I'm having trouble understanding all the text below - but in particular, the final clause:
Los actores, entre ellos, el gobierno actual considera que el espacio privilegiado de participación son las 1352 unidades territoriales en las cuales se encuentra dividido el Distrito Federal para en ellas edificar un nuevo nivel de gobierno: el de los vecinos organizados en su unidad territorial.
Many thanks
