Jorge Briz, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Guatemala (CCG), urged that mobility and infrastructure projects be prioritized as state policies. In an interview with Prensa Libre Radio, Briz explained that initiatives such as the MetroRiel and the Metropolitan Ring require state-level commitment to guarantee their continuity and successful development.

Briz stressed that these projects are crucial for the country's progress and should not be subject to the political changes of different administrations. He believes that making them state policies would ensure consistent funding and strategic planning, regardless of who is in power.

The CCG president's call highlights a broader concern about the long-term viability of major infrastructure investments in Guatemala. Ensuring these projects are seen as national priorities, rather than partisan endeavors, is key to their successful implementation and their potential to transform urban mobility and connectivity.
