Mexico's AG Announces Plan to Strengthen National Security

The Attorney General of the Republic, Ernestina Godoy Ramos, announced the beginning of a series of visits to the federal prosecutors' offices in the states, as part of the institution's General Plan, which will be presented soon. In an article published on Monday in the newspaper El Universal, Godoy Ramos explained that these actions aim to strengthen institutional coordination and improve proximity to citizens. She stated that the visits are framed within the National Security Strategy of President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo's cabinet, in which the FGR actively participates. "Working together and in harmony is fundamental to the institutional mission," she said. This visit program plans to guarantee the presence of the Attorney General "in all regions and corners of the country," as well as to rethink the regional division within each entity to "make the necessary adjustments in terms of sub-offices to attend to current criminal dynamics and behaviors." Godoy Ramos also announced a program to strengthen and dignify the institutional infrastructure, "based on budget availability," through the modernization of attention windows, receptions, workspaces, forensic laboratories, restrooms, command rooms, detention cells, interview rooms, spaces for juvenile offenders, evidence warehouses, and archives. She affirmed that in the triad of crime prevention, prosecution, and sanction, "it was essential to strengthen the functions of the public ministry, prioritizing the protection of victims and the fight against impunity." She concluded that "true and lasting peace is only built through justice."
