Offensive to say homicides are down: Daniela de los Santos

Daniela de los Santos Torres, PRI deputy in the Congress of Michoacan, in an interview for Monitor Expresso said that it is offensive to say that homicides have dropped and that security is better when in Michoacan things are still very bad.
For the congresswoman there is a total lack of control and a lot of coordination is needed between the three levels of government, municipal mayors continue to be minimized, common crime must be combated, she assured that crimes such as house-room robbery or armed robbery become a hotbed of criminals for organized crime organizations, “Local security has to be strengthened.”
De los Santos Torres, pointed out that from the federal government his first actions that they did when they came to power was to remove the FORTASEG, “it was a support that the federal government provided to the municipalities in matters of security, that resource was sent directly by the federation to the mayors to be able to fight common crime. ”
On the statements of the President of the Republic, Andrés Manuel López Obrador and the governor of Michoacán, Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla, in which they describe the acts of violence that have been registered in the Tierra Caliente area as propaganda acts, the legislator commented that it is outrageous that they are expressed in that way and more for people who have lived the violence generated by criminal groups.
“It seems to me that it is very regrettable, on top of that the strategy has not worked, to presume other things that do not exist, it is necessary a strong hand of the federal government, an absolute coordination but really a clear strategy,” he added.
