“Candelaria has something that makes me vibrate, I think I inherited it from my father who talked so much about this people so brave, with so much strength and vigor that does not give up, maybe I heard many stories, here I came to make my first campaign, the first act of struggle in 97. I believe that Candelaria is a town of destiny, with this collection center I am sure that this is the best time, this is the best moment for the municipality”, said the governor before the families of that town.

Afterwards, she delivered 15 compact milking machines with electric motors at a unit price of 50,000 pesos each to Irasema Cazarín Reyes, a beneficiary from Salinas de Gortari; Bulmaro Chan de la Cruz, a beneficiary from the community of La Esmeralda, in the municipality of Candelaria; and Norma Hernández Trujillo, from Nueva Nueva Nueva Esmeralda, in the municipality of Candelaria; Norma Hernández Trujillo, from Nueva Chontalpa, municipality of Carmen; in addition, checks for milk collection, membership cards for the Milk Supply Program, and scholarships for the “Jóvenes Sembrando el Futuro” Program were awarded.
