Governor Samuel García has faced scrutiny regarding administrative and security policies in Nuevo León. The National Association of Mayors (ANAC) called for investigations into allegations that the state government is illegally withholding over 30 million pesos in vehicle fine revenues intended for local municipalities. Amidst these challenges, García reported significant reductions in crime, including a 90% drop in intentional homicides and a 97% decrease in vehicle theft compared to 2024. He also moved to repeal the ‘Pase Turístico’ initiative following public backlash regarding freedom of movement.

Following these developments, the administration introduced the ‘Ponte Nuevo, Ponte al Corriente’ program. This fiscal initiative aims to assist citizens and businesses in regularizing their tax status by condoning or reducing state debts, fines, and surcharges. The program covers payroll taxes, vehicle registration, and water debts. García stated this measure is part of a 2027 economic strategy intended to avoid new taxes or increases.
