It recently signed the <strong>Inter-Institutional Coordination Agreement<\/strong> for the <strong>Comprehensive Protection of Journalists and Human Rights Defenders<\/strong> in the State of Mexico. This significant event, hosted in the historic City Council Hall, establishes the necessary groundwork to generate coordinated actions and assure a safe working environment for these vital professions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mayor <strong>Pedro Rodr\u00edguez Villegas<\/strong> strongly emphasised the indispensable nature of journalism in a healthy democratic society. He firmly stated that the essential work undertaken by communicators, which includes reporting on <strong>\u201cboth the good and the bad that governments sometimes do,\u201d<\/strong> must not in any way create risks for them or their families. <strong>Rodr\u00edguez Villegas<\/strong> underscored his administration\u2019s full commitment, assuring them: <strong>\u201cLet them know that we will always be vigilant to safeguard and protect their rights.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" src=\"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/atiza-2-300x199.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/atiza-2-300x199.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/atiza-2-1024x679.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/atiza-2-768x509.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/atiza-2-600x398.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/atiza-2.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mr Jes\u00fas George Zamora<\/strong>, the Legal Counsel for the State of Mexico and President of the Protection Mechanism\u2019s Governing Board, publicly recognised the exemplary and proactive stance taken by the Atizap\u00e1n government. <strong>Mr Zamora<\/strong> noted that by undertaking this action, the Mayor is effectively <strong>\u201csetting an example\u201d<\/strong> for other municipalities across the nation to follow. He further stressed that this critical combined effort directly benefits the pillars of democracy: <strong>freedom of expression and the defence of human rights.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new inter-institutional agreement is designed to implement necessary <strong>training and orientation programmes<\/strong> aimed specifically at the municipal public servants. These tailored programmes will focus heavily on establishing the <strong>protocols and best practices<\/strong> that should fundamentally govern all interactions with both journalists and human rights defenders. With this decisive measure, the local government aims to <strong>formalise its comprehensive commitment<\/strong> to safeguarding these essential civic roles within the territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>#M\u00e9xicoNewsTv<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MexicoNewsTv\/\"><strong>M\u00e9xico News tv<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"738\" src=\"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/atiza-1-1024x738.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31433\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#Atizap\u00e1nDeZaragoza, #StateOfMexico.- The Government of Atizap\u00e1n de Zaragoza, led by Mayor Pedro Rodr\u00edguez Villegas, has taken a resolute step towards<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":31433,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"no","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_2797015450629271_1620882911490106":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[{"account":"facebook_2797015450629271_1620882911490106","service":"facebook","timestamp":1759352778,"status":"success"}],"rop_publish_now_status":"done","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[961,885,743,865,951,386,97,389,15,22,860,526,962,874,864,757,385],"class_list":["post-31431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-municipalities","tag-anuar-azar-figueroa","tag-claudia-sheinbaum-pardo","tag-delfina-gomez-alvarez","tag-dif-atizapan-de-zaragoza","tag-el-mexiquense-vip","tag-en-vivo","tag-enrique-vargas-del-villar","tag-enterate","tag-gobierno-de-mexico","tag-gobierno-del-estado-de-mexico","tag-jorge-romero-herrera","tag-miguel-angel-zorro","tag-municipio-de-atizapan-de-zaragoza","tag-noticias-atizapan-de-zaragoza","tag-patricia-arevalo-rubio","tag-pedro-rodriguez-villegas","tag-ultima-hora"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=31431"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31431\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31434,"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31431\/revisions\/31434"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/31433"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=31431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=31431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mexiconews.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=31431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
