Chihuahua Capital Mayor Marco Bonilla presents Fifth Government Report
Chihuahua Capital Mayor Marco Bonilla presented his Fifth Government Report, highlighting significant economic and security developments over the last five years. Key achievements cited include the creation of over 30,000 formal jobs, a rise in the average daily real wage from 419 to approximately 670 pesos, and the attraction of $2.224 billion USD in Foreign Direct Investment. The administration also reported an investment of over 4.5 billion pesos in infrastructure, including road improvements, lighting modernization, and the construction of various public works.
In terms of security, the report emphasized the use of technology, such as the Halcón I helicopter and specialized drones, to enhance surveillance and emergency response. Bonilla noted that the municipal police force has been strengthened through increased personnel and technological integration.
However, the report also faced criticism. Opponents from Morena pointed to a debt of 1.095 billion pesos, high costs for rented patrol units, and questioned the actual percentage of spending directed toward infrastructure. Additionally, the report served as a political platform, with observers noting Bonilla’s potential positioning for the 2027 gubernatorial race.
