He recognized that it was not easy, since he had all the odds against him, however, he believes that God has something significant for him.
“Tell them that we are back, thank God. I must admit that it was not easy, we had very difficult days; Having everything against such a disease is not easy (…) However, I believe that God has predestined me for something important, because here we are, ”he said.
He assured that during his recovery, he never stopped working for Mazatlán, and that proof of this are the 50 works that have already been completed and will soon be inaugurated. These works are part of the 255 new works package that will be delivered this year.
