LGBTIQ+ Unit in San Luis Potosí faces resource and budget constraints

The Specialized Unit for the Attention of LGBTIQ+ Populations in San Luis Potosí is operating with significant administrative limitations. Despite its creation nearly a year ago to develop public policies and address discrimination, official records indicate the unit has only one identified staff position and lacks its own dedicated budget.

While the administration of Enrique Galindo Ceballos included the unit's creation in its annual report, claiming 77 percent compliance with actions for the LGBTIQ+ community, there is no specific data regarding the number of people assisted or cases handled. Information requests revealed no recorded expenditures for programs, campaigns, or training between November 2025 and July 2026.

In a separate development, the unit participated in a national meeting in Mexico focused on sexual and gender diversity. This gathering brought together public institutions, civil society, and international organizations, including the Spanish Ambassador to Mexico, to discuss human rights and the continuity of diversity policies across different territories.
