Sheinbaum Unveils Plan Michoacán for Peace and Justice

The government promises a preventive, integrated response across 25 priority municipalities.

Overview

  • The plan pairs federal security coordination with social, educational, cultural and economic programs following the assassination of Uruapan mayor Carlos Manzo.
  • Security measures include joint units of the National Guard, the federal security ministry and the state prosecutor, a high‑impact prosecutor’s office, biweekly security tables and an alert system for mayors.
  • An office of the Presidency will operate in selected municipalities, with a particular focus on Uruapan, and homicide and extortion will be treated as priority crimes.
  • Sheinbaum convened her cabinet to organize rapid consultations this week and said concrete actions could be presented by this weekend or early next week.
  • Socioeconomic actions outlined include social security and decent wages for agricultural workers, schools promoting a culture of peace, victim reintegration, transport scholarships for university students and community sports initiatives.
