A Dawn of Hope for Mexican Families

Under the golden sky of Rincón de Romos, Aguascalientes, a historical moment unfolded before the eyes of an expectant nation. President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, with the solemnity of someone who forges destinies, gave the initial signal to the “Housing for Well-being” program, an epic that promises to build 7,450 homes in the entity, transforming dreams into bricks and hopes into cement.

The Right to a Roof: A Social Revolution

With words that resonated like a sacred oath, Sheinbaum declared: “Housing is no longer a business, it is a right!”. His voice, full of conviction, denounced decades of corruption in the housing sector, while proclaiming that, under his government, no Mexican family would be excluded again. “It is not a privilege, it is social justice,” he exclaimed, remembering that this right is already engraved in the Constitution as an irrevocable mandate.

Of these homes, 5,000 will be granted by Infonavit for workers, while 2,450, managed by Conavi, will benefit those who lack social security, with zero rate credits. A ray of light in the midst of the financial darkness that for years drowned the most vulnerable.

A Tsunami of Jobs and Hope

But this isn’t just about walls and ceilings. Sheinbaum revealed that, at the national level, the program will generate 600,000 direct jobs and almost 2 million indirect ones. “Each house built is three families fed,” he highlighted, painting a future where economic growth and social justice walk hand in hand.

In addition, in an act of financial redemption, 4 million unpayable credits from Infonavit will be frozen, including 73,000 in Aguascalientes. A forgiveness that comes like manna for those who carried the weight of impossible debts.

Secretary Edna Vega Rangel raised the stakes: the national goal jumped to 1.1 million homes, with 9.6 million jobs at stake. Meanwhile, in Aguascalientes, Governor Teresa Jiménez Esquivel detailed 16 projects underway, including 10,000 homes in the capital and developments in Cosío and Pabellón de Arteaga.

The director of Conavi, Rodrigo Chávez, sealed the commitment: 360 houses will begin today in Rincón de Romos, with 98 reserved for young people who study and work. A seed planted for future generations.

The United Kingdom government issued a travel alert for its citizens due to risks of crowds and robberies during the celebrations of the next Mexico vs England match. President Claudia Sheinbaum responded: “It is safe to visit the country, there is no problem.”

Measures after incidents in El Ángel

Last Tuesday, four people died during the celebrations for Mexico’s victory over Ecuador at the Angel of Independence. Sheinbaum explained that, in coordination with the capital government, actions will be implemented to avoid new mass concentrations.

“Based on what happened, the City government is taking measures to put up more screens throughout Reforma. This way people disperse and do not congregate in a single point,” he said at a conference.

Call to responsibility

Sheinbaum made a direct call to the fans: “Act responsibly, avoid excess alcohol. We appeal to the responsibility of everyone, both Mexicans and visitors.”

The president reported that she maintains contact with the head of government, Clara Brugada. “I personally spoke with her. They have done their job well and now take precautions to avoid dangerous crowds.”

Response to the British alert

Asked if her cabinet had already coordinated with the CDMX government before the next game, Sheinbaum responded: “We are in contact. It is difficult to contain a million people with police. The idea is to guide and prevent.”

He reiterated that traveling to Mexico is safe: “We have seen it throughout the World Cup. There is no problem.” The strategy focuses on dispersion of attendees and surveillance without repression.

The Morelos Attorney General’s Office activated protection measures in favor of Felicia Jiménez Lavie, who filed a complaint for family violence against her husband, Víctor Rodríguez Padilla, former director of Pemex. This was reported by prosecutor Fernando Blumenkron Escobar.

The measures, the official explained, will be available when the victim requires them. The complaint was filed in Mexico City and the Women’s Secretariat of the Government of Mexico directly follows up on the case.

Investigation in progress

Until now, Jiménez Lavie has not gone to the local Public Ministry to contribute more elements to the investigation folder. This was initiated ex officio last Friday, June 26, after a video was broadcast with images of attacks against the woman.

Blumenkron assured that the portfolio continues its integration. “The proceedings have not stopped and we are going to continue to guarantee justice for the victim,” he said. In addition, he indicated that there is coordination with the Women’s Secretariat and the capital’s Prosecutor’s Office, under the care route for victims of family violence.

Among the actions carried out, the Morelos Prosecutor’s Office seeks to locate the address where the physical assault occurred, to carry out expert reports in accordance with the images of the video broadcast by the victim herself.
