The peso was reaffirmed yesterday as a solid currency. We are a strong nation; there will be dialogue and a good relationship with the new United States government. We report on the call with the president-elect of the neighboring country, Donald Trump, to congratulate him on his victory in the recent elections. We will address the issues on the bilateral agenda at the time. We started Bachetón on the entire federal highway network of the country; we will serve more than 44 thousand kilometers with the support of more than a thousand workers between November 2024 and February 2025. In December, we began repaving 631 kilometers with more than 1,400 workers; These actions conclude in April. The Ministry of National Defense (Sedena) is working on 890 kilometers of road maintenance in six states in southeastern Mexico, after the passage of machinery through infrastructure works in the region; the work continues until next May. With the support of higher education institutions, the new Ministry of Science, Humanities, Technology and Innovation is leading the project for a compact, affordable and safe vehicle, suitable for urban areas. This allows us to develop the potential of Mexicans, boost our own industry and strengthen the country's sovereignty. We want to produce more patents with the broad participation of young people to enhance national development. The decrease in homicides recorded in Zacatecas since 2021 is very important, which went from almost five a day to less than two. It is the result of the federal strategy coordinated with the state government, which includes everything from addressing the causes to intelligence and investigation actions. In the Women in History section, we highlight the contributions of Nellie Campobello from Durango as a dancer, teacher, choreographer, director and researcher; He stood out for narrating the revolutionary epic with women in leading roles. Today we commemorate Railroad Workers' Day, instituted in 1935 by President Lázaro Cárdenas to honor railroad workers and remember the Sonoran Hero of Nacozari.
