The Sinaloa government has been forced to go into debt at an accelerated pace due to the lack of resources in the last two years. In Culiacán, after months of insecurity and the murder of two teenagers, citizens have manifested demanding the resignation of Governor Rubén Rocha Moya. This movement arose in a context where organized crime influenced local elections that year in favor of Morena.
The Mexican government has bet on improving the economic situation of citizens as compensation for its inability in other areas. However, this decision to sideline the private sector has had negative consequences, as the government has not managed to replace it in terms of investment, which has affected economic development in various states, such as Guerrero.
All of the above shows that Mexico faces serious problems of insecurity, a crisis in law enforcement, and a biased and politicized administration of justice. These difficulties add to the growth of the government's financial obligations, which have increased by 25% in recent years, approaching the limit considered acceptable by markets.
Moreover, Rocha's lack of control over the situation in Sinaloa is highlighted, who also faces accusations of collaborating with organized crime groups. Violence in Acapulco persists, reflected in the recent murder of Miguel Ángel Ventura, a promoter of Afro-Mexican culture. The process of selecting judges and magistrates has been questioned for lack of transparency and possible political interests.
In the face of external pressure and the country's internal problems, there is a need for urgent changes to prevent further deterioration in the economy and security. The popularity of political figures like Sheinbaum is compromised by the current crisis, forcing a rethinking of strategies and seeking solutions beyond cash distribution as the only resource to maintain popular support.
