  • Mexico City’s PAN plans a detailed review of Mayor Clara Brugada’s second government report.
  • The opposition party says it will focus on unemployment, water shortages, insecurity, mobility, health, education and alleged property dispossession.
  • PAN lawmakers said 212,709 people are unemployed, 22.6% lack enough income to buy the basic food basket, and about 40% of drinking water is lost through leaks.

Mexico City’s PAN is preparing a sharp challenge to Clara Brugada’s second government report, promising to test its official figures against what residents experience across the capital.

Luisa Gutiérrez, president of PAN Mexico City, said the party would conduct a technical and comprehensive analysis. She said it would acknowledge successful work but also criticize failures and situations that do not match the city’s reality. In her view, Mexico City does not belong to Claudia Sheinbaum’s “wonderful Mexico,” and Morena should take a deeper look at insecurity, mobility, health, education, employment and property dispossession, which she said has exceeded the authorities’ capacity.

The review, known as the glosa, will bring government officials and secretariat heads before local lawmakers to answer questions. Gutiérrez said PAN would present arguments contrasting official data with residents’ daily realities. She accused the government of abandoning families and focusing on praising the legacy of former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador rather than working for the capital.

wonderful Mexico

— Luisa GutiérrezThe PAN Mexico City leader used the phrase while arguing that the capital’s conditions do not match the national image associated with Claudia Sheinbaum.

“We will not be timid about exposing the reality of the capital amid a national panorama immersed in narcopolitics and a panorama of ungovernability,” Gutiérrez said. She called for better public services, dignified health care, stronger education and an end to extortion.

Local lawmakers Laura Álvarez and Claudia Pérez said unemployment had risen to 4.5%, leaving 212,709 people without work, which they described as the highest level among Mexico’s states. They also said 22.6% of residents lack sufficient income to buy the basic food basket, while four in 10 workers have no formal job. Water remains another focus: they said nearly 40% of drinking water is lost through leaks, and the city received 46,773 requests for water tankers in the past year, the highest figure in eight years. They added that 284 neighborhoods across 10 boroughs receive water only on scheduled days or during limited hours.

We will not be timid about exposing the reality of the capital amid a national panorama immersed in narcopolitics and a panorama of ungovernability.
