San Luis Potosí municipal administration controversies
Overview
The administration of Mayor Enrique Galindo Ceballos in San Luis Potosí has faced scrutiny regarding both personnel management and fiscal policy.
Initially, the mayor defended the municipal hiring of Enrique Dahud Uresti, the interim leader of the National Action Party (PAN), under a fee-based contract for specific services. Galindo dismissed accusations of impropriety as political maneuvering, countering claims from State Congress President Luis Fernando Gámez Macías by alleging that Gámez Macías also receives a government salary.
Regarding fiscal policy, the administration is analyzing the impact of the federal General Law for the Strengthening and Harmonization of Cadastral and Registry Services. Although the Senate-passed reform promotes updating cadastral records to market values, Galindo has instructed the Cadastre department to study the legislation's implications. He stated that the 2027 revenue law aims to maintain current levels for municipal taxes, rights, and fees to avoid additional tax burdens during the final year of his term, though some inflation-indexed fees may adjust automatically.
Political tensions have escalated as Luis Fernando Gámez Macías, President of the State Congress Board of Directors, formally rejected personal or institutional dialogue with Mayor Galindo. Gámez characterized the mayor as “pendenciero” (quarrelsome) and “majadero” (obnoxious), accusing him of disrespecting Governor Ricardo Gallardo Cardona and attacking the legislature's image. Gámez also leveled accusations of mismanagement in security, sports, and green areas, citing an outstanding audit involving 450 million pesos.
