Public Hearings of the Federal District
The Public Hearing of Mexico City is an instrument for neighbors, representative citizen groups and organizations: 1) to make proposals to the Head of Government or heads of delegation on agreements or acts; 2) to receive information on the actions of the Public Administration of the city; 3) to submit petitions, proposals or complaints on all matters related to the Public Administration; and, 4) to evaluate the compliance with government programs and actions by the authorities. Once the authorities hear the statements and requests made by the public, they should set deadlines to analyze the matter, then express themselves with respect to the faculties, competencies and procedures to resolve the issues raised; and, finally, establish minimum commitments that are achievable.
