Mexico City.- The Cempasúchil Flower Festival, whose current edition was recently inaugurated by Mexico City authorities, has cost the capital’s administration nearly two million pesos, an amount of budget that could be used in the patching of roads primaries in half of the districts, according to statements from the government headed by Clara Brugada.
For the previous celebration of this celebration, the local Tourism Secretariat, headed since then by Alejandra Frausto, entered into two contracts that amounted to one million 900 thousand pesos, with the company Casa Vega Eventos, SA de CV, as declared by the capital’s Government agency itself, in the National Transparency Platform (PNT).
This amount of public resources is enough for the Ministry of Works and Services, which has been headed by Raúl Basulto for more than a year, to rely on construction companies to pave main streets in around half of the municipalities of Mexico City, according to statements and documentation that this agency uploaded to the same PNT.
An example of the above is that the Secretariat led by Basulto Luviano, committed on April 16 just over four and a half million pesos, so that the company Jayol, SA de CV, is in charge of “maintenance and rehabilitation of the primary road network (…) in the 16 municipalities of Mexico City”; as stated in the public version of the contract DGOIV-LPN-L-1-117-25.
This edition of Cempasúchil Flower Festival, It was inaugurated on Paseo de la Reforma, one of the emblematic avenues of the country’s capital, where producers from rural areas exhibit and trade thousands of specimens.
The start of the celebration was led by the Secretary of Tourism, Frausto Guerrero.
