It was described as an <strong>inefficient and costly mechanism<\/strong>, burdened by a reactive, bureaucratic structure and tainted by <strong>corruption in its execution<\/strong>. Crucially, the system failed to ensure a timely response to emergencies, often delaying the release of funds by nearly two months (<strong>42 working days<\/strong>), whilst also lacking transparency for citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secretary of Anti-Corruption and Good Governance, <strong>Raquel Buenrostro S\u00e1nchez<\/strong>, explained that <strong>FONDEN<\/strong> originated during the neoliberal era, a period when public trusts frequently managed resources with <strong>opacity<\/strong>. She highlighted that state governments were obliged to contribute <strong>fifty per cent<\/strong> of the funds before the remaining fifty per cent could be covered by the Federation, a process that proved highly cumbersome. Furthermore, she revealed that a significant and <strong>atypical sum<\/strong> of <strong>59,606 million pesos (mdp)<\/strong> was allocated in 2018, an election year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Secretary detailed that, within that period, an astonishing <strong>46 out of 57 extraordinary declarations<\/strong> were issued for heatwaves, collectively drawing <strong>427 mdp<\/strong> from the fund. <strong>Buenrostro S\u00e1nchez<\/strong> stated that every activation of <strong>FONDEN<\/strong> consistently registered shortfalls of approximately <strong>500 mdp<\/strong>, resulting from <strong>irregular actions<\/strong> perpetrated during the various neoliberal administrations. The analysis confirms the urgent necessity of a more effective and transparent disaster response strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>#M\u00e9xicoNewsTv\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MexicoNewsTv\/\">M\u00e9xico News tv<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/clau-0-9.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/clau-0-9.png 650w, https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/clau-0-9-300x185.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#FederalGovernment,\u00a0#Mexico.-\u00a0During the morning conference, \u00abLas Ma\u00f1aneras del Pueblo,\u00bb led by President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the Government of Mexico, through the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":31745,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"no","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_2797015450629271_1620882911490106":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[{"account":"facebook_2797015450629271_1620882911490106","service":"facebook","timestamp":1761336229,"status":"success"}],"rop_publish_now_status":"done","footnotes":""},"categories":[2,21],"tags":[88,885,743,386,389,15,22,862,458,955,443,956,71,312,957,954,390],"class_list":["post-31744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-federal-government","category-legislators","tag-amlo","tag-claudia-sheinbaum-pardo","tag-delfina-gomez-alvarez","tag-en-vivo","tag-enterate","tag-gobierno-de-mexico","tag-gobierno-del-estado-de-mexico","tag-luisa-maria-alcalde-lujan","tag-mexico-news-tv","tag-secretara-de-salud","tag-secretaria-de-bienestar","tag-secretaria-de-comunicaciones-y-transportes","tag-secretaria-de-cultura","tag-secretaria-de-educacion","tag-secretaria-de-la-mujer","tag-ultimahora","tag-ultimas-noticias"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31744","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=31744"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31744\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31746,"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31744\/revisions\/31746"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/31745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=31744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=31744"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=31744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
