Mexico City.- The Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Alfonso Durazo, acknowledged that there are still some 2,400 elements of the Federal Police that are not yet incorporated into the ranks of the National Guard.In interview, the official stated that these elements — these elements — those who have blocked the capital airport — are entitled not to join the new corporation, although at the same time it questioned that decision.
“We are moving forward. There are elements that do not want to pass to the National Guard, and are in their right and we have offered them options, 10 options, one of them the Federal Protection Service; but for those who are not satisfied with any of the ten options I would say is that frankly he has decided not to be satisfied with anything,” he said. Durazo explained that the Government had opened a voluntary withdrawal programme with sufficient budget. Earlier, at the Federal Protection Service memorial ceremony, Durazo announced the sending of a law initiative aimed at regulating private security corporations.” We already have an initiative that will be presented soon, because we have a big problem: we have 300 thousand registered but figures speak up to 500 thousand,” he said.
