Citizen’s Movement (MC) candidate Moises Anaya is promising greater empowerment of citizens if he wins the election to be Chapala’s next mayor.
Running at that head of a slate made up almost entirely of men and women who have never held public office, Anaya pledges to establish a citizen council of elected, unsalaried representatives from each of the municipality’s 30 barrios, who will participate in decision-making by advising him on complaints, recommendations and the need for public works projects voiced by their neighbors. The body will also be encouraged to review Chapala’s public finances.
In addition, Anaya states his intention of holding a plebiscite at the half-way point of his administration, vowing to resign the mayor’s post if constituents are not satisfied with his performance.
