The Legislative and Judicial powers, as well as the autonomous entities saved 2,489.2 million pesos. In this regard, it is worth noting that the Judiciary contributed with savings of 1,310.2 million, which represented 52.6% of the total (the Federal Judicial Council participated with 1,065.3 million).
The federal government’s austerity program is based on article 61 of the Federal Budget and Fiscal Responsibility Law, which establishes the obligation of the executors to apply measures to contain spending for administrative and support activities.
These measures must be met without affecting the fulfillment of the goals of the social programs.
