A political dispute has emerged between the Mayor of Reynosa, Carlos Peña Ortiz, and Humberto Prieto Herrera, the President of the Governing Board of the Tamaulipas State Congress.

Peña Ortiz accused the State Congress of using suppliers allegedly linked to criminal activities, such as extortion. Prieto Herrera dismissed these claims as “baseless” and challenged the Mayor to provide concrete evidence. He noted that the legislature is subject to state and federal auditing and invited the Mayor to present proof so that a joint complaint could be filed with authorities.
