00:00And the government of Mexico announces a justice plan for the miners of the city of Cananea following the end of more than 18 years of strike.
00:09The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, added that Grupo Mexico agreed to carry out remediation works in response to the contamination of the Sonora River.
00:19The head of state indicated that a support plan accepted by the workers will be announced in order to lift the strike that has been in place since 2007.
00:28The Mexican president emphasized that this justice plan benefits all workers in Cananea, noting that this Tuesday all the projects to address the damage caused to the Sonora River will be presented.
00:45A very important agreement has been reached for the Cananea justice plan.
00:49After years of strikes, the workers of the Cananea have decided to end the strike through compensation support for all workers.
00:58This is a historic moment for Sonora.
01:05At the same time, tomorrow in Sonora, I can tell you in advance, there will be an announcement about all the compensation work for the contamination
01:13of the Sonora River, after the Mexico group did not want to finish all the work that was necessary, and the secretary Rosicel has been very important in her work and that of the governor and secretary Alicia Bárcenas, because tomorrow it will be announced that practically all demands made by the community will be met.
01:42In this scenario, Mexican president Claudia Sheinman also explained that they worked with the governors of Northern Mexico to fulfill the 1994 Water Payment Agreement with the United States.
01:54We worked with all the governors and sought a plan to minimize the impact on farmers throughout the country, particularly in the states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nueva LeĂłn, and Tamaulipas.
02:08We then sought to obtain water from other basins to address the water debt. Everyone agreed, and this will allow us to minimize the impact.
02:25There is practically no impact on farmers in Northern Mexico. I believe it was a good agreement.
02:39On the other hand, the Mexican president affirmed that regardless of the political party, the federal government has always provided support to Cuba in the oil sector.
02:51It's important to be known that agreements have been made on the subject of oil by all governments regardless of their political party because otherwise it could be seen as if we were the only one.
03:07First, we are doing it within a legal framework as a sovereign country, and second, we are just continuing a series of support that our country has historically given to Cuba.
03:24In 1994, during the special period in Cuba, a $350 million investment was formalized for the modernization of the Cienfuegos refinery, a strategic swap operation exchanging debt for investors.
