The Governor of Tabasco, Javier May Rodríguez, challenged critics of the Villahermosa 2030 project to protest in the areas where resources from the sale of state properties will be invested.
The Governor of Tabasco, Javier May Rodríguez, issued a direct challenge to opponents of the Villahermosa 2030 project and the sale of state properties. During his press conference, the leader invited them to demonstrate in the areas where the resources obtained from the sales will be allocated, rather than just in the capital.
A challenge to 'pseudo-environmentalists'
May Rodríguez labelled his critics as 'pseudo-environmentalists' and claimed that there is a social media campaign driven by alleged bot farms to discredit the project. "We apologise for the inconveniences caused by the transformation, but they will not return in a short time," stated the governor, who promised to expose those responsible for the digital campaign.
The leader detailed that the investments will include the construction of roads in the C-41, works in Balancán, as well as drainage, streets, schools and hospitals. He also mentioned the creation of the University of Health and the Rosario Castellanos University, inviting opponents to demonstrate in those locations if they are against it.
Villahermosa 2030: a controversial project
The Villahermosa 2030 project aims to transform the capital of Tabasco through the sale of state properties, the resources of which will be reinvested in infrastructure and services. However, it has generated opposition among environmental groups and citizens who criticise the lack of transparency and the potential ecological impact.
According to the governor, the opposition is due to a orchestrated campaign from social media, and not to a genuine disagreement with the benefits of the project. "All they have is a campaign on social media, a bot farm that we will show you in a few days how it operates," warned May Rodríguez.
What does it mean for the people of Tabasco?
For the citizens of Tabasco, the project promises improvements in basic infrastructure and education, but it also generates uncertainty about the fate of the sold properties and the transparency of the process. The governor insists that the works will benefit the most needy communities, such as those in Balancán and the C-41.
Looking ahead, the state government is expected to publish detailed reports on the sales and investments, as well as the results of the investigation into the bot farms. Meanwhile, the debate between development and the environment remains open in Tabasco.
