Zacatecas.- The governor of the state of Zacatecas, David Monreal Ávila, pointed out that the Operation Zacatecas IIimplemented by the state government in conjunction with the federal government, has caused the wave of violence that the entity is going through.
The above after the findings where they have been found corpses wrapped in blankets in Zacatecas municipalities during the last days; facts for which two people are already detained.
Last Saturday, February 5, Monreal Ávila attributed the criminal acts that have been occurring in recent weeks to the security plan implemented last year in Zacatecas. The entity closed the month of January of the current year with a total of 134 murders.

“Together with the federal executive, we designed Plan Zacatecas II, which has resulted in a decrease in crime, but has also generated an escalation in violence due to confrontation between organized crime groups,” he assured.
Between Friday and Saturday, a total of 16 bodies have been located, which presumably are members of criminal groups, in the municipalities of Frenillo and Panfilo Natera.
“We knew what we were facing, we received the state in the worst climate of insecurity in history and I committed myself to the Zacatecan men and women to recover peace and tranquility,” said the state president.
The so-called Operative Zacatecas II entered into force as of November 25, 2021 with the integration of more than 3,800 security elements, as well as the use of helicopter gunships and the installation of an intelligence group.
David Monreal affirmed that his government is confronting the facts of public insecurity with intelligence strategies and with firmness, seeking that the atmosphere of peace return to the citizens of Zacatecas.
“We are facing the public insecurity that we inherited with intelligence, with firmness, with the desire that social peace and tranquility finally return to our state,” he pointed out.
