Federal legislators from Nuevo León will seek to include resources for key state projects in the Budget, such as the Mexico-Laredo Train. Despite the limited representation of Nuevo León legislators in Congress, deputies from the PRI, PAN, and 4T requested funds for their mayors ahead of the meeting with Treasurer Carlos Garza.
Deputy Raúl Lozano Caballero was appointed as the liaison between the different benches and the Executive to promote proposals that will allow for obtaining more resources in the Union Congress. In addition to the Mexico-Laredo Train, they aim to secure funding for the Interserrana highway and the Road Infrastructure Fund.
During a meeting at the Palacio de Cantera, the governor of Nuevo León, Samuel García Sepúlveda, met with federal deputies from all parties. Although there were no disagreements, there was concern over the state’s financial crisis. In contrast to local meetings, the idea of focusing on specific areas of common interest prevailed in this meeting to fight for an effective allocation of funds.
In the words of the deputy, the importance lies in concentrating efforts on two or three specific topics where the majority of legislators converge, leveraging their position on the Budget Committee to advocate for a greater allocation of resources.
