Santa Lucía del Camino is facing a lien on a property that houses the Basic Rehabilitation Unit and a vital well for several neighborhoods, due to a debt exceeding 10 million pesos. The municipal president, Juan Carlos García Márquez, accused former mayor Galdino Huerta Escudero of incurring this million-peso debt without the authorization of the city council or the local congress. The conflict originated in 2015 with a promissory note for 5 million pesos in favor of a company, which led to a lawsuit in 2015. After being notified in 2016, a municipal plot was placed under lien in 2016. Currently, the municipality is seeking legislative support to void the lien, arguing that the decree supporting the debt does not exist.
