translated from Spanish: Ensure that urban law does not contradict autonomy

Monterrey.-Despite criticism that reform constitutional that analyzes the local Congress municipal building in the sense of that contradicts the municipal autonomy enshrined in the 115 c onstitucional, Víctor Arturo Bautista today said that it is not so.  During a work table that discussed how to form metropolitan areas, the President of the Mexican Association of public works and infrastructure, said that the reform does not violate, as he has been said, the provisions of article 115, because this provides that , when municipalities are United by their growth, can have joint management.  “I know that he has been much discussed municipal autonomy, the possible interference, I think that there, because it would discuss that here there are bodies that regulates the water and there is a violation of the autonomy, but rather should understand that it is a coordination of effort “s to make things happen”, said.
… Here there are already some functions coordinated by the State and municipalities do not participate and has not discussed the issue, then we see is not wrong, that we can reach an agreement and do things together in a subsequent interview, reiterated that no afectac there was ion to the autonomy of the municipalities.
Admittedly… There is a metropolitan phenomenon from the moment in which there is a functional relationship or there is a conurbation and that creates problems.

  “Sometimes the municipalities make decisions inside, but forget these peripheries and it is important that there is support bodies to coordinate the solutions and that they are supported with technical studies both for the existing problems such as prospecting what it might do in a coordinated manner.”” Own 115 speaks of coordination, of a coordinated, that each who contribute and should not forget that it integrates to the figure of the Governor and the figure of the municipal Presidents so the votes are equal and it is an outlet here in the proposal of coordinated, joint decisions… the law speaks of the possibility of coordinate in solving joint problems”. Jorge de León, Chairman of the Committee on constitutional issues, said that constitutional reform is in favour of the municipalities and the order and that, although it has been challenged, are open to all comments, because what is being sought is to achieve a good document final.
It is important to continue inviting anyone interested in the issues that are being dealt with constitutional reform, participating, send feedback to be able to be considered prior to drawing up the final report will be to develop “today we have already made 12 working groups, rapporteurs 22, close to 200 attendees and more than 150 positions and reviews will be integrated into the record, which is working in a way open, precisely how much change is necessary so that it can be processed and presented to a possible approval.  “If so determined by the members of the Commission (having substantial changes with regard to what was approved in the first round) so it will be, the initiative has six constitutional precepts to modify and we want a document that is agreed with all parties” .  He added that for April 30 is scheduled to have the conclusions of the analysis and is not yet defined when the opinion could occur.
