Despite specific accusations and complaints from the opposition deputies of “handled” opinions of the laws of the 2026 economic packagemost of the Morena deputies approved the General Finance, Income and Expenditure laws in a marathon session of the Budget, State and Municipal Heritage Commission of the State Congress.
The deputies of PAN Rogers Penics and Izel Fatal Fatal They denounced an alteration to the original initiative they received regarding the Governor Joaquín Díaz Mena’s proposal to increase the Payroll Tax from 3 to 3.75%because without the deputies having knowledge or authorizing it, they included in that opinion for discussion the governor’s agreement on the exemption of this payment for micro and small businesses. However, the PAN deputies considered that there was a violation of the legislative procedure, but even so, the majority of Morena approved this tax law by majority.
Other rigged play of the Morena deputies was during the draft opinion of the loan by $1.53 billion because only the deputy Alejandro Cuevas Mena It had the opinion with the description of each of the three works that the state government intends to build with that money.
The deputy Itzel Falla who read the mutilated opinion, re-read the project in full to demonstrate that the opinions that were distributed to the opposition deputies did not have those concepts that Cuevas Mena read, which was proven that the opposition deputies received an incomplete opinion.
Without specifying destination
Itzel Falla said at the end of the reading that annex 15 is a general investment portfolio of more than $3.5 billion where he was autism centerbut it does not specify that these loans were only for the three works: the autistic center, in the metropolitan ring and the poles of well-being.
“Don’t worry, that loan $40 million Yes, the PAN can approve it to move the autism center forward, but if it is to advertise the Mayan Renaissance that they recognize it,” he said. “It is becoming evident, we do not have access to the same information that you have. We do not receive the studies and we receive different opinions, we do not receive the annexes and when we open the Congress microsite it only has 60 opinions, here it is clear who receives orders.”
The president of the commission, Rafael German Quintal Medinarecognized the error in the delivery of the incomplete opinion and at the same time seriously missed the secretary general, Martin Chuc Pereira.
The Morenista said that it is important to say that despite this error, deep down these projects do exist.
He deputy Torres Peniche pointed out that they found out about second peripheral by a media outlet due to the announcement made by the Secretary of Administration and Finance, and that it would cost $1,141 million and does not talk about other constructions. Even, nor did Governor Díaz Mena make the announcement of the second peripheral ring.
For its part, Álvaro Cetina Puerto, from the PAN, He said that by simply removing the $40 million in advertising spending for the Mayan Renaissance spectaculars, the autism center will be built, therefore the government loan is not necessary.
Where is the money for the ATY?
In a first intervention, Cetina Puerto highlighted that it is a lie that the money from the employment tax is for strengthen the Transport Agency because you will only receive in this budget an increase of $73 million, of the $731 million of that tax, so Where will the $658 million be?
Wilmer Monforte Marfil, president of the Government and Political Coordination Board, defended and recriminated the loans of previous governments and said that this situation can be fixed in two steps and ordered it to be composed and approved. And he launched another blackmail: you decide if you are in favor of development, of the autistic center and poles of well-being, it is your decision.
Javier Osante Solis He was harsher, he said that the deputy Cuevas Mena is the only one who defends the government and Morena, is the only one who participates, who speaks and the other deputies do not. In addition, the emecista said that it is blackmail that they use the autistic center as a basis for the approval of the loan.
Quickly, the general secretary of Congress, Martin Chuc Pereira He reviewed and asked his collaborators to locate the complete copies and a secretary brought a folder with copies of the opinion that did contain the description of the works.
With this demonstration, the elements of persuasion-blackmail that Cuevas Mena used to justify the loan and his request that it be approved by the PAN and the Citizen Movement became worthless since the text he read was there, which it was proven was not that text.
The controversial points of the tax law that the opposition deputies debated were regarding the impact of the ISN on jobs and workers’ income because it will surely prevent a decrease in the creation of new job positions, loss of more than jobs in this state administration because in a single year he already lost 11,000 jobs and little chance of salaries improving.
The other debate was about the creation of the tax on private transportation platforms because, according to representative Itzel Falla, it would fall on a federal, non-state authority. On the other hand, if it is charged as use or contributions, an income of just over $50 million would be assured for the Transportation Agency.
However, the Morenista majority prevailed again and approved it as a state tax because there is a history of Jalisco charging it without any problem.
Cuevas Mena revealed that the platform companies do not pay this contribution because they protected themselves, which contradicted his statements that the money they charge from private transport companies “They are going to Harvard and Quintana Roo”in reference to the fact that they are for the former governor Mauricio Vila and the former director of the agency, Rafael Hernández Kotasek.
In this session, the reform was also approved, now with the vote of the PAN and the Citizen Movement, so that the Official State Gazette does not charge the agencies for publications, but Torres Peniche proposed that the budget of this information body be increased.
There were other verbal clashes between the deputies during the session, but finally the Morenistas imposed their majority and approved all the laws of the fiscal and economic package for 2026.
Ucú Territorial Reserve
The Morenoist majority also approved the donation of 58 hectares of Ucú land.
The curious thing is that those lands are not property of the state government but it is Isstey heritage and all its members because, according to representative Roger Torres, it was in payment of a debt owed by PRI governments.
The PAN deputy recalled that that reserve is managed by a trust and among its clauses it establishes that cannot be donated but rather they are marketable to capitalize on Isstey.
And even with the warning that the legal owners could protest or resort to legal proceedings, the ddeputies from Morena and PT They approved that those lands are allocated for the social housing program and for the Mayan Train.
Torres Peniche insisted that the State government can buy those lands for $1.5 million per hectare, which is the valued and base price so that it can later donate it to those federal institutions. However, the proposal was not taken into account.
