García Harfuch Strengthens Position in Mexican Government

Omar García Harfuch, Mexico's Secretary of Security, has strengthened his position within the federal government. This was bolstered by recent changes at the Attorney General's Office, where he successfully placed two of his most trusted men in key roles with the backing of the new Attorney General, Ernestina Godoy. During a National Security Council meeting, attended by President Claudia Sheinbaum and state governors, García Harfuch played a leading role. He publicly demanded that the governor of Michoacán, Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla, show greater gratitude to the federal government for its timely intervention in the crisis following the assassination of Uruapan's mayor, Carlos Manzo. This meeting revealed a new power dynamic within the administration, where García Harfuch gains recognition from opposition figures but faces criticism from his own allies. Meanwhile, the governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, remains embroiled in a scandal stemming from a war between drug cartels.
