Rosario, Sin., Just one month after the capture and transfer of Ismael The May Zambada and Joaquín Guzmán López, who stirred up these lands and strained relations with the United States, the presidential tour was a new boost for Governor Rubén Rocha Moya. Even though neither President Andrés Manuel López Obrador nor his successor, Claudia Sheinbaum, referred to drug traffickers, they were explicit in their support for Rocha.

We will continue to support Sinaloa, because Rubén Rocha has already had three years with the president. Now he will have three years with the president, and we will continue to collaborate in everything that Sinaloa requires.said Sheinbaum, after guaranteeing, once again, the continuity of the transformation at the national level.

As part of his long speech, in which he highlighted the priority that has been given to Sinaloa in hydraulic infrastructure and support for producers, smiling and happy about the imminent arrival of Sheinbaum to the Presidency, López Obrador made his position explicit in front of the state leader: The governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha, has our full support. And we are going to return, as I told you, we are going to be visiting Sinaloa for the last time, in my case, at the end of September, we are going to return.. It will then be when Zambada’s appearances before the American justice system will begin.

With such support, the governor’s turbulent week was turned upside down with the new scenario that emerged after the first revelations made by the Attorney General’s Office about its investigations into the Zambada case.

As far as it goes

Histrionic as he is, from the beginning of the inauguration ceremony of the Picacho irrigation district, Rocha boasted, happy to welcome López Obrador and Sheinbaum. He laughed, he boasted of his closeness to both, he showed off in front of his people, who carried banners with legends like With Rocha to the limit.

He encouraged the visitors to cheer and even mentioned a version that, he said, was circulating: Someone says that the governor brought them. No, they came alone, of their own free will. They are comrades in the movement, but what makes us most proud is that they are our comrades in the movement. They are from the 4T.he said with particular emphasis.

This tour was part of the joint inaugurations carried out by López Obrador and Sheinbaum throughout the country and today it was the responsibility of the irrigation district linked to the Picacho dam. The technical explanation was given by the general director of the National Water Commission, Germán Martínez.

With a federal investment of 5,446 million pesos, he said, the Picachos dam irrigation zone includes 22,500 hectares, benefiting almost 3,200 producers. Thus, Sinaloa has 13 dams and eight irrigation districts.

Martinez stressed that this The effort is part of a comprehensive strategy by the President to strengthen Mexico’s agro-food independence and support Mexican agricultural producers. A strong countryside is essential to ensure that Mexico can feed its population with quality products..

In the final phase of his administration, the President appears very calm; faced with the heated cries of his supporters, he simply smiles and raises his hand.

He still has some sharp and ironic comments for his opponents: The businessmen have not done badly. Ask Coppel how things have gone, their stores are full because people have money to buy. He does not identify much with our way of thinking, we respect that, because in a democracy we do not all have to think the same, that is in a dictatorship. He is conservative and politically he has other positions, but he cannot say that things have gone badly for him; things have gone well, because when the cornfield is good, there is enough even for the bird..
