Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo reiterated her commitment to representing the people in the Judiciary during her visit to Villa de Zaragoza, in San Luis Potosí.
In a call to citizens, Sheinbaum urged those who meet the requirements to apply for the next election of judges, magistrates and ministers, scheduled for June 1, 2025.
“It is essential that the people of Mexico have a voice in the Judiciary to combat corruption and privileges,” Sheinbaum stressed, highlighting that a Court with many “Benitos Juárez” is sought, in reference to the leader who symbolizes justice and equity.
The event took place at the presentation of the Women’s Welfare Pension, a new support that will be a reality in 2025 and that has already begun its registration throughout the country.
Priority Projects for San Luis Potosí
Sheinbaum also took the opportunity to announce a series of key projects that the federal government will carry out in coordination with the state of San Luis Potosí.
These include the construction of the Zaragoza-Río Verde highway, new dams to improve the supply of drinking water, and the extension of the passenger train that will connect Mexico City with Nuevo Laredo, passing through San Luis Potosí.
The president noted that these projects are part of the so-called “second floor” of the Fourth Transformation, which seeks to consolidate social programs and new initiatives that positively impact communities.
In this context, Sheinbaum reiterated the continuity of existing programs such as the Pension for Older Adults and Sembrando Vida, and announced the start of three other supports: the Women’s Well-being Pension, the universal scholarship “Rita Cetina Gutiérrez” and the Health House by House program.
