The dignitary recently explained that the cycle of meetings was based on the objective of achieving in the shortest possible time, "to overcome the difficult situation that the country is experiencing as part of this economic and social crisis that we had already foreseen that we had to face since the times of Covid-19, and towards which the world was going to evolve".

He added that the main issues analyzed were food production, the energy issue, services to the population, the fight against crime and phenomena such as corruption.
