Saltillo mayor expands youth, welfare, and civic initiatives

Entities: Javier Díaz González · Saltillo · Saltillo Municipality · San Lorenzo arroyo · Farmacias del Ahorro

Overview

In early July, Mayor Javier Díaz González launched a suite of youth‑focused programs, creating the Consejo Ciudadano Juvenil, a municipal youth award, and the "Fiesta Segura" safety campaign. The first Interprepas tournament drew about 700 high‑school students competing in football, singing, dance and a spelling bee, with a 45,000‑peso prize pool. A model United Nations forum (TuMUNicipio) involved roughly 100 young leaders, while municipal workshops on sexual health reached more than 1,500 students and provided sports equipment and exam‑preparation courses. Díaz also served as padrino for the Generation 159 graduation at the Ateneo Fuente. Two weeks later, neighborhood groups presented a dossier of seven urban‑development priorities, calling for dialogue with the municipal government. By late July, the mayor reinforced animal‑welfare measures after the rescue of a dog named Rocky, expanding the Unit for Special Care of Sentient Beings, the Citizen Council for Animal Welfare, and adoption capacity at Parque Urdiñola. He chaired the approval of the second‑quarter 2026 DIF activity report, which documented medical aid for over 1,500 residents, the launch of an Intergenerational Center, and senior‑citizen cultural events. He also oversaw new financial‑management reports, land‑use adjustments, and a proposal to improve safety for women in nighttime venues, and announced a ceremony for the 2026 Saltillo Prize as part of the city’s 449th anniversary. On July 27‑28, the "Aquí Andamos" initiative was intensified: crews deep‑cleaned the San Lorenzo arroyo to reduce flood risk, repaired pavement on the El Sarape distributor, pruned vegetation along major avenues, repainted containment barriers on Bulevar Fundadores, refreshed curb‑side markings, and cleaned sidewalks and green strips, all with Governor Manolo Jiménez’s backing. Residents were urged to use the "Saltillo Fácil" virtual line for service requests.
