PRD Unveils 10-Point Plan to Address Water Crisis in Edomex

The Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) in the State of Mexico has presented a 10-point action plan aimed at addressing the state’s worsening water crisis through technical, budgetary, and social measures. The proposal, introduced by Omar Ortega Álvarez, coordinator of the PRD’s parliamentary group in the local Congress, seeks to guarantee equitable access to water and strengthen long-term management.

Ortega Álvarez said the “Ten-Point Plan for the Rescue of Water in the State of Mexico” outlines a roadmap focused on rehabilitating and modernizing water networks, reducing real losses, improving budget oversight, and ensuring the efficient operation of treatment plants. The plan also calls for citizen participation in resource monitoring and the implementation of transparency mechanisms.

“You cannot speak of development, health, or social justice without first guaranteeing equitable access to water. This plan represents the PRD’s commitment to the people and to a sustainable future for the State of Mexico,” Ortega Álvarez said.

The legislator emphasized that temporary solutions are insufficient to confront the challenges the state faces, arguing that water management must be supported by public policies combining investment, planning, and accountability. “Water must be a priority in state and municipal budgets, with technical and social criteria that ensure its availability and sustainable management,” he said.

Arturo Piña García, president of the PRD in the State of Mexico, reinforced the party’s position, stating that environmental and water justice remain central to its agenda. “Water is life—it is environmental and social justice. From our institution, we promote policies that put people and environmental care at the center,” Piña said.

He added that the 10-point plan reflects the PRD’s vision for a sustainable State of Mexico, supported by transparent and responsible governance in the face of the ongoing water emergency.
