Day 705 — Sheinbaum Closes 10-State Report Tour in Monterrey and Saltillo, Touts Saltillo-Nuevo Laredo Train

On September 6, 2026 (Day 705, Sunday), President Sheinbaum concluded the four-day, ten-state leg of her Second Government Report tour — which began September 3 in Morelos and Durango and passed through Zacatecas, San Luis Potosí, Aguascalientes, Colima, Jalisco and Nayarit — with stops in Nuevo León and Coahuila. At 10:30 AM she addressed a crowd of more than 10,000 at the Explanada de los Héroes in Monterrey alongside Governor Samuel García, highlighting health, infrastructure, housing and welfare gains in the state and announcing that construction on the Saltillo-Nuevo Laredo passenger rail line — a 396-kilometer project passing through Monterrey, already 3% complete — would receive its formal groundbreaking ("banderazo") in the coming days. At 1:15 PM in Saltillo, Coahuila's Parque Las Maravillas, she detailed a 985-kilometer rail corridor (3% built on the Saltillo-Nuevo Laredo segment), the Saltillo-Monclova highway modernization (158 km, 24% complete), the binational Puerto Verde logistics complex, and a 558-bed regional IMSS hospital under construction (10% complete) alongside new family-medicine units.
