translated from Spanish: Urge PRD Michoacán, reactivate program of Magical peoples

Morelia Michoacan.-The State Executive Committee (CEE), of the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), asked the Government of the Republic to maintain the program of magical peoples.
The President of the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) in Michoacán, Antonio Soto Sánchez, said that tourism is one of the activities that contribute most to the state gross domestic product (KID), with 17%, and at the national level contributes 11% to Gross domestic product (GDP).
The Local congressman shared that in Michoacán are eight magical towns: Pátzcuaro, Tzintzuntzan, Santa Clara del Cobre, Tacámbaro, Tlalpujahua, Angangueo, Cuitzeo and Jiquilpan, which in the last year allocated 50 million pesos.
Abounded that, this resource was multiplied with contributions from the State and the municipalities themselves and applied in tourism infrastructure actions, improvement and image works, training and technology transfer.
Soto Sánchez regretted that the Government of the Republic has decided to cancel the tourism promotion programs, including related to the magical towns, so, he called for reconsideration of the permanence of the scheme.
He said that at the national level through the Senate of the Republic, local and federal deputies, as well as municipal presidents, have made a call to the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP) and the Ministry of Tourism to reactivate the program of Magical villages.
Finally, the Michoacán politician explained that tourism is a source of jobs, direct and indirect, economic and foreign exchange, so it is necessary to promote public policies that contribute to its strengthening.
