If elected to Chapala’s mayor seat, candidate Alejandro Aguirre (standing, second from left) pledges to set up a special office dedicated to assisting expat residents, complete with bilingual personnel and a 24/7 telephone line.
He made the commitment during a June 12 encounter with English speakers, attended only by U.S. citizens J.E. Jack and Sandra Murr, who questioned the candidate on local issues such as poor Internet service, traffic congestion and Ajijic’s Pueblo Mágico bid.
The candidate was accompanied by interpreter María Eugenia Real and campaign supporters Cesar Ibarra and Jorge Calva.
