This is equal to 13% of the total budget .[3]13% is commonly assigned to the main television companies linked with the Mexican President's political party. The CONADE director Alfredo Castillo Cervantez was also director of the police in Estado de Mexico when Enrique Peña Nieto was governor of that state. Since the early stages as director of CONADE, Castillo has had a strategy of cutting funding and making organizations return some of the money already spent.[4] Despite this, some other federations, such as the Amateur Boxing Federation, had to ask their participants to ask for money on the streets.[5]
