President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, committed to listening to the residents of San José Chiapa who have expressed their dissatisfaction with the construction of the Circular Economy Park, assuring that the project will be a sustainable alternative to the pollution problems in Puebla. During the delivery of 240 homes as part of the 'Housing for Well-being' Program, a group of residents interrupted the presidential speech to express their concern about the environmental impact and possible damage to land ownership. Faced with this situation, the federal head of state asked for order to conclude her message and subsequently address the demands of the protesters, in order to delve deeper into the details of the project. 'There will be no expropriations,' assures To calm the concerns, Sheinbaum emphasized that the Circular Economy Park will not imply land dispossession, as the recycling plant will be installed on a plot donated by the state. She also emphasized that the federal government's objective is not to affect the communities, but to modernize waste treatment in the entity through cleaner technological processes. 'Do you prefer an open-air landfill or a clean waste recycler? Don't let them fool you, it is a project that we will consensus with the communities,' she expressed. In turn, the governor of Puebla, Alejandro Armenta, backed the initiative by stating that it represents a historical debt with the region, which has faced delays during previous administrations. The state head highlighted that the Development Pole in San José Chiapa will prioritize the hiring of local labor, above external interests, and assured that the project has the corresponding legal authorizations. Federal dialogue opens At the end of the event, Sheinbaum approached the protesters and proposed establishing dialogue tables with members of the federal cabinet, with the aim of listening to their demands and explaining the benefits of the project. 'I ask you to listen to what we have to say and we also have to listen, and that way we will reach agreements,' she stated.
