Puebla: on the radar Diego Martin Velazquez Caballero The appointment of the constitutional president of the United Mexican States, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, regarding the collaborators on the issue of security and governance that the substitute governor Salomón Céspedes decided to incorporate, is a sign that Puebla -the entity- no longer goes unnoticed by part of the Fourth Transformation.
