Puebla Governor Alejandro Armenta Mier Announces Health, Security, Housing and Tourism Initiatives
Governor Alejandro Armenta Mier used a statewide health day to announce that schools that missed the "la escuela es nuestra" program will receive resources through a community‑work scheme, adding ultrasound, colposcopy and other services for families. He also said a qualitative 600‑day report will be presented on 6 August, covering security, agriculture, health, education and infrastructure progress.
The governor backed the federal security strategy, witnessing the swearing‑in of Brigadier General Juan Ramón Corona Valencia as interim state coordinator of the National Guard in Puebla, effective 1 August 2026. He reaffirmed a housing programme for security personnel, aiming to raise the projected INFONAVIT allocation from 45 000 to as many as 70 000 homes and announcing new land parcels for construction.
Puebla will host the Tianguis Turístico México 2027 from 9‑12 March, featuring a community‑tourism pavilion and a public “Ventana a México” showcase in San Pedro Cholula. The state also unveiled a comprehensive development plan for the Izta‑Popo region, proposing new roads, a cable‑car, a tourism‑security centre and environmental projects.
Additional local actions included a municipal paint donation to improve a kindergarten in San Bartolomé Coscomaya and a meeting with Senator Ignacio Mier Velazco to coordinate federal‑state policies across Puebla’s 217 municipalities.
