In adherence to the powers and obligations stipulated in the Political Constitution of Mexico City, the local Law on Transparency, Access to Public Information and Accountability, and the Regulations of the local Congress, Deputy Adriana Espinosa de los Monteros (MORENA) presented the First Semiannual Report of the Second Year of the Third Legislature.
The report details the activities undertaken by the Commission, highlighting approved opinions, issued agreements, and a list of legislative initiatives and proposals referred to it.
Key Engagements and Future Directives
Deputy Espinosa de los Monteros, who also serves as the President of the Commission, emphasized the significance of the working meetings held with the Secretariat of Comprehensive Water Management (SEGIAGUA). These collaborations, she noted, significantly enrich the legislative work of the capital’s Congress in this area, ultimately benefiting the residents of the metropolis. She particularly stressed their role in strengthening public policies designed to safeguard the human right to this vital resource.
During his participation, Deputy Federico Chávez Semerena (PAN) urged SEGIAGUA to place greater emphasis on atypical rainfall events. He called for the generation of mechanisms that would contribute to increased water infiltration into the subsoil and the expansion of water infrastructure.
