In Puebla, Mexico, the state government delivered 42 modernized transport units – buses, vans and taxis – worth 11.7 million pesos, and provided 13,364 food baskets to 3,341 vulnerable families through the SEDIF program. Tlaxcala added a supplemental 59 million‑peso budget for infrastructure, housing, education and a new water well slated for 2027. Meanwhile, local authorities in Colombia and Argentina disclosed multi‑million‑peso projects to upgrade rural schools and renovate historic educational facilities, with investments of 796 million Colombian pesos in Manizales and over 849 million Argentine pesos to modernize the Julio A.
