Morning press conference from the National Palace. Thursday, November 21, 2024 President Claudia Sheinbaum. 00:00 Start of broadcast 14:38 Press conference begins 16:03 National Water Plan 41:41 Question and answer session 1:46:20 Women in history Water is not a commodity, it is a right and belongs to the nation. That is one of the essences of the National Water Plan 2024-2030 and consists of: Organizing the concessions; water that is not used will be returned. Dialogue with industrialists and irrigation districts through Conagua is making positive progress. Efficiency in agricultural irrigation through technical development to be more productive in the field and save water for other uses. Master plan for drinking water infrastructure; the federal government, states and municipalities collaborate in order to invest resources together. In addition, 16 strategic water projects in the country to supply water to the areas of greatest need. Finally, sanitation of bodies of water such as the Atoyac, Lerma-Santiago and Tula rivers. One of the first actions is the upcoming signing of the National Agreement for the Human Right to Water and Sustainability. We will demonstrate the great value of Mexican migrants to the United States economy: their first-class work, the resources they contribute in taxes and the need for their workforce. Therefore, they should not be deported and we do not agree that they should be treated as criminals; that is what justice institutions are for. We are prepared; we have a plan and we are moving forward on the issues of the bilateral relationship that we will address at the time with the new government of President-elect Donald Trump: trade, migration, security or culture. Both the United States and Canada receive great benefits from the T-MEC, not just Mexico. There are several reasons to maintain this agreement, which will be reviewed by the three countries in 2026. At the same time, Mexico has its own program to strengthen the national economy, which includes reducing imports, consolidating food self-sufficiency, among others. The governments of the Fourth Transformation are working to improve public education with a humanistic vision and more spaces for young people to access higher education. Education is a right, not a privilege or a commodity. In addition to the National Technological Institute of Mexico (TecNM), the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) and public universities, we are advancing in a different educational project: We are working to expand the “Benito Juárez García” Universities for Well-Being. This is a consolidated system. The “Rosario Castellanos” National University will soon be up and running, which since its inception in Mexico City has enrolled 60 thousand students, who previously had no options in higher education. The University of Health (Unisa) also opens with two campuses: Chiapas and Baja California, which are added to those in Mexico City. This month we commemorate the beginning of the Mexican Revolution. In the section “Women in History” we highlight pioneers who fought against the Porfirian regime such as Elisa Acuña, Juana Belén Gutiérrez; the sisters Carmen and Natalia Serdán; Guadalupe and Rosa Narváez; Paulina Maraver, Elena Arizmendi and Rosa Bobadilla. Thousands of brave women, anonymous and well-known, supported the revolutionary movement as ideologues, journalists, propagandists, adelitas, soldaderas, teachers, combatants, nurses and feminists.
