The meeting was held in Guadalajara, Jalisco, this Monday, March 14, where Dante Delgado, national coordinator of the MC; Clemente Castañeda, party leader in the Senate of the Republic; Verónica Delgadillo, president of the National Council, and Manuel Romo, state leader, took the floor and posed the challenges of their agenda at present, which supports six thematic axes:

1.- Fiscal federalism.

2.- Progressivity.

3.- Substantive equality and gender perspective.

4.- Transparency, accountability, quality of spending.

5.- Sustainability.

6.- Construction of agreements and consensus.

According to the itinerary of the match, this is the first of eight forums to be held in different parts of the republic, where its conclusions will be taken to the First Democratic National Convention to be held on December 5 and 6, 2022.

During his participation, Delgado Rannauro said that these forums began in Jalisco because they want that state to be the “engine of the national transformation project of the Citizen Movement”. Along the same lines of discursion, the national coordinator pointed out that Enrique Alfaro, governor of the entity, is a “visionary and committed to the future of Mexico.”

On his own, Castañeda Hoeflich warned that without good fiscal policy it is impossible to combat inequality and poverty, so the party proposed focusing public discussion on the problem of how federalized money is distributed and spent.

He added that in the model presented in the project “Evolución Mexicana”, what is proposed are three approaches to taxation:

1.- The reassignment of collection powers with political co-responsibility of the three orders of government.

2.- A readjustment of the distributive perspective so that there is true fiscal federalism.

3.- The design of a new redistributive model to achieve a welfare state.

Delgadillo García considered that the exercise of these forums has the character of historical character, since the review of the distribution of federal resources will help make each region “stronger and, of course, more competitive.”

Finally, Romo Parra elaborated on the federalist agenda in the state and, converging with his co-supporters, insisted that “we know what is being done in Jalisco.” Well, in December 2021, the consultation was held to ask people about the fiscal pact, where half a million people “participated to tell the country that in Jalisco people do want to review the fiscal pact.”

In this regard, it should be noted that since 2020 Alfaro Ramírez joined the Federalist Alliance (AF), a brotherhood of governors who wanted President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) to open the door of the National Palace for them to discuss the so-called Federal Pact, which regulates contributions and the amount they receive in exchange from the federal executive; however, López Obrador never received them and, as a result, this revision never occurred.
