Mexico City.- While Opposition legislators doubt the government figures on the operation to arrest Ovidio Guzmán, Morenistas affirm that it was a successful strategy with minimal impact on civil society.
The deputy of Morena for Sinaloa, Ana Ayala, assured that a sign of the effectiveness of the operation is that the activities in Culiacán returned to normal.
“The red light, which was in the capital and some road sections, the situation has already normalized, thanks to the fact that the population took to the letter the recommendations to stay in their homes. Economic activities are also normal.
“There will continue to be operations in the 18 municipalities to give the population certainty that we are recovering normality. So the results show that it was a successful operation, civil damage was not the issue on this occasion,” he considered.
The coordinator of Morena in the Senate, Ricardo Monreal, affirmed that what happened in Sinaloa should lead to a review, of the three orders of Government, of the security strategy, to strengthen it, since no criminal gang should be placed above the Mexican State .
“Society, State institutions and the instances of the three orders of Government must make a common front of support for both the federal and state Executives, to achieve the prompt normalization of life in Sinaloa.
“There is no more urgent or important task than attending to the demand of the people to recover tranquility in their family and personal lives, and to enjoy a peaceful environment, with security and trust,” he added in a statement.
The PAN deputy, Mariana Gómez, assured that the results that the Security Cabinet boasted show that the arrest was a gift for President Joe Biden, since it is sad that the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) does not have an arrest warrant .
“The Chancellor assured that there would be no immediate extradition, but it is curious because there is no investigation folder here, that speaks of the fact that it was due to Biden’s visit, because there is only one extradition request from the United States. Nothing in politics It’s coincidence,” he said.
The legislator affirmed that one death or dozens are to be regretted, since they affect families.
He assured that the Government has yet to deliver a report on collateral damage and how it will help citizens who lost cars or suffered damage to their homes or businesses.
“We congratulate the security elements and we regret the casualties they suffered, and their families will always have our solidarity.
“If the government should answer for the losses of cars that were burned or looted businesses, they are collateral damage that must report the figures and what they will do. That entity also needs support in the coming weeks to come because we do not know how the gangs will act criminals,” he said.
The coordinator of Movimiento Ciudadano deputies, Jorge Álvarez, questioned the data on deaths and injuries reported by the National Defense, since, he indicated, they speak of more than 25 deaths and the daily security report indicates that in Sinaloa there were no homicides.
“The same thing happened a few weeks ago, on December 19, when the Tirado brothers were murdered. And they were not recorded in the daily security report.
“The underreporting of homicides is a constant. They lie, even when there is massive public evidence. And with that underreporting they created the ‘turning point’ and have justified militarization,” he criticized.
