Santiago Taboadaopposition pre-candidate Head of Government from Mexico Cityassured that the only thing wrong with the capital is its government.

This government is upside down. They dropped the Metrothey dropped the Long distance, there is no water, (…) every day there are three, four, five, six people executed in the city, extortion going up. This city is so big, it has very positive things: its people, what the city implies in terms of culture, sports, infrastructure; The only thing that this city has wrong is its government, it is the only thing that this city does not have according to its stature,” he said in an interview with Joaquín López-Dóriga in Formula Group.

Taboada Curtain highlighted that the main problems of the Mexico City They are security and water, which the entity’s administration has not been able to resolve.

Today people neither feel safer, nor do they feel that more water reaches their home. With this diagnosis, what we can see is a city that neither binds nor unties the head of Government (Martí Batres), which is abandoned. I insist, see the differences, the contrasts, the numbers in security and you say ‘so what did they do?’. They say: ‘our great prosecutor’, who, by the way, has already gone to be a senator. How right we were that she was the ‘carnal prosecutor’; the first day she leaves her job and they put her as a candidate for senator of Morena. In the end, what confirms to us is that the opposition was right, having avoided the ratification of a prosecutor in a city that is mired in a security problem and that requires that those who are going to be in charge have the capacity,” he stated.

Sheinbaum would not “drag” Clara Brugada, considers Taboada and highlights errors

Santiago Taboada considered that if Claudia Sheinbaum wins the Presidency on June 2, this would not achieve Clara Brugada will win the Head of Government from Mexico City.

We have had elections in Mexico City where, for example, the President of the Republic has won the election; I give the example of Vicente Foxwhich in the Mexico City He gets a good margin of difference and Santiago Creel loses it by six points. Obviously the 2006 election is coming, Andrés Manuel and Marcelo get more votes (in Mexico City), and Felipe Calderón wins the Presidency. We believe that in this process we will also grow hand in hand with the presidential candidacy,” he assured.

The candidate recalled the errors that the last administrations have had in Mexico City, which have emanated from the PRD y Morenaboth parties in which the now president Andrés Manuel López Obrador was.

This model, the only line (the 12th) that they built of the Metro they dropped it. Zero investment. There is Mario Delgado as president of Morena, that we owe it to him that we continue paying for the trains that do not fit on Line 12, that they bought poorly. Those trains were not custom-made; We didn’t even buy them, we have been renting those trains for 12 years, 12 billion pesos a year. Those moments where there were no water investment, transportation, today we are paying for them. Today I believe that we must rethink how we want to live next six years in the city,” he said.

Taboada Cortina also highlighted the electoral results in Mexico City in the 2021 elections, when the opposition won nine of 16 mayoralties and assured that it might have been up to 11, because in two mayoralties the opposition parties were not in coalition.

I am convinced that there will be great citizen participation in this year’s elections. What participation allows is that the greater the participation, the clientelist political structures are diluted, that happened in 2021 (Sic.) in Mexico City, that is why there were territories where it would not have been thought of, and there were other types of results.” , he highlighted.
