Campeche Governor Layda Sansores said the state lacks funds for basic services and warns that the administration could face total paralysis [1, 2].
This financial crisis threatens the delivery of essential government functions and public utilities across the state. If the administration cannot cover operational costs, it may lead to a shutdown of critical infrastructure and state offices.
Sansores said that Campeche does not have resources even for basic needs [1]. The governor highlighted the inability to pay for electricity, which is essential for maintaining government operations [2].
According to Sansores, the crisis is the result of a federal budget reduction that removed more than four billion pesos [3] from the funding allocated to Campeche. This reduction has left the state unable to cover its most fundamental expenses [3].
"If there is no money for electricity, we do not work," Sansores said [2]. The governor said that the lack of funding has reached a point where the state cannot sustain its basic obligations [1].
Sansores said that the state is currently facing a situation where the administration could be completely paralyzed [2]. The governor's warnings emphasize a growing tension between state-level operational needs and federal fiscal policy, a gap that now threatens the daily functioning of the state government.
“"Campeche no tiene recursos ni para lo básico"”
This situation highlights a severe fiscal disconnect between the Mexican federal government and the state of Campeche. A budget cut of this magnitude suggests either a strategic shift in federal funding priorities or a significant administrative dispute, leaving the state government unable to maintain basic utility payments and operational stability.
