Carlos Torres Piña: 'I have no godfathers, I have a project'; seeks to coordinate the 4T in Michoacán

Carlos Torres Piña, an aspirant to lead the "Fourth Transformation" movement in Michoacán, declared he has no political godfathers but rather a project for the state. He asserted his readiness to consolidate peace and foster agro-export development, drawing on his background as a former prosecutor and government secretary.

"I don't have political godfathers. It was from this determination and this experience that I lived through these months, these years, that now with this call for applications from our national leadership to coordinate the committees in defense, we decided to participate after some evaluations with colleagues, with certain leaders, with the team and some other demographic consultations," Torres Piña stated. He expressed respect for Grecia Quiroz, the interim mayor of Uruapan and widow of Carlos Manzo, acknowledging her indirect victim status following the events in Uruapan.

Addressing the fairness of the internal process within the Morena party, Torres Piña emphasized the significance of territorial work and consistent presence in municipalities. He believes direct engagement with the public, beyond informational assemblies and door-to-door visits, serves as the primary measure of evaluation. "And whether there is a level playing field or not, I have not perceived that in the territory," he added.

Torres Piña outlined his proposals, prioritizing security and an ambitious agenda for the agricultural sector, focusing on both livestock and crop cultivation. He also plans to support small and medium-sized enterprises through fiscal incentives and credit systems. Regarding avocado export issues, he stressed the need to strengthen the fight against crime to prevent violence in production and packing zones, advocating for continued collaboration with U.S. authorities and an increased security presence.
