Cancún Mayor Ana Paty Peralta Delivers Second Government Report

Cancún Mayor Ana Paty Peralta presides over the Fifth Solemn Session of the Benito Juárez City Council

Cancún, Quintana Roo — Mayor Ana Paty Peralta formally presented her Second Government Report to the Benito Juárez City Council during the body’s Fifth Solemn Session, outlining the state of the municipal administration for 2024-2027.

The document reports public works spending of more than 2.3 billion pesos, the largest in the municipality’s history, along with initiatives on security, crime prevention and peace building.

“The results we deliver today come from a great collective effort,” Peralta said during the session. “We built this report from the people behind every project and every program: Stories that Transform. Because transforming Cancún goes far beyond building infrastructure or hitting targets — it is about those results improving the lives of the people of Cancún.”

Session Attended by State Officials

The session took place at the official “Sala 20 de abril” venue and drew representatives of the three branches of state government: Reyna Valdivia Arceo Rosado, secretary of anti-corruption and good government, for the state administration; Deputy Jimena Lasa Aguilar for the 18th Legislature of the Quintana Roo Congress; and Magistrate Raúl Galán Muedano for the Superior Court of Justice. Verónica Lezama Espinosa, honorary president of DIF Quintana Roo, also attended.

Officials said the report fulfills Article 90, section XL, of the Law of Municipalities of Quintana Roo.

After thanking council members for their commitment and for agreements that put the collective interest above individual benefit, Peralta noted that one year remains in her administration. She announced she will deliver a Message to the People at 6 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 21, at the City Theater, followed by nine accountability meetings across neighborhoods in the municipality.

Public Works, Mobility and Transit

Speaking after the flag ceremony, the mayor highlighted several achievements included in the report:

  • Public works investment exceeding 2.3 billion pesos.
  • Safe walkways and crossings to improve mobility and accessibility.
  • A public transit renewal strategy through the Mobility System for the Wellbeing of the People of Quintana Roo (MOBI), which has launched its first route, Route 27 Puente Nichupté.
  • Twelve neighborhoods fully urbanized through complete infrastructure upgrades.

Peralta added that the participatory budget rose from 33 million pesos to 60 million pesos this year, and that 100 million pesos have been approved for 2027.

Security and Social Programs

On security, the report cites the development of a better-trained, better-equipped and more community-oriented police force, as well as the creation of peace committees.

On the social front, it points to the “Pasos para la Transformación” program, which has distributed more than 359,000 pairs of sneakers; the creation of five municipal artistic talent companies; and support for older adults, women and people with disabilities.
