“Do you know who approved that Mitikah Tower project? Your new advisor, Marcelo Ebrard“On those dates those projects were authorized, so maybe you have to go ask him for advice,” said the standard-bearer for the PAN-PRI-PRD parties.

This statement was a response to his opponent, Clara Brugadafrom the Let's Keep Making History coalition, who released the real estate cartel issueaccusing Taboada of allowing alleged contracts, as head of the Benito Juárez delegation, and favoring certain works, including the aforementioned Mitikah Tower.

“In Benito Juárez, 264 illegal corruption apartments that involve 23 million liters of water, that is what the Real Estate Cartel steals from CDMX,” said Brugada.
