The meeting in the Treasury Room, which lasted more hours, was attended by other businessmen, in addition to Slim, and Francisco Cervantes, president of the Business Coordinating Council, Daniel Chávez (Vidanta), Antonio Cosío (owner of the Plaza de Toros México and the Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium), Alejandro Soberón (founder of Ocesa).
Slim explained that it was a good meeting. “Everything about Acapulco and everyone working” for its recovery and “getting back to what it was.”
He indicated that there are extraordinary investments, without specifying amounts, beyond the payment of insurance companies, but he highlighted that the government “is working hard to restructure roads, the water problems that flooded several places, etc. “He is doing a very good job in solving all those infrastructure problems.”
In his case, he indicated that he completely “refreshed” his hotel (Calinda), which now has a new name, Amares, in addition to the fact that, after the emergency, “we are in the stage of fixing many schools, homes and we are also working on health ”.
For example, he said, we did 13 fumigations and we are going for a fourth.
He mentioned that in the face of climate change, at the meeting they talked about the importance of reinforcing and changing “everything that is necessary, not only there, but throughout the country to prevent every time a high-magnitude hurricane comes, it does not affect so much the population or the existing infrastructure.”
Regarding security in the port, he commented that “the Secretary of Security (Omar García Harfuch) is doing the necessary things and there will be a permanent presence of national guards, etc. “It is part of a whole process that is being done to make Acapulco what it has been historically.”
Towards the end of the year, he maintained that there will be more life in Acapulco, more hotels, condominiums, which is being greatly helped by the payment made by the insurance companies, but “obviously everything will not be finished by the end of the year, but next year Everything that is necessary will be done.”
He did not want to mention any percentage of progress, because the impact of Acapulco, he recalled, has already been going on for a year, because after Otis, John arrived and “the reconstruction was delayed again,” because “there were many floods and you have already seen that in Europe The same thing is happening, everywhere in the world. So everything is being prepared for the future.”
-How do you see the panorama of Mexico, now that Trump is going to enter?
Very good, because we are very complementary. Remember that there is an economic issue in which Mexico is favored, because Mexico is complementary to the United States, to Canada and surely many of the imports made in the United States will have to come from Mexico.
In turn, Francisco Cervantes highlighted the important investments that businessmen like Slim make in Acapulco. “There is a government-private initiative commitment to go for a new Acapulco.”
He noted that the meeting with the president, in addition to the governor of Guerrero, Evelyn Salgado, and the mayor of Acapulco, Abelina López, was attended by more than half of the federal cabinet.
The Secretary of Economy, for his part, highlighted that the person responsible, on the part of the government, for achieving the recovery of Acapulco, is the Undersecretary of Tourism, Sebastián Ramírez, but “many agencies participate, and the president is going to inform you in advance. detail”.
-How did you see Ken Salazar’s statements?
The president already said.
-Will you be looking for a job with Trump?
I don’t think so.
