Morelos Charts Binational Policy in First State-of-the-State Address; Fuerza Migrante Recognizes Transnational Vision

Cuernavaca, Morelos – February 15, 2026. As part of Governor Margarita González Saravia's First State-of-the-State Address, Fuerza Migrante recognized that Morelos is beginning to consolidate a binational vision as a structural part of its transformation project.

The motto presented during the address —"Putting the House in Order Is Transforming Morelos"— was not framed merely as an administrative slogan, but as a political statement aimed at reorganizing priorities, strengthening institutions, and projecting the state with its own identity in an increasingly interconnected national and international environment.

Fuerza Migrante's presence as an institutional guest reflected a formal dialogue between the state government and the Morelos community living abroad. The delegation was made up of Jaime Lucero, president; Avelino Meza, Secretary General; Penélope Picazo Hernández, U.S. coordinator of Hijos Ausentes de Cuautla; Melysa Vanessa Orozco González, of Casa Morelos; and Anayansi Salazar, Fuerza Migrante coordinator in Morelos.

The invitation was extended by Dr. Verónica Giles Chávez, director of the Office of Attention to Morelenses Abroad, consolidating a permanent channel of institutional coordination.

During this first year of government, groundwork has begun for a public policy with a genuinely transnational dimension. Beyond speeches, there is a clear intention to integrate the migrant community as part of the state's development rather than as a peripheral element.

The address highlighted strategic decisions that strengthen local identity and economy: securing the Denomination of Origin for Mezcal de Morelos; registering the Chinelos brand as cultural heritage; and the recognition of origin for cecina de Yecapixtla. These advances represent concrete tools for territorial development and international projection.

Coordination with the Federal Government was also emphasized to advance strategic infrastructure, universities, hospitals, the Convention Center, and the strengthening of the state airport, as part of a coordinated planning effort.

"Morelos is beginning to position itself as a national benchmark by demonstrating that it is possible to govern with an inclusive and practical vision, integrating all sectors of society," said Jaime Lucero, president of Fuerza Migrante. For his part, Avelino Meza noted that the process underway in the state sends a powerful message: building the Mexico that many migrants would want to return to—an orderly country, with identity, strong institutions, and real opportunities.

Fuerza Migrante reiterates its willingness to continue supporting efforts that strengthen binational governance and the state's comprehensive development.
