Michoacán Governor claims political interests drive Morebús protests
Michoacán Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla has accused political actors and prospective candidates of exploiting public protests against the Morebús mobility project for political gain. The protests center on environmental concerns regarding vegetation removal in the Tres Puentes area.
Ramírez Bedolla stated that while the administration respects citizen demonstrations, the project has complied with all legal and environmental regulations. To address community concerns, the government has ordered the recovery and potential transplanting of vegetation, reporting that 110 plants have already been recovered. He also mandated that any necessary tree removal must be conducted under the supervision of the Michoacán State Forestry Commission (COFOM).
The Governor defended the project, asserting that the Morebús will provide significant ecological benefits by reducing pollutant emissions in the region.
