Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the institutional discourse of the Ministry of Culture of theMexicanFederal Government regarding the presidential project:Chapultepec Park Cultural Complex. Nature and Culture, in Mexico City, and its position of decentralization in relation to the budget allocated to carry it out, in order to evidence the inconsistencies in its approach and exercise. Through a documentary analysis, it has been detected that said governmental dependency, in the 2018-2024 period, has insisted that such project complies with that stance due to the impact it will have on the rest of the country, through the implementation of calls, circuits and tours. This document shows how, even with the long lists of attention to citizens and employment or support to creators, it contributes to the high concentration of cultural infrastructure in Mexico City, as well as to a disproportionate budget allocation for its development, whose tangible results have been frequently postponed.
