The administration of Governor Lorena Cuéllar Cisneros has implemented several institutional and social programs in Tlaxcala. The state established the State Secretariat for Women (SMET), a permanent framework designed to provide year-round specialized legal defense, shelters, and economic autonomy programs to support women and coordinate prevention efforts across 60 municipalities.

Further social initiatives include the ‘Empléate Tlaxcala’ 2026 program, which invested two million pesos to provide labor incorporation certificates to 215 beneficiaries to improve formal employment. In the health sector, the government allocated 3.8 million pesos for five 4x4 vehicles to enhance epidemiological surveillance and emergency response in various health jurisdictions and remote communities.
