Conflict grows over pension crisis at the ISSSTE of Zacatecas; disincorporation of the Parador Hotel sparks protests

The article reports on growing conflict over pension fund crises at the Zacatecas State Institute of Social Security for State Workers (ISSSTEZAC). The state congress approved the divestment of the Parador Hotel, valued at 364.3 million pesos, to settle a debt of 315 million pesos. This decision was made during a session marked by protests and chaos, with 15 votes in favor (Morena and PVEM) and 14 against (opposition). Critics argue this action constitutes a theft of workers' assets and fails to address the deeper financial crisis. Opposition lawmakers questioned the timing, especially before an upcoming election, and noted the initiative lacked public consultation. Leaders of worker groups plan to take legal action, asserting that ISSSTEZAC's assets belong to retirees, not the government. Governor David Monreal Ávila defended the move as temporary relief, warning that the institution is nearing collapse. The ISSSTEZAC has acknowledged its financial vulnerability, citing an actuarial report predicting capital depletion by 2034.
