In a recent investigation, it was documented that the Chamber of Deputies spent 60,099,571 pesos in 2024 irresponsibly. All despite the policy of republican austerity promoted by Morenaa.
The person in charge of authorizing these expenses was the official deputy Armando Contreras Castillo. He was then heading the Administration Committee, composed of seven legislators.
The magazine Proceso made this account considering only the disbursements on activities and items not directly related to the legislative work of the deputies.
What did the deputies spend our money on?
One of the most significant expenses was the construction of the Bicentennial Bridge of the Federal Constitution of 1824 that connects the Legislative Palace with the former San Lázaro Garita.
This work, initially awarded to Corporación Integral Bedrok for 26.6 million pesos, ended up being executed by another company. This company was SAIDPRO, SA de CV, however, there is no public contract to confirm it.
Despite its design with high-end materials and elevators, the bridge is little used because the former San Lázaro Garita is not open to the public.
Purchase of clothing for employees
Another significant expense was the acquisition of clothing and uniforms for 19 million pesos from the company Grupo Taurus, created shortly before the contract was awarded.
The purchase included:
1,173 suits for men.
221 tailored suits for women.
726 jerseys and 290 blouses.
537 tactical jackets, among other garments.
