In mid‑July, mayors from across Nuevo León gathered at the state palace to demand the release of between 1.2 billion and 1.7 billion pesos that the state treasury allegedly owes municipalities for local taxes, fines and vehicle registrations. The mayors argued that the withheld funds jeopardise public‑safety staffing, street maintenance and basic services, while state officials cited audit reports to deny any outstanding debt.

By early August, the focus had broadened to a wider fiscal and development agenda. Local politicians, including Andrés Mijes Llovera and Senator Waldo Fernández, called for equitable growth, the implementation of a metropolitan transformation plan, and a consensus on the 2027 state budget. They warned that continued political conflict could undermine public services and urged dialogue to resolve the funding impasse and translate new investments into tangible improvements for residents.
