Following the receipt of his credentials in Guadalajara last week, Puerto Vallarta's new Mayor-elect, Ramón Guerrero, whose Citizens' Movement party won the recent municipal elections, stated that the win was due to the community being fed up with the obvious lack of so much, worsened over the last nine years of consecutive PRI governments.

Guerrero said that his administration will make the City's budget public and consider the citizens' input as to the application of the resources.

With regard to the municipal debt left by Salvador González' administration, he said that "we will go forward together, to see how we can rescue Puerto Vallarta from oblivion and return confidence to its citizens. As a society and government, we will review the adverse financial scheme..."

The 1.8 Billion Peso debt represents 60% of Guerrero's municipal administration budget for 2013.

The Mayor-elect added that he intends to maintain close contact with the private and other sectors so that the metropolitan zone of Puerto Vallarta and Bahía de Banderas will function with one and the same goal.

He also pointed out that just like all the council members, directors and top level civil servants, he would receive 20% less than their counterparts did in González' term in office.
