Working every day for security.Or I don't know if you remember any president who every day or from Monday to Friday personally receives the part or the report of what happened in the last 24 hours in the country and who meets with the entire Security Cabinet at 6:00 at 7:00 in the morning”.He insisted that the most important thing of all is to attend to the causes, to ensure that we have a better society.All of this is what is going to help us to solve the problem, and we are moving forward, nothing more than the country was in full decomposition, he assured.“That is why I insist that, if you want to face a crisis, a decadence, there is only one transformation.If the same thing had continued, the corruption, the looting, the abandonment of the people, of the young people, that of those who do not trade, does not advance and that of succeeding at all costs without moral scruples of any kind, the country would be ungovernable, very difficult to control. live in the country in those situations."Of course, better results cannot be achieved overnight, we are working, but I have great faith that we will continue to advance," said López Obrador.Meanwhile, the spokesman for the Presidency, Jesús Ramírez Cuevas, highlighted the use of social programs to confront crime in the state by posting on Twitter: “6 states account for 49% of the country's homicides.These entities concentrate social programs: Michoacán (25,979), Guanajuato (5,653), EdoMex (27,349), Baja California (1,205), Jalisco (7,428) and Sonora (2,553).Our goal is to take young people away from crime.”He affirms that 75% of homicides are due to clashes between gangs;he puts Sinaloa as an example of "peace"López Obrador assured that in Sinaloa, where the predominant group is the Pacific Cartel, there are fewer homicides."It is the predominance of a group that has no competition, like others, and this means that there are no confrontations, because 75 percent of the homicides that are registered in the country have to do with these confrontations."In a conference from the National Palace, the President gave Durango and Sinaloa as an example of “peace”, territories dominated by the organization led by the Zambada and Guzmán families."There are places where a strong gang predominates and there are no clashes between groups and that is why there are no homicides, shall I explain them further?" He said.– In what states does this occur?, he asked."For example, in Sinaloa, Sinaloa is not among the states with the most homicides," he replied.– Isn't it a negotiated peace?“It is that there is only one gang, 75 percent has to do with confrontations.There are some from the State of Mexico that interfere a lot with the population due to extortion, to dominate markets, to collect floor fees, but in general, the big gangs have to do with drug trafficking.”“Here it is, look, where is Sinaloa?Look,” he noted in a slide on homicides by states.The Tabascan said that the advance of cartels is not generalized and denied that 30 percent of the territory is dominated by crime.“It is not what the US agencies say, that 30 percent of the territory is dominated by organized crime, it is not true, we can prove it.There are states where there are no homicides, half of the states do not have a problem of violence that is reflected in homicides and of the other half there are 8 or 10 states, where we have, in the case of homicides, more cases: Edomex, Michoacán, Baja California, Zacatecas, Guanajuato, Sonora, Jalisco”."There is concentrated, in 6 states, 50 percent of the homicides, in 6 of 32 states and we are advancing, little by little."The Tabascan attributed the violence to gangs that emerged during the neoliberal period.They are not new, they are the same.They come from Calderón and have been strengthened in recent times.”Army and GN reinforce security in Edomex;The dead in Texcaltitlán rise to 11After the confrontation registered on Tuesday in the Municipality of Texcaltitlán, in the south of the State of Mexico, which left 11 people dead who were part of a criminal cell, and as part of the security strategy in the entity, 140 elements of the Army arrived.
