Tamaulipas governor urges unity behind Claudia Sheinbaum, defends national sovereignty

Tamaulipas Governor Américo Villarreal has called on the state's residents to rally behind President Claudia Sheinbaum, warning that Mexico is navigating a complex period influenced by significant geopolitical and geoeconomic interests. He stressed the critical need to safeguard national sovereignty, asserting that Mexico's fundamental decisions must remain in the hands of its people, free from external subordination.

"We are living in a juncture of great geopolitical and geoeconomic interests, but we also have the historical responsibility to preserve for future generations a sovereign, free, and independent homeland, capable of deciding its own destiny," Villarreal stated during his program 'Diálogos con Américo.' He underscored that these decisions should be guided by the democratic mandate of the people.

The governor highlighted the progress of President Sheinbaum's "humanist" national project, asserting that despite initial resistance, it has solidified in Tamaulipas over the past two years. He pointed to advancements in education, health, social protection, economic development, mobility, and social peace, attributing these gains to an efficient government. "Today we have more well-being, more infrastructure, more opportunities, and more social justice. We are building a stronger Tamaulipas within a sovereign, free, and independent Mexico," he added.

Villarreal also defended the social rights enshrined in the Constitution and secondary laws by "transformation governments," despite opposition from parties representing neoliberal models. He argued that these rights, once consolidated, cannot be revoked and must be protected by citizens. He expressed concern about the potential cancellation of social programs like Bancos del Bienestar by a future government with a different ideology.
