The mayor of San Miguel de Allende, Mauricio Trejo Pureco, rather than being in favor or against a supposed modification to the Apaseo el Grande-Irapuato intercity train project proposed by the Federal Government, said that the possibility of its passage through San Miguel could affect the heritage city’s qualities.
All megaprojects need a parallel strategy and assess the risks, especially in areas where migrants pass through, because “any major project like the train could increase crime.”
He said he can’t be against or against it if he’s not familiar with the project. Many factors would be at stake if he isn’t familiar with this modification, such as tourism capacity and security, although it would also generate jobs.
He compared a case like that of Tulum, where after the train arrived, “no one goes there today,” people went for conservation, but now that modernity has arrived, people no longer want to go.”
