The Hagamos party spoke out against the reform of the Law on Investment Projects and Provision of Services (PIPS), which they say was conceived behind the back of society and which they intend to apply as a way to bring Jalisco to “a worse time of public debt.
“The circumstances in which the initiative was voted responded mainly to give preference to the construction of Line 4 of the (…) The pernicious thing about the new law is not that Line 4 is yet to come, but the disappearance of minimum requirements, such as the unsolicited offer and a natural counterweight that watches over each of the projects,” the party said in a statement.
In addition, they highlight that the Government of Jalisco has sufficient resources to start Line 4, without the need to contract financial schemes that would take 30 years to pay, with large sums of interest.
“The use of Public Private Partnership (PPP) models has not been encouraging in the world and not even in our state. A paradigmatic case continues to be the construction of the Tlajomulco Administrative Center (CAT), whose initial value was 22 million dollars and at the end of the contract they will end up paying 134 million dollars,” they highlighted.
Finally, they reiterated their rejection of said initiative, and They recalled that “we wanted to improve the law, we proposed locks because we know that the abuses of the current government and the majority of Congress have hurt public financesuntil taking them to the brink of the abyss, but above all the trust of the millions of people who want a better state”.
