Overview
- PRI deputy Socorro Jasso and PAN deputy Daniel Chimal filed an exhorto urging the Infrastructure, Communications and Transport Ministry to launch a nationwide repair and prevention plan for streets, avenues and federal highways.
- Jasso called for a specific SICT budget line with transparency measures and coordination with state and municipal authorities to deliver permanent fixes that meet accessibility and road‑safety standards.
- Lawmakers said atypically intense rains in recent months have laid bare the fragility of road infrastructure, with knock‑on effects for mobility, tourism and the economy.
- They cited safety risks using recent cases, including Paralympic athletes Francisco Sancelmente and Gonzalo Valdovinos who fell into a deep pothole on Paseo de la Reforma during the Aug. 31 Mexico City marathon.
- PAN legislators pressed for accountability, questioning the use of 4 billion pesos in CDMX’s Bachetón program and noting at least 164 sinkholes recorded this year in the capital.
