The current government should make smart decisions and show political determination to lead the country into a new prosperous phase. It is crucial that it focuses on the southern border of Mexico, implementing public policies that turn the region into a special development area. Security and incentives for private investment, both national and international, are fundamental in this process.
Amid unexpected challenges, it is essential to address urgent issues such as insecurity, judicial reform, water scarcity, energy generation, migration, and the situation at the southern border. If these matters are not properly addressed, conflicts may arise that jeopardize important economic and commercial opportunities for Mexico today.
The president must prioritize the resolution of these delicate and urgent issues. Insecurity poses a threat to governance and political stability, undermining authority. It is essential to build political agreements and democratic consensus to avoid greater conflicts and ensure that authorities take their responsibility in protecting citizens.
Recent episodes of violence in several states of the country reflect the fragility of national security policy and generate fear and insecurity among the population. A change in direction is needed to restore the rule of law, credibility, and Mexicans' trust in government institutions.
Effective implementation of the Free Trade Agreement between Mexico, the United States, and Canada can be key to reactivating the Mexican economy. Geographic proximity to northern neighbors offers opportunities that must be leveraged. The challenge of addressing the political and social disintegration of the country must become a central theme in the national debate, avoiding distractions that may lead to a negative outcome instead of progress.
