In Querétaro, citizens can file complaints through 911, and fake IDs will be confiscated from minors. Campaigns are being held in universities to remind parents of their responsibilities. The state governor indicated that governance does not depend on political parties and that he works as a team with the 18 municipal government secretaries through monthly meetings to set objectives and goals. Regarding relations with political forces, he affirmed that he maintains permanent communication with federal and local deputies, as well as with municipal presidents, regardless of their party. In the 2027 electoral process, the Government Secretariat will generate conditions for balance and will be a channel of communication with the parties, although it does not regulate the process directly, he clarified. Regarding work with notaries and citizen complaints, he noted that upon arrival there were 156 administrative complaints for non-delivery of deeds or irregular charges; today these have been reduced to around 71 through mediation between complainants and notaries, and sanctioning procedures are concluded when appropriate, which can even lead to the loss of the notaryship. For Holy Week, the Government Secretariat is preparing an operation coordinated by state Civil Protection with municipalities, focused on prevention and assistance in Catholic spaces, roads, and bodies of water, with campaigns against accidents from alcohol consumption or swimming in inappropriate conditions. Trainings were conducted with waiters, valet parking, and staff, including talks with psychologists from the Youth Secretariat on dealing with people in excess alcohol, the official revealed. He assured that they work permanently with public and private universities to generate awareness about excessive consumption, and the regularization of establishments in municipalities outside the metropolitan area is promoted through agreements. Hours were modified to extend them, preventive measures were implemented such as the voluntary use of biometrics in some establishments, and strict inspections were reinforced. Businessmen have assumed commitments such as not allowing the entry of minors, reporting risk situations, and closing at the established time. The operations verify alcohol licenses, and those that seriously violate them are permanently closed (sales to minors, drugs, adulterated alcohol, or major incidents). The Secretary of Government of Querétaro, Eric Gudiño, granted an interview to Publimetro Querétaro in which he addressed topics such as the regulation of nightlife, coordination with municipalities, state governance, and his vision of public service, in the context of Governor Mauricio Kuri's administration. Gudiño explained that after the incident in November 2024 at the bar Los Cantaritos, which affected the perception of nightlife, he took on the issue from the Government Secretariat with a focus on shared responsibility among the government, businessmen, citizens, and families.
