Mexico City.- The Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) requested President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to impeach the holders of the Ministry of Security and Citizen Protection, Alfonso Durazo, and the Attorney General’s Office of the Republic, Alejandro Gertz Manero, for his poor performance in terms of public safety. Through a statement, the political institute warned that “the other data” handled by the federal government contrasts with the actual figures, which show a crisis of ungovernability in the hands of organized crime.
According to the document, between December 2018 and the same month of 2019, there have been more than 34,000 murders at the hands of crime, in addition to a thousand kidnappings over the past year. The PRD considered it unfeasible for the federal government to achieve public safety outcomes this year, as promised by the President, as in 2019 he made a similar compromise, which he failed to fulfil.” In 2019, it pledged that crime statistics would fall within six months and, on the contrary, continue to increase exponentially,” the document said.

On Wednesday, during his morning conference, López Obrador assured that his government will give security results this 2020.This after being questioned by journalist Jorge Ramos for the rise of murders in the period 2018-2019.
