Overview
- Governor María Eugenia 'Maru' Campos announced the cabinet changes on Friday, naming Gilberto Loya Chávez as encargado del despacho of the Fiscalía General del Estado and Luis Ángel Aguirre Rodríguez as the new head of the Secretaría de Seguridad Pública.
- Loya arrives from the SSPE where he led the Plataforma Centinela program, a coordinated security platform the governor described as a model of efficiency, intelligence and measurable results that she wants applied to prosecutorial work.
- The appointment is interim: Campos invoked her constitutional authority to place an encargado del despacho in the Fiscalía while the definitive fiscal general will be selected through the review and approval process led by the State Congress.
- Francisco Sáenz Soto, who had been serving as the Fiscalía's encargado del despacho after the resignation of César Jáuregui, will remain working inside the institution to preserve continuity in investigations and administration.
- The governor framed the moves as a push for clearer coordination, stricter performance metrics and a victims-focused approach, and the next developments to watch are whether the Fiscalía adopts security-style operations and how the state Congress responds to the permanent nomination.
