suffering a violent war between
gangs and a deep crisis
economic
the Juarenses lived locked in
houses and subdivisions lattices
streets were empty
thousands of companies were closing their
doors in the maquiladora had
lost more than 80,000 jobs
the rest only worked in three or
four days
as you will remember our
community was devastated
That same summer I was with my
friends mario sergio pedro in an acquaintance
local restaurant
we had decided not to lock ourselves up so
that every afternoon
We used to go out for coffee after a few
business that were open
We were regularly the only table
it was clear those who were not
locked up they had left the city
we started to question that this does not
could continue so we had to
do something for our city
the blood quota they were paying
our young people told them my
friends that a local merchant very
successful
I had commented that this
circumstance had already happened
previously in our city and that
had been in the times of the
Mexican Revolution
then it was suggested at the table that
let’s investigate in the history of
our population as they had resolved
the situation our ancestors for
the following meetings
we had a lot of information we
we find very historical data
important things that would help us
resolve our circumstance
we learned first that the city
It was founded in the new Spain in 1659
with the name of the mission of guadeloupe
the tame Indians of the northern pass and
that united new Hispanic priests and
indigenous people developed the abi
culture and livestock trade
already since then it was only
local
this because of the closed economic policy
of the new Spain that maintained its
rigidity in customs
however it was a and a good time in
the one that the brave river overflowed
watering with the humus of the mountains
Rocky rock ark lands step
from the north leaving the fertile and of very
high quality so in a short time
they started producing excellent wines
and better brandeis these wines of these
big
the expeditionaries traveling from san
Luis missouri and heading to the center of
new spain wore this one they wore
towards the north and in this way
it generated a small trade
international with the war between
united states and mexico
in 1847 half of the half of the
territory of the newly created nation
Mexican became American
so one good day we woke up like
border and with it the concepts of
beginning and end of the fatherland
the border not me no 1 and the concept of
the binational external factors had
modified our reality and they had
changed our circumstance of a
day for another had been destroyed
our way of life as it is
they built dams in the new
American territory leaving with
very little water from the bravo river so
the new border was very bad
conditions since it was reduced
noticeably its population
born franklin siri as sister city
on the American side
the local merchants united propose
for the first time the free zone and the
President Benito Juarez decrees it in
1858 recognizing the difficulty for
there was a complete economy and the
service that would provide the passage of
north as the port of entry and exit of
Mexico
quickly began to grow
local economy but again a
international event modified our
circumstance
this time the French army
invades the country and in a short time control
at customs , terminating the
free zone years later the
entrepreneurs once again come back to
work proposing the free zone in
this occasion to the porfirio president
diaz and this in turn decrees it by
second time in 1885 starting with it
an extraordinary economic development
confirming the natural vocation of
our region
this growth was such that the villa
he passed from the north he receives the dignity of
city since its population
quadrupled and in 1888 who is his
current name of Ciudad Juárez is this
in recognition of President Juarez
that he had established with a great
view the free zone by the complaints of
the neighboring city of franklin siri ante
their representatives and that of avoids and the
weakening of don Porfirio Díaz
this cancels the successful free zone
a decade later and again
factors external to our reality
modified our circumstance and the
newly named Juarez city suffers the
economic disaster and the loss of 75
percent of its population
for cristina and change her name to step
roof tiles
but our ancestors followed
struggling and again factors do not
attributable to the city changes our
circumstance but this time a little bit
please prohibit liquor in
united states and the great wars
detonated the business of
Entertainment entertainment and
of show business
Whiskey factories were also created
It would be fair to say that we went
precursors of las vegas
this coupled with a finger error that
there was in state legislation that
allowed any foreigner to do
the citizen in 24 hours of everything that
it was called divorce tourism
these situations did not give a way of
circumstantial life a little strange and
creative for some decades
also the water treaty between
Mexico and the United States of 1915 did
resurface agriculture with cotton
for the 60s
it changes our economic life again
with the pin in order to the big
wars and pressures of france
the correction of adaptation and
france the correction of the
state legislation
we are again in a severe
crisis the most prominent entrepreneurs
of the time they came together and made the
studies and proposed the presidents
dayz ordaz and echeverría a free zone
in transit which is what we know today
like the maquiladora this decree
maquiladora next to pronap is the
national program of borders and
items hooks made us
we recover little by little and it’s the model
from which we live so far in 2009 we
alerted about the risks of living only
of salaries that we attract externally
via maquiladora
for this reason and to provide better and
different opportunities to our
young people is that we take up the initiative
of the natural vocation of
our city the zone free zone
free that we want to add to our
current model should not only be are the
free in transit like the maquiladora or
only for companies but it should
be open to the entire population
juarense so that with it to be able
promote the development of vocations
of our young people protect their right
to the economic development that each
person who so decides may believe
can bring forgiveness any part of the
world
the machinery the equipment or the merchandise
what it requires for its development
economic
this without paying taxes at customs
by importing with it we would be
giving positive opinions to our
young people to work to give
Unleash your creativity
just as important would you believe
an organization that administers part of the
resources generated by the free zone for
the gross and social infrastructure that
so much urges our city this in
recognition of the service we provide
to mexico as a gateway and
exit of people and goods and that
therefore our infrastructure
suffers from overheating
I want to invite all Juarenses and
any citizen to check each one
your historical heritage can start
from a coffee table as friends
first to improve ourselves by giving
to others and then improve the
circumstance of our cities
in this way we will all be working
in our free zone that I was going to play is
the most fabulous and beautiful border of
world
[Applause]
