She indicated that work is being done from the municipal strategy to achieve self-sufficiency by utilizing the resources of each territory.

Regarding electric mobility, she argued that there is a nationwide program for the installation of fast-charging stations, and the first stage for 24 stations will be presented, which will allow electric vehicles to access the provinces and tourist hubs.
