Sheinbaum Says Michoacán Plan Is 67% Complete After One Year

A pending Security Cabinet report will show whether the social programs and infrastructure spending have reduced violence in the state.

Overview

  • The federal government presented a one-year balance on Wednesday reporting 67% overall progress with 1,680 of about 2,500 works or actions completed and 72,431 million pesos spent, equal to 61% of the plan's 118,000 million peso budget.
  • Officials reported large-scale social outreach that included 115 Ferias del Bienestar with 1,120,664 service attentions, Tianguis del Bienestar distribution of 2,234,313 basic goods, and the voluntary disarmament program collecting 673 firearms and 41,891 cartridges.
  • Major transport and connectivity efforts were highlighted, including six strategic road projects covering 411 km with roughly 41,383 million pesos and 80 local 'caminos artesanales' totaling about 325 km and 2,120 million pesos.
  • Federal figures also showed human-capital and health advances such as 795,717 students on scholarships, 10,015 new upper-secondary places, three new university units enrolling 1,807 students, about 2.5 million vaccine doses administered, and 502,000 health fair attendances.
  • Core security metrics remain unpublished and will be released by the Security Cabinet on November 10, a report that will let authorities and residents judge whether the plan's spending and programs have translated into fewer homicides, less extortion, and better public safety.
