Sheinbaum reaches goal of 56 thousand 500 credits for women entrepreneurs in Michoacán

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that her administration has met its target of distributing 56,500 interest-free loans through the Financiera para el Bienestar (FINABIEN) to women entrepreneurs in Michoacán. The initiative, part of the 'Michoacán Plan for Peace and Justice,' aims to strengthen women's economic autonomy by providing capital for starting or expanding businesses. During a ceremony in Apatzingán, where the final batch of 551 loans was handed out, Sheinbaum emphasized that these 'credit on trust' mechanisms reflect the Fourth Transformation’s principle of recognizing citizens' capabilities. Separately, Israel Vega Rodriguez, acting head of the Michoacán Attorney General's Office, stated that the investigation into the assassination of Uruapan Mayor Carlos Manzo does not currently indicate involvement by specific political figures such as Raul Moron, Ignacio Campos, or Leonel Godoy. He further noted that, nearly a year after the incident, there is no immediate legal necessity to seize the phone of current mayor Grecia Quiroz, though he affirmed that all parties retain the right to provide information at any time.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced her administration met its target of distributing 56,500 interest-free loans to women entrepreneurs in Michoacán. This achievement concludes the distribution phase under the Michoacan Plan for Peace and Justice. The funds originate from the Welfare Finance Company, known as FINABIEN. During a ceremony in Apatzingan, officials handed over 551 final financing packages. These specific grants completed the total commitment for the state. Sheinbaum stated the program aims to strengthen women’s economic autonomy. She explained that the loans allow recipients to start or expand businesses. The president described the mechanism as a credit based on trust, requiring no interest payments. She emphasized that this approach recognizes the population’s capacity to develop productive projects. According to the president, trusting individuals’ word is a core principle of the Fourth Transformation government. She noted that more than 50,000 women have received these financial supports throughout the cycle. In related developments concerning the region, Israel Vega Rodriguez, acting head of the Michoacán Attorney General’s Office, addressed questions regarding the murder of Uruapan Mayor Carlos Manzo. Vega stated that investigations show no link between the killing and political actors. He specifically denied involvement by politicians Raul Moron, Ignacio Campos, and Leonel Godoy. The official added that nearly one year after the incident, investigators do not currently require access to Mayor Grecia Quiroz’s phone records. He clarified that legal procedures must be exhausted before such devices can be seized. Meanwhile, Grecia Quiroz unveiled a bust honoring her late husband, Carlos Manzo Rodriguez. The unveiling took place during the commemoration of the 161st anniversary of the Martyrs of Uruapan. Local officials accompanied the mayor at the event held in Michoacan. The memorial serves to mark the time since Manzo’s assassination. Sources indicate the investigation into his death continues without identified political connections. The loan program and the memorial events highlight ongoing governmental activities within the state. Both initiatives focus on supporting local communities and addressing recent historical tragedies. The completion of the loan distribution marks a specific milestone in the regional peace plan.
