“This makeup of the figures occurs practically in all crimes. This is serious because the political decisions that are being made do not obey reality, and the ones who end up affected are the citizens, ”he adds.
In the government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador there are 135,461 intentional homicides, a figure that has already exceeded the 120,463 violent deaths that occurred during the six-year term of PAN member Felipe Calderón Hinojosa, when the so-called war against drug trafficking was declared.
“With about 13 or 15 months remaining from the end of the current administration, the 156,000 homicides of Enrique Peña Nieto will also be exceeded, in such a way that in the last months of this administration each new homicide will be a new record in the history of lethal violence in the country”, warns Ricardo Márquez Blas, consultant and security specialist.
The fight against corruption is also seen as a great pending of this administration. Although the country went from place 138 (2018) to 124 (2022) out of 180 countries in the Transparency International Ranking, the legal system that was created to combat this scourge was abandoned.
In four years his government has not been exempt from corruption scandals such as Segalmex. In the Mexican Food Security System (Segalmex), considered the “Conasupo de la 4T” mismanagement has been detected that caused damage to the treasury for more than 9,500 million pesos and for which 38 complaints have been filed with the Attorney General of the Republic, in addition the controversies have touched his closest circles with one of his sons and his brothers.
That of López Obrador is a government that opts for awards rather than tenders. Organizations such as Mexicans Against Corruption have revealed that 8 out of 10 public administration contracts They have been delivered that way.
“Corruption was another of the great flags of this government, however, much remains to be done in terms of institutional strengthening. Little has been done to strengthen the figure of the National Anti-Corruption System, which was a project that was stranded and has dissimilar degrees of development within the federal entities. A margin of impunity still persists, little has been done to arrest figures, public servants who could be involved in acts of corruption, or family members, which creates the impression that justice is applied selectively and not equally.” , explains Urbina Cortés.
