In her first year in office, Claudia Sheinbaum boasted a significant decrease in intentional homicides and virtually all federal crimes. After a decade of lethal and savage violence, the curve has begun to bend.
Those who have eyes to see, see: comparing September 2024 with the last September we lived in, there is a decrease in the mortality rate by a third.
Today, however, a year later, the murder of the former mayor of Uruapan and leader of the Hat Movement, Carlos Manzo, collapses the triumphant narrative that was traveling at a gallop. And, above all, it hurts the all-powerful security czar: Omar García Harfuch.
Michoacán will be a trial by fire for Harfuch. In Tierra Caliente, not only will the security strategy of the new government be called into question, but also one of the pillars on which its political future rests.
