Mexico City Congress leader urges productivity in farewell address

Jesús Sesma bid farewell to his role as president of the Board of Directors of the Congress of Mexico City, using his final session to implore fellow legislators to boost their productivity and avoid last-minute work.

“

This Congress has the technical, human, and institutional capacity to address and process issues from the moment they are presented.

Sesma, an ecologist legislator, requested a leave of absence for May 29, 30, and 31, making his Thursday session his last at the helm of the local Congress during the current ordinary period. He expressed gratitude to parliamentary services staff, security personnel, and parliamentary coordinators for their support since his election last September.

“

We must seriously commit to building a more efficient, orderly, and timely Congress that responds to citizens' demands promptly and does not allow initiatives, agreements, and social causes to remain stalled due to a lack of attention or coordination.

"This Congress has the technical, human, and institutional capacity to address and process issues from the moment they are presented," Sesma stated. He stressed that a shared responsibility exists among all members of the Legislative Power to prevent backlogs from accumulating. "We must seriously commit to building a more efficient, orderly, and timely Congress that responds to citizens' demands promptly and does not allow initiatives, agreements, and social causes to remain stalled due to a lack of attention or coordination."

“

May 31 marks the end of a legislative period, but it also opens a new opportunity to correct, improve, and strengthen our parliamentary work.

Sesma urged his colleagues to advance and finalize a new Organic Law and Regulations for the Congress, a project initiated at the start of the current Legislature. "May 31 marks the end of a legislative period, but it also opens a new opportunity to correct, improve, and strengthen our parliamentary work," he added. He noted that personal matters require his attention, making this his final day in the current session. "Beyond colors, junctures, or political differences, we all share something fundamental: the privilege and enormous responsibility of serving Mexico City."
