Concordia, Chis. In the framework of the “historic” inauguration for the region of a cable-stayed bridge, which will connect Frailesca with Sierra Mariscal, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador expressed his hope that very soon this region will live up to its name. Close to the border with Guatemala, this area is shaken by violence arising from the dispute between two organized crime cartels.
“I want to tell them that I am keeping an eye on La Concordia. I have not liked what has happened lately. We are already intervening, we must uphold the name of La Concordia, we must follow the path of justice, peace and tranquility. Transform along the path of Concordia to achieve the unity of our people. As for the elderly, we must talk a lot with the young people, so that our families do not disintegrate, it is the main institution of social security.”
Accompanied by the virtual president-elect, Claudia Sheinbaum, the president highlighted the historical significance of the substantial reduction in travel time from Tuxtla Gutiérrez to the border. It is a 700-meter cable-stayed bridge, with an investment of 1,182 million pesos, according to the Secretary of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation, Jorge Núñez.
According to the agency, travel time in this area that crosses the Usumacinta River will be reduced from almost one hour to two minutes, due to this bridge. López Obrador promised to return to Chiapas, in the last days of his government, to inaugurate another 400-meter bridge, in Rizo de Oro, to complement the connection between the center and the south of the state.
Sheinbaum highlighted that in the past, governments planned public works based on cost-benefit, that is, how much will be invested and how many people will benefit. The difference in the López Obrador government is that now only social benefit is considered. In the logic of the past, the Justice Plan for the Yaqui people would not have been carried out.
The president made time to celebrate once again the arrival of the first female president of the Republic, something that has not happened in 500 years; 300 years of colonial times and 200 years of independent Mexico, so that people can understand what is happening. “We are living to tell the tale. She is the first female president of Mexico. Some people don’t like it because there is still machismo. They know that, even if the machinations don’t like it, women are more responsible and hard-working than men. And those who don’t like it can go to Palenque, Chiapas,” he said.
On the other hand, he celebrated that the Chamber of Deputies had begun the process of approving the various constitutional reforms that he sent to the chamber.
