Key Organizations Collaborate to Promote Economic Social Development
In the context of the National Cooperatives Day 2025 observance, the Mexican Lotería Nacional, the National Institute for Social Economy (INAES), and the Ministry of Culture came together to unveil a special commemorative bill for Sorteo Mayor No. 3979, highlighting the importance of cooperatives in fostering sustainable development, equity, and social cohesion.
Prominent Figures Emphasize the Role of Cooperatives
Catalina Monreal, General Director of INAES, stated, “Our President’s vision is that social economy should serve the people.

Olivia Salomón, General Director of Lotería Nacional, echoed this sentiment, saying, “According to the UN’s 2025 theme, ‘Cooperatives build a better world,’ this bill serves as a consciousness-raising tool, promoting community, shared effort, and organized hope while showcasing those who believe in collective work for better lives.”
Los Pinos as a Hub for Social Economy Development
Marina Núñez Bespalova, Subsecretary of Cultural Development at the Ministry of Culture, highlighted Los Pinos’ role as a center for social economy training and support.
