Irapuato, Gto.- The city of Irapuato has been listed among the most violent in the world due to the high rate of intentional homicides, and its government works with a “pirate” security planwhich collects fragments plagiarized of other plans, but without considering their methodologies or research.
so what evidenced the councilor of the Movement party Fernanda Martinez in City Council Session and in the media, before the security plan was approved by the council with 11 votes in favor and 4 against.
According to what was denounced by the councilor, the security program presented by the mayor’s government Lorraine Alfaro Garciaplagiarized at least 3 paragraphs of the Program of Bogota Security 2016, Colombia, a city to which he went a few months into his administration, on a work tour.
As an example of the lack of work of the program approved by the Irapuatense government, it can be considered that the program original Colombian consists of 129 pages and the one of Irapuato barely reaches 44.
The Bogota Document considers: Methodology, Diagnosis, Hard data by neighborhood, Graphs by crime, Context analysis by sector, Distribution maps of police equipment, Tables by locality, Heat maps by crimes by neighborhood, Lines of action, Investment plan, etc.
On the other hand, the “Frankenstein plan”, as the opposition councilor called it, since it is a document made up of part of other programs, lacks research, analysis, investment plan or action calendar.
The Bogotá security program was not the only one from which Irapuato “borrowed” parts, it also plagiarized at least seven paragraphs from the Security Plan of its neighboring municipality, Santiago Valley.
“Not only do we have outdated data, we not only have a program without a schedule, we are facing plagiarism, copy-paste, almost a task taken from Wikipedia, something that deserves students to be failed in this matter.
“A project that is delivered to us that has complete paragraphs plagiarized from the Security Plan of Bogotá, Colombia (…) is this really what Irapuato deserves, a plagiarism?”, questioned the councilor on July 29 when it was approved. The document.
This evident irresponsibility, for the director of Government Planning from Irapuato, Martin Barajasinterviewed by N+, is not about plagiarism, but about a “lack of technique in the citation”, which by technical definition falls under the concept of plagiarism, as it does not refer to the original document or author.
“We can categorically say that it is not plagiarism, it is a lack of technique in the citation and reference to bring a text,” the official explained before the cameras.
Despite the irregularities and the councilor’s complaint to the plenary session of the council, the PAN majority approved the document, which is the backbone of the strategy to care for the safety and lives of the people of Irapua.
