This review follows period of tension within the local council, where officials had previously questioned public spending, service contracts, and expenses related to the 2025 Feria del Norte.

Mayor Jacobo Rodríguez characterized the audit as an “ordinary procedure” within the state’s annual inspection program. He stated that the administration has provided the necessary documentation and noted that the focus has transitioned from reviewing public investment to examining current spending of municipal resources.
