| Brownsville Mayor -Tony Martinez |
Lamentablemente debido a la INSEGURIDAD QUE HAY EN TAMAULIPAS El presidente (Mayor) de Brownsville TONY MARTINEZ cancelò la tradicional ceremonia de ciudades hermanas BROWNSVILLE-MATAMOROS
ESTA SITUACION PONE DE MANIFIESTO UNA VEZ MAS LA SARTA DE MENTIRAS QUE EL GOBIERNO DE EGIDIO TORRE CANTU Y SU SRIO DE SEGURIDAD PUBLICA ARTURO GTZ PROPAGAN POR LOS MEDIOS DE COMUNICACION
La cancelación de esta ceremonia binacional se produjo en medio de mensajes contradictorios acerca de la seguridad en México.
La advertencia de viaje del Departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos para México recomienda a los estadounidenses a aplazar los viajes no esenciales a Tamaulipas.
‘‘Los conflictos violentos entre elementos criminales rivales y/o los militares mexicanos puede ocurrir en todas partes de la región y en todo momento del día’’, según la advertencia de viaje, que fue actualizado el 24 de diciembre pasado.
‘‘El número de secuestros de Tamaulipas se encuentra entre las más altas de México, y el número de ciudadanos de Estados Unidos informando a los consulados en Matamoros y Nuevo Laredo sobre estos incidentes en 2014 también ha aumentado’’
¡¡NUNCA EN LA HISTORIA SE HABIA CANCELADO LA FESTIVIDAD DE CIUDADES HERMANAS BROWNSVILLE-MATAMOROS!!
EGIDIO TORRE CANTÙ "LOGRÒ QUE ESTADOS UNIDOS SE LA CANCELARA "
Brownsville, Matamoros cancela la ceremonia de ciudad hermana
Publicado el 17 de Marzo del 2015
Por la inseguridad que se vive en la frontera norte, se canceló la
ceremonia que marcaría el inicio de la hermandad entre Brownsville y
Matamoros.
El alcalde de la ciudad estadounidense, Tony Martinez, dijo que “me
acaban de avisar que, por la inseguridad, tendríamos que posponer el
evento para otra fecha”.
Sin embargo no se sabe la nueva fecha que se destinó, o destinará, para la ceremonia.
Esta suspensión viene en el marco del aviso que hizo el Departamento
de Estado estadounidense en donde advertía a sus ciudadanos a no
visitar Tamaulipas a menos de que fuera esencial.
El alcalde agregó que este tipo de acuerdos son benéficos para la región, y que espera que se pueda realizar pronto.

Brownsville, Matamoros cancel sister city ceremony
Posted: 03.16.2015 at 9:17 PM
Concerned about security, Brownsville and Matamoros have canceled a sister city ceremony scheduled for Tuesday.
“It was just relayed to me that — due to security — that we would have to set another date for it," said Brownsville Mayor Tony Martinez.
Matamoros city officials declined to comment.
It wasn’t immediately clear when they would hold the make-up ceremony.
The cancellation occurred amid mixed messages about safety in Mexico.
The U.S. State Department travel warning for Mexico advises Americans to defer all non-essential travel to Tamaulipas.
“Violent conflicts between rival criminal elements and/or the Mexican military can occur in all parts of the region and at all times of the day,” according to the travel warning, which was last updated on Dec. 24. “The number of reported kidnappings for Tamaulipas is among the highest in Mexico, and the number of U.S. citizens reported to the consulates in Matamoros and Nuevo Laredo as being kidnapped, abducted, or disappearing involuntarily in 2014 has also increased.”
Winter Texas and other tourists, though, still routinely visit Nuevo Progreso. Maquiladora managers make the daily cross-border commute from McAllen to Reynosa. And thousands make uneventful trips across the border every day to visit family, shop and work.
“I have my mom, my brothers and my family over there,” said Brownsville resident Efrain Castillo, who added later: “In Mexico there is crime, but there are also a lot of good people.”
The Tamaulipas state government even encouraged tourists to take another look at northern Mexico’s tourist destinations — including fishing near Falcon Dam, a hotspot for narcotics smuggling.
Martinez said sister city agreements and other cross-border partnerships boost the local economy. Harlingen inked a similar sister city agreement with Matamoros in December.
“I think it’s imperative that … we make sure that we set up a type of environment that conducive to economic growth,” Martinez said.
