News and events we are watching today.

A search for missing people and new questions about municipal spending led Puerto Vallarta’s public agenda for Friday, November 6, 2026.

  • Search for missing people today: Una Luz para Nuestros Desaparecidos Puerto Vallarta plans field searches and distribution of missing-person notices on November 6. Families are seeking information that could help locate people still missing in the region.
  • Disputed incident at COMUDE: Councilor Melissa Madero says she was assaulted Thursday while seeking payroll and revenue records at the municipal sports agency. Circulating security footage has added to the dispute; the available video does not establish a definitive account of what happened.
  • Tourism funding pressure: Local hotel and business leaders are pressing Congress to earmark federal money for promotion in the 2027 budget. Their Thursday appeal seeks to redirect the unallocated portion of foreign-visitor fee revenue toward tourism.
  • City Hall renovation costs: Mayor Luis Munguía says furnishing his downtown office will begin in January 2027 after a renovation stretching over two years. He disputes allegations about expensive purchases, leaving the final cost and procurement records central to the debate.
  • Electoral council applications are open: Eligible residents interested in helping organize Jalisco’s 2026–27 elections can apply online through the IEPC. The district-council deadline is November 16; municipal-council applications remain open until March 15, 2027.
