The constitutional reform to incorporate the National Guard into the National Defense Secretariat (Sedena) will reduce the insecurity that has prevailed in the country for 24 years, said the coordinator of the Morena bench in the Chamber of Deputies, Ricardo Monreal.
However, he stressed that these constitutional changes, which will be discussed and voted on in the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday, are by no means a panacea for improving security.
“No, I don’t believe in panaceas. I think that we are going to have a great experience and I do believe that, in light of what is happening in the country, this reform will mitigate and be an instrument to respond to the great challenge of public insecurity caused since 2000, for decades, by organized crime.
“I do believe, in all seriousness, that this is an effective constitutional instrument to combat organized crime, not only in Sinaloa, but throughout the country,” said the Morena leader in San Lázaro.
He said that they do not contradict the positions they had previously held as an opposition, since the militarization that the opposition accuses will occur with this reform is actually a false debate.
Monreal insisted that the National Guard is an institution that serves a civilian government that emerges from a popular election, which will answer to a head of state and a secretary of public security, both civilians.
When asked about the insecurity that prevails in Sinaloa, he said that the stadium will be able to react, but that it has acted with moderation and prudence to avoid generating further confrontations, “I assure you that Sinaloa will regain peace and tranquility in the coming days.”
“I am calm and my mind is very clear in the sense that with the strategy that we are granting to the Mexican State, to the President of the Republic, we will confront with greater success this scourge of public insecurity in the country,” said the Morena member.
Regarding President López Obrador’s assertion that the United States is jointly responsible for the violence in Sinaloa, Monreal commented that the president has more information than anyone else in the country.
“I think he is justifying his information. I believe the President whenever I hear him. Sometimes some people think his version or position is too strong, but he always has firm, reliable, credible bases for what happened,” he said.
