Washington.- The American newspaper The Wall Street Journal published a preview of the security strategy of the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, based on a presentation to which it had access.
According to the media, the President will use her first 100 days to try to reduce homicides and attack the control of organized crime in the country.
Sheinbaum will focus on the 10 deadliest cities in the country, which include Tijuana, Ciudad Juárez and Acapulco, according to the WSJ. Additionally, its efforts include combating fentanyl trafficking, a crisis that directly affects the United States. “In Sheinbaum’s presentation seen by the Journal, Mexico’s security forces would target 10 cities in five states, which alone account for one in four organized crime-related deaths,” the article says.
The points on which the plan focuses also include Colima, Guanajuato, Culiacán and Chiapas.
In addition, the strategy will seek to end extortion in the lemon industry in Michoacán. “The security plan foresees a greater role for the federal government, with its national security cabinet evaluating the state security chiefs appointed by the Governors,” says the WSJ. “The federal government would also establish national standards for Mexico’s 32 state police forces, state prosecutors and prison systems.” The newspaper article takes up several examples of the security crisis in Mexico, among them the murder of the Mayor of Chilpancingo Alejandro Arcos Catalán, beheaded on Sunday, barely a week after taking office. “Sheinbaum wants to replicate the success he had in Mexico City, where the number of homicides was reduced by half under his mandate,” says the article and refers to the work done with Omar García Harfuch. “US officials say they expect security cooperation to increase during Sheinbaum’s Presidency.” The security plan also includes the intensive use of intelligence to analyze the structure of criminal groups.
