“It seems to me, I say it, sincerely inexplicable that in Washington, the Capitol, the approval of the 4,000 million dollars that they offered to invest for the well-being of the Central American countries has been so delayed, even when President (Joseph) Biden and Vice President (Kamala Harris) have been making arrangements for that, ”he mentioned in a message after the private meeting.
He admitted that the situation is different from war. “These are different issues, it should not be compared to a table, but 30,000 million dollars have already been approved to support the war in Ukraine, and we have spent 4 years since President Donald Trump was proposing that it be supported with 4,000 million dollars and even today there is nothing, absolutely nothing,” he said.
“That is why we are going to continue to respectfully insist on the need for the collaboration of the United States,” said the president, because “with international cooperation we will be able to put an end to the painful phenomenon of migration that causes a lot of pain and death.”
The best relationships “in decades”
In his message, he detailed the social programs that his government applies in Mexico, and partially in Guatemala: Sembrando Vida and Jovenes Construyendo el Futuro, this with the aim that “criminal gangs will run out of young people to recruit and that people they will be able to live in their places of origin without migrating and social peace will be a reality”.
The Sowing Life program, which is already being applied in Guatemala, and the Youth Building the Future program were welcomed by President Giammattei.
In a special and “very profound” way, he thanked the Special Commission for Latin America (CEPAL) for promoting the Agreement for Integral Development that unites Mexico with El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, which is the only country that has developed projects , a total of 22, which will begin in the coming months in the border area with Mexico.
