Elections of delegados still uncertain according to the mayor
The mayor of Chapala, Alejandro Aguirre Curiel, in a conference on October 19th.
Sofía Medeles / Domingo M. Flores (Ajijic, Jal.)-Alejandro Aguirre Curiel said the officials in charge of the five towns of the municipality are currently in charge of the offices, and he will wait for the first one hundred days to pass (after the start of his government), to give them time to carry out their work plan and evaluate them.
«It is a matter of seeing the times, let’s hope that everyone can participate in the election. Besides, we will see how far it is convenient to carry out the open election,» Aguirre Curiel stated. Regarding the election of delegates, the mayor has said the wait will also depend on the decision of the health committee, since the pandemic could be an issue.
The Organic Regulation of Government of Chapala, was modified three years ago when the government of the former mayor of Chapala, Moisés Anaya Aguilar had begun. Article 32 pointed out that three months after the administration arrived in power the public administration would have to call elections, but with the modification the date to call elections was left free. Likewise, the mandatory nature was removed, since now in Article 5, it is clarified that the municipal mayor is the person who can appoint or remove the delegate from office.
For some inhabitants this change in the Organic Regulations meant (at that time) a step backwards in the search for democracy in the municipality since according to what was reported by this media in publications from years ago if a future municipal president does not want to, he will not elect delegates.
