The representative said “it is a covenant from my point of view, equitable even if it seems incredible. and we don’t want to give rise to a review for obvious reasons, so we have to comply with that treaty so that it is not grounds for any retaliation that harms our nation to our country. Already fulfilled the inhabitants of Nuevo León de Tamaulipas in the case of Chihuahua there is still a quantity of pending water that has to be moved, which has to be sent to comply with this agreement.
