On April 28th, Layda Sansores asserted that her administration lacked sufficient funds to pay its electricity bill due to a “liquidity crisis,” even emphasizing that she had requested an extension while they secured the necessary funds.
Through her program “Martes del Jaguar” (Jaguar Tuesday), she revealed a multimillion-dollar debt and a lack of resources, stating that if the situation wasn’t resolved and the electricity was cut off, they would simply close the offices and “stop working.” She has since removed the video.
The irony of this situation lies in the fact that, despite the heat wave currently gripping the country and causing a surge in electricity prices, the government itself is requesting extensions that citizens cannot access.
Furthermore, while the Campeche offices face a multimillion-dollar debt, funds were allocated to offer a free Mother’s Day concert featuring Socios del Ritmo, the cost of which is equivalent to 10% of the energy debt.
What procedures and offices are at risk if the power goes out in Campeche?
Driver’s licenses and vehicle registration: These would be the first to be paralyzed, so any procedures and payments of fines, license plate authorizations, or license renewals would be suspended indefinitely.
Birth, marriage, and death certificates: This would halt legal processes, inheritance payments, and the legalization of real estate purchases or sales.
Academic and degree certificates: The validation and delivery of official documents would be paused, and young people would not be able to obtain their admission papers or job contracts.
Follow-up on complaints and victim support: Most seriously, administrative offices of the State Attorney General’s Office and state juvenile centers would experience delays in their processes due to the failure of servers and internal networks.
Is Campeche really bankrupt?
Although the budget had already been approved, according to PRI, PAN and MC deputies, Campeche faces a state debt of one billion pesos without a clear destination, and despite the lack of direction of the current governor —who assures and emphasizes that they have no money— the federal government decided to provide a “financial rescue” on commission.
