Chihuahua Mayor Marco Bonilla administrative activities

Overview

Following the conclusion of his term as president of the Mexican Network of Child-Friendly Cities in August 2026, Chihuahua Mayor Marco Bonilla Mendoza has transitioned to the dissemination of his Fifth Government Report, covering his administration from 2024 to 2027. The report emphasizes infrastructure investments, such as the 350 million pesos allocated to strategic overpasses and the restoration of the historic Quinta Touché to house the Águeda Lozano Contemporary Art Museum. In his formal presentation, Bonilla highlighted broader economic achievements, including the creation of over 30,000 jobs, an increase in the average daily real wage—which rose from 419 to approximately 670 pesos between 2021 and May 2026—and the attraction of $2.224 billion USD in foreign direct investment. Total infrastructure investments were reported at over 4.5 billion pesos, focusing on mobility, public lighting, and rural roads. Socially, the administration reported providing school supplies to over 421,000 students and issuing more than 85,000 scholarships. Security efforts have focused on expanding the municipal police force, with approximately one-fourth of municipal income dedicated to the Public Security Directorate. Bonilla noted that crime indicators have reached their best levels in a decade, aided by the addition of 500 new elements, 46 patrol units, and the use of technology such as drones and the Halcón I helicopter. Despite these claims, the report faced criticism from Morena opponents, who cited a debt of 1.095 billion pesos and high costs for rented patrol units. Politically, Bonilla has used his platform to signal future ambitions. After being recognized as one of Mexico’s 300 most influential leaders, he inaugurated the Third JASP Forum, ‘Maximizando Impactos,’ to address social issues like mental health and addiction.
