Overview
- Mayor Circe Camacho asked the Mexico City Congress for a 15% increase in 2026 funding, citing expected World Cup tourism, with the draft allotment at 2.812 billion pesos, up 200 million from 2025.
- Her 2026 agenda sets four priorities that include rehabilitating 10 embarkation docks, creating safe routes and tourist signage, boosting urban services and security, expanding community spaces, and funding land-regularization studies with UNAM.
- Deputies from PAN and MC cited low budget execution around 60% and warned of potential underspending, pointing to zero progress in some participatory projects and stalled drainage and hydraulic works.
- Works flagged with no reported advance include drainage in San Antonio, water network upgrades in Cristo Rey, and drainage rehabilitation on Avenida Hidalgo in La Asunción and Segunda Cerrada de Emiliano Zapata.
- Camacho’s report counters with an 80% execution figure and details such as 90,000 square meters of resurfacing, nearly 90 million pesos for drainage and water, a 52 million peso overhaul of Deportivo Xochimilco, added sanitation fleets, and 50 new patrol and emergency units, while deputies also pressed for mobility plans and action on canal contamination affecting the axolotl.
