“In Mexico City it is not really a fundamental problem, as it is in other states of the Republic,” he said at a press conference, after signing a collaboration agreement with automotive associations from the entry into force of the sanction for vehicles with foreign license plates in Mexico City.
Guillermo Rosales Zárate, president of the Mexican Association of Motor Vehicle Distributors, asked the president of the capital not to support the regularization of these vehicles, since Mexico would become “the automotive dump of the United States.”
“Ask the head of government that Mexico City not join the claim of governors who, at a point of apparent social benefit, are requiring President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to be included in the benefits of the decree that promotes the regularization of used vehicles,” he said.
Rosales Zárate added: “We cannot aspire to turn our country into the automotive dump of the United States and that is why we also call on the head of government to lead the efforts.”
The representative of vehicle distributors pointed out that Mexico City represents 16% of new vehicle sales nationwide and urged the reconstruction of the Public Vehicle Registry (Repuve), which he now described as an “inoperative shell.”
