When presenting the National Security Strategy, President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo asserted that the war against drug trafficking undertaken by Felipe Calderón will not return. That’s the most important thing. We are not looking for extrajudicial executions, which was what was happening. What are we going to use? Prevention, attention to the causes, intelligence and presence.

The Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Omar García Harfuch, maintained that as part of the four axes of the strategy, investigation and intelligence will be strengthened to confront organized crime. Likewise, in the entities with the highest crime incidence (Guanajuato, Baja California, Chihuahua, Jalisco, Guerrero and Sinaloa) We have generated an intervention strategy to combat high-impact crimes.

At a conference, Sheinbaum Pardo announced that García Harfuch and the Secretary of National Defense, Ricardo Trevilla, would travel to Sinaloa to supervise the actions of the federal government to contain the outbreak of violence – whose origin he identified in the United States agreement with one of the groups to transfer Ismael May Zambada to his territory, about which he did not elaborate, and meet with the governor of the entity, Ruben Rocha Moya.

She reported that as part of greater coordination with the states, the Secretary of the Interior, Rosa Icela Rodríguez, will support her in the link with the government of Guanajuato, which continues to be the most violent entity and where there is the greatest drug consumption among young people. With the support of the Welfare and Labor Secretariats, social policy actions will be designed to prevent youth from joining criminal gangs.

The causes will be addressed, because León, Incredibly, it is the municipality with the highest number of poor people in the country; Guanajuato is the state where the average salary is less than the minimum wage. Evidently there is a development model that failed.

García Harfuch reported that in the security policy, regional diagnoses are prepared with a intelligent focused strategy that contemplates a program to address extortion and collection of fees, in addition to the deployment of special units that will complete arrest warrants at points of greatest incidence. This will imply greater coordination with state prosecutors’ offices because 80 percent of the crimes are common law.

The strategy prioritizes prevention over reaction to crime, so using intelligence and more advanced technological resources to analyze data, identify patterns and understand the dynamics in the areas with the highest incidence is how we can develop more effective strategies to combat organizations. criminals.

To increase intelligence actions, the Undersecretary of Intelligence and Police Investigation will be created in the Ministry of Security, which will have the capabilities and technological tools to identify criminal networks.

Sheinbaum highlighted that in the field of intelligence and investigation, it will be further strengthened, creating the national system. Today (yesterday) we are going to sign the initiative to send it to Congress so that there is coordination of the security systems of the Defense, the Navy, the National Guard and the Secretariat of Citizen Security itself.

Another axis of the strategy is the consolidation of the National Guard, which García Harfuch defined as an institutional federal police “with a training, professionalization and qualification scheme defined by a military doctrine, under strict regulation that guarantees respect for the human rights with military discipline. It is false that there is militarization, what we are doing is taking advantage of the capabilities of the Sedena so that – no matter the time – the National Guard can be consolidated.”

He pointed out that with 133 thousand elements, the National Guard is the only corporation that can offer security to families in many municipalities.

Mexico City. After celebrating that the Senate ratified Juan Ramón de la Fuente as Secretary of Foreign Affairs, whom she considered a man “with a lot of experience and knowledge,” President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo affirmed that the current ambassadors remain, and some of them, she said , must be ratified.

In particular, he mentioned that Asín Moctezuma will continue as diplomatic representative of Mexico in the United States, and Quirino Ordaz in Spain, a country with which, he said, relations are not broken, although – he maintained – there is still no formal response to the letter he sent. former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador to King Felipe VI, to apologize for the wrongs committed in the Conquest.

In her press conference at the National Palace, the president mentioned that Juan Ramón de la Fuente “is going to make a great chancellor” and will meet with the ambassadors, except with those of those countries with which there are no relations, such as Ecuador.

“There are relations with Spain, there is no suspension. There is a commercial and tourist relationship; cultural relations; many Spaniards live in Mexico…”

He indicated that not having invited the King of Spain to his inauguration has to do with the fact that they did not respond to the letter that López Obrador cordially sent for an apology, and they did not respond “as should be the case in diplomatic relations. “They didn’t answer.”

Instead, he questioned, they leaked the letter and then a statement came out in a media outlet from the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

He accused that it was a “disparagement” for his predecessor. “It wasn’t López Obrador, it was the president of Mexico to whom they made that contempt. And so far there is no formal response, only in the media, about what opinion they have about this.”

The president questioned that a Vox representative said that “they came to civilize the tribes in Mexico,” when “the conquest was a violent act. Let’s just talk about the Cholula and Templo Mayor massacres. Obviously they are not the Spaniards of today, but a recognition that there were things that were not right allows us to reconstruct the past.”

That, he maintained, would strengthen the relationship with Spain. “The relationship is not broken at all,” and he said that the ambassador in that country holds meetings.
