Having borrowed 2.4 billion pesos to pay off outstanding debt from the Guadalajara 2011 Pan American Games, the Jalisco Congress has proposed that a citizens’ committee investigate the finances behind the games.
State legislators from the National Action Party (PAN), the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) are working to combine three proposals for citizen participation in the auditing process. The PAN and PRI deputies agreed that the committee should be composed entirely of citizens because they consider state auditor Alonso Godoy Pelayo to be untrustworthy.
