Migrant Resources are Lost (El Sol de Tijuana, 11/5/12 by Carolina Vargas)
León, Guanajuato - Due to a lack of interest by the Municipal Government to allocate resources to the Migrants 3 x 1 Program, the last administration has not benefited from 15 million pesos ($1150 US) that could have been used to perform a variety of work in rural communities.
Thus denounced the PRI Alderman, Aurelio Martínez Velásquez, who said it was detected by the Commission on Rural Development that there was lack of will by the last administration for this work.
He explained the program called 3 x 1, is a federal migrant works program with input from the Federal, State and Municipal Governments, where each contribute a portion. Migrants then, through associations or groups who are registered at consulates of United States that also provide a contribution.
"In total each who would contribute 25 percent of the program and migrants request this resource to support their rural communities in areas that they believe they lack and is necessary. These projects must be validated by the 3 X 1 program at the federal level. Once approved by the project each contributes the money they have committed", he explained. However, he said that this year, this resource not be could obtained due to municipal unwillingness.
"This year we could have a benefit of around 15 million pesos ($1150 US) in the communities because the town did not want to make a contribution. We are talking about 4 million pesos ($307 US) contributed by the municipality, they were unwilling to contribute and therefore these works will not be carried out in the communities", he lamented.
Aurelio Martínez noted, “As the municipality did not want to make a budget adjustment at the time, resources never arrived and the programs were not carried out. This information is based on information we on the Committee on Rural Development have that the outgoing mayor had no interest in supporting the field. Had no interest," he said. http://www.oem.com.mx/elsoldetijuana/notas/n2759012.htm
