Security meeting. Four governors met here yesterday. The Governor of Baja California, María del Pilar Ávila; the one from Baja California Sur, Víctor Castro; the one from Sonora, Alfonso Durazo, and who participated as host for Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya. The governor of Nayarit did not attend. What did they treat? In reality, it is not known, because the meeting took place in the military installations of the Third Military Region and the media did not have access. This meeting is known because it brings together those responsible for security in five states neighboring ours. And yesterday was the Second Regional Security Coordination Meeting of the Sea of Cortez Region. The five entities share common interests in many areas. And they are also affected, like many others in the country, by organized crime. The operators of the security programs in each of these entities attended the meeting. Those who have in their hands to implement operations against crime. The thorny issue of the fight against violence is what makes these kinds of meetings private and generally in military barracks. But no matter how much interest state leaders have in fighting criminals, federal policy permeates offering “hugs, not bullets.” Crime has “kidnapped” entire regions of the states. The governors know it. Those responsible for security programs as well. The Army, Navy and state police, the same. But nobody. Absolutely no one does anything to deal with crime and guarantee the safety of citizens.
To the young Secretary of Health they “chamaqueado” him. Melesio Cuen, former Secretary of Health, referred to the discovery of drugs in warehouses that were already expired. For Cuen, the current head of Health, Cuitláhuac González, was “chamaqueado”. He dropped the note without having the full information of what he was saying. And he explained that normally, pharmaceutical companies collect the “remaining” drugs and destroy them. He confirmed that the State Government does not buy medicines. The one who buys is the Federal Government through Insabi. The State pays him and Insabi, when he can or wants to, sends the medicine he wants. The State has many warehouses and perhaps in one of them that expired drug was found. And not because they did not want to distribute, but because the distribution to clinics and hospitals is carried out according to the petitions they make. “What I don’t understand is that he was doing that medicine there,” Cuen said. Because it should have been collected and destroyed as required by procedure. “If there had been any irregularity in that, do you think I would have kept quiet?” Finding those drugs in storage seemed like a good note to the Secretary of Health, and so, without checking, he made it known to the governor. “But this one (the governor) should have already realized it,” Cuen said.
The Secretary of the City Council of Mazatlan, Édgar González is calm, but not confident. The Arhe business group withdrew a lawsuit it filed against him. But two are still pending. One of them is sensitive by nature, which is “harassment”, presented by an employee of the same business group.
