And who is in charge of security?
Without clarifying who is in charge of public security in the absence of Undersecretary Ricardo Mejía – who requested a license to promote the revocation of the mandate – and due to the recontagion of Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said that “there is another people who are supplying it”.
The federal president shared that there are around five officials from his team who requested permission to separate from their functions, with the aim of dedicating themselves to promoting the referendum on the revocation of the mandate.
One of them is Ricardo Mejía, who stepped down from office at the end of March to promote the revocation. According to the president, this is because the governor of Coahuila, Miguel Ángel Riquelme, called to reject the consultation.
“Today I want to make a respectful call to the PRI members of Coahuila: Let’s not participate in the farce that they intend to put on next April 10!” Riquelme said on March 26.
“The only case, and I don’t know if it’s a vacation, was that of Ricardo Mejía, he’s from Coahuila. and since the governor said that no one should vote…”, López Obrador said.
While the Undersecretary of Security remains in the campaign, the homicides do not stop in the country. Between Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 223 intentional homicides were registered.
States such as Michoacán, the State of Mexico and Guanajuato remain the most violent entities in the country.
