MEXICO CITY—A plan by Mexican president-elect Andrés Manuel López Obrador would move the offices of as many as 31 government agencies, and their employees, out of the capital to different cities around the country.
The plan, which seeks to promote even development in different regions, could lead to an exodus of as many as 2.7 million government workers and their families from Mexico City by some estimates, though other, more conservative estimates put the figure lower.
