On behalf of the businessmen of Nuevo Leon, we express our rejection of the state authorities' announcement to close those companies that do not provide private transportation to their workers. announcement to close those companies that do not provide private transportation to their workers. The measure proposed by the government is beyond the logistical, operational and financial reach of a large number of small and medium-sized companies, which, in such a situation, would be at risk of closing The measure proposed by the state government is beyond the logistical, operational and financial reach of a large number of SMEs, which, in such a situation, would be at risk of closure and, consequently, would result in the loss of more jobs.

We consider it unfeasible to try to force the companies to comply with something that is materially impossible and, above all, to try to transfer to the companies the State's responsibility to provide a transportation service. above all, to try to transfer to the companies the responsibility that the State has to provide an efficient and safe public transportation service to the citizens. efficient and safe public transport service to the citizens.

It is important to remember that public transportation is a right guaranteed by the Constitution of Nuevo Leon, which in its Third Article states: "Every person has the right to mobility, to enjoy sustainable cities that ensure Article Three states: "Every person has the right to mobility, to enjoy sustainable cities that guarantee an adequate quality of life and to have access to quality, dignified and efficient public transportation. adequate quality of life and to have access to quality, dignified and efficient public transportation.

We emphasize that the business sector has responded decisively to the authority's call by implementing the corresponding sanitary protocols, as well as by supporting workers to prevent the the implementation of the corresponding sanitary protocols, as well as the support to workers to avoid contagions. contagion. We expect the same response from the State Government, providing efficient and quality public transportation, as has happened in other countries to contain the pandemic and maintain economic activity.

In the same sense, Nuevo Leon's businessmen have maintained the payment of taxes in this complicated period of zero federal and state income, resources that should be dedicated to the health and transportation sectors. of zero revenues, both federal and state, resources that should be dedicated to the health sector and public transportation. transportation. The State Government should reconsider its claim for more resources for more transportation inspectors and dedicate them to hospitals, personnel and public transportation. and dedicate it to hospitals, health personnel and more public transportation units.

We believe that this is an improvised measure without legal, technical and economic support, which seeks to transfer to the companies a responsibility inherent to the state government. a responsibility inherent to the state government. We are in the best disposition to help contain the pandemic, but with reasonable measures that involve the participation of all sectors. the pandemic, but with reasonable measures that involve the participation of all sectors.
