In addition, the direct delivery in southern Mexico of permits issued by the US government, as well as employment options for those who stay in our country, care in shelters or support if they decide to return to their places of origin. We also raised the importance of ending the blockades on Cuba and Venezuela, since they generate suffering for the people and increase migration. During the talk we pointed out that the migrant caravan will not arrive at our northern border because we apply the care strategy in Mexico. The president-elect spoke to me about the humanitarian crisis that the United States is experiencing due to fentanyl consumption; he was interested in the campaign implemented by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Regarding security, we emphasize the importance of collaborating. In Mexico, we are moving forward with the integration of the development hub in the south of the country, particularly on the border with Guatemala, a fundamental action for the well-being of inhabitants and ensuring options for those who arrive in search of employment. In 2025, we will begin the construction of more than three thousand kilometers of railroad tracks for passenger service. The first phase corresponds to four routes, totaling 786 kilometers: AIFA-Pachuca, Mexico-Querétaro, Saltillo-Nuevo Laredo and Querétaro-Irapuato. Military engineers are making progress in integrating the cargo service for the main cities that the Mayan Train runs through, in order to streamline the movement of goods in the Yucatan Peninsula. Next year, construction of this infrastructure begins in Cancún, Progreso, Poxilá and Palenque. We will invest 157 billion pesos in 2025 for all train projects. The Ministry of National Defense is rehabilitating 17 sections of federal highways affected during the construction of the Mayan Train. With the Bachetón program, the Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation has repaired more than 11 thousand potholes, this is equivalent to 1,912 kilometers of federal highways. In the “Women in History” section, we highlight the journalist, writer, educator and ideologist Dolores Jiménez y Muro; Her contribution during the revolutionary movement included proposals and activism to improve the living conditions of the population and indigenous communities, support for the anti-reelection struggle and for women's equality. Dolores Jiménez participated in the Zapatista movement as a spy, arms smuggler and confidential agent of Emiliano Zapata himself.
