Public Hearings of Mexico City?s Government
The ?Public Hearings of Mexico City?s Government? take place every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 6:00 to 8:00 am in the City Hall Old Palace (Antiguo Palacio del Ayuntamiento). These audiences are personally attended by Mexico City Mayor: Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo (MORENA), who is present during the first hour; and afterwards the hearings are handled by her work team and staff from different government departments. On the day of the hearings, 50 cards are handled to manage and organize the participation of the numerous citizens that demand an audience. The hearings are open to all the inhabitants of Mexico City and are intended to facilitate a channel to citizens through which they can expose and share their problems to the local authorities with the aim of searching for concrete solutions. The topics discussed during the audiences are varied; however, some of the recurring topics relate to labor abuses, insecurity, urban services, health services, and job applications, among others.
