AMLO presents Program for the Development of the Isthmus
By El Soberano | Tuesday, August 25, 2020

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador presented the Program for the Development of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.

The Isthmus of Tehuantepec is a region of historical commercial, social and cultural exchange, with its own identity and great productive and logistical potential. However, it is one of the regions with the greatest economic backwardness and social marginalization in our country, where six out of every 10 people live in conditions of poverty or extreme poverty.

Therefore, the purpose of the government of the Fourth Transformation is to promote the growth of the regional economy of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec with full respect for the history, culture and traditions in the search for inclusion, equitable distribution of benefits and well-being for the population.

The main components of the also known as the Isthmus Program are:

• Modernize infrastructure and ensure basic inputs for production so that the region is attractive to private investment;

• Improve the supply of housing and urban development, educational and public services in the communities;

• Strengthen and diversify economic activities and productive infrastructure, and

• Establish development links for well-being to encourage productive vocations and attract investment, integrate the logistics platform of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.

By this means, local producers will be able to reach other regions of the country and the world.

The modernization and interconnection of the ports of Salina Cruz and Coatzacoalcos and the Ferrocarril del Istmo will offer a competitive alternative in time and cost to world trade routes.

To support the most vulnerable population, federal and state programs will be directed to the region in a strategic manner, with which the Government of Mexico will improve the well-being of 2.4 million people in the 79 municipalities of Oaxaca and Veracruz that make up the Isthmus.

To achieve these objectives, the Federal Government has created alliances based on participatory democracy: it carried out the indigenous consultation with 21 community assemblies and follow-up meetings, with the attendance of 5,000 representatives of the 11 indigenous peoples and the Afro-Mexican people.

More than 100 public servants, the UN and the CNDH were present.

The proposals of the peoples were incorporated and the creation of the program was approved, the attention to more than 70 percent of the requests received has been managed and a commitment has been made that the dialogue will continue permanently.
