In addition, three and a half years ago the National Guard was formed, which would be civilian, but “in fact, this has not been a reality, since since its creation and to date it has been under military command and is made up of 80% personnel from the armed forces”, so not only would the term be extended until 2024, but also the failed strategy, they detailed.
The opposition parties also recalled that with the reforms that the chambers of deputies and senators finalized last week, to “unconstitutionally transfer” the operation and administration of the National Guard to the Sedena, the possibility of consolidating itself as a true civil police”.
According to the PAN and the PRD, the abandonment of the state and municipal police forces and the increases in the rates of violence and insecurity during the administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador “show that the government’s security and crime-fighting strategy It has utterly failed.”
In the document they rejected that their proposal is that the military return to the barracks, but that “the failed strategy” of security be corrected and promote a civilian National Police, “well paid, equipped and organized.”
