The Federation and the States coordinate to improve economic recovery
In a meeting between governors who are members of the National Conference of Governors (CONAGO) and the government of the Republic, represented by the Secretary of the Interior Olga Sánchez Cordero, Governor Carlos Mendoza Davis, who currently chairs CONAGO, expressed the need to establish agreements and uniting wills so that the return to economic activity occurs in the best conditions, "we ratify that the federation and states have a legal and moral obligation to work together, coordinated, particularly in difficult times such as the one our country is experiencing," he pointed out.
Mendoza Davis announced that in this meeting actions were agreed to carry out the best strategies that allow progress in the reactivation of economic activities in a phased manner, taking into account the epidemiological traffic light and the opinion of the governors on the situation of the pandemic in their respective states.
One of the consensus reached indicates that the Ministry of Health will send the federal entities, in writing, the indicators used for the construction of the COVID traffic light. The values of these indicators by state entity will also be sent weekly to the governors, who will be able to formulate the corresponding comments and observations.
Once the agreement between the federation and the states has been reached, the COVID traffic light will be made public and finally, as a fourth point, the Federation will issue a general provision with criteria that the states must apply to mitigate the pandemic.
For her part, the Secretary of the Interior Olga Sánchez Cordero considered the consensus reached in this virtual meeting to be valuable, since it coincided in the importance of strengthening coordination, communication and the taking of specific agreements such as those reached, for the gradual reactivation of the economic activities.
In this meeting 30 state leaders of the country participated, as well as the secretaries of Economy, Graciela Márquez Colín, of Health, Jorge Carlos Alcocer Varela, of Labor and Social Welfare, Luisa María Alcalde Luján, the undersecretary of Prevention and Promotion of Health, Hugo López-Gatell, as well as the directors of the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) Zoe Robledo Aburto, the Institute of Health for Welfare (INSABI), Juan Antonio Ferrer Aguilar and the Institute of Security and Social Services of State Workers (ISSSTE), Luis Antonio Ramírez Pineda.
