"One of the fundamental pillars of the Michoacan Plan for Peace and Justice is the reinforcement of the 10,300-strong military and national guard presence. Sheinbaum said that nearly 2,000 additional security forces would be sent to the state on Monday under the plan. The mission of the federal forces is to crack down on criminal groups, combat extortion and dismantle drug labs and training camps, officials said at the press conference."
"The plan also includes social actions, such as scholarships for students and encouraging young people to participate in sports in order to prevent them from being recruited by crime. The government will also bolster resources in sectors such as agriculture and tourism. It would see the investment of 57 billion pesos ($3.10 billion, 2.68 billion), Sheinbaum said."
""In recent days, we have seen pain and outrage over the cowardly murder of the mayor of Uruapan. We share that sentiment. His cowardly murder hurts all of Michoacan and the entire country," Sheinbaum said while presenting the plan with her cabinet."
Mexico will reinforce federal security in Michoacán after the assassination of Uruapan mayor Carlos Manzo. The Michoacan Plan for Peace and Justice will bolster an existing 10,300-strong military and national guard presence with nearly 2,000 additional personnel. Federal forces will target criminal groups, extortion networks, drug labs and training camps. The plan includes social measures such as scholarships and sports programs to deter youth recruitment, and increased support for agriculture and tourism. The government plans an investment of 57 billion pesos. Manzo was killed on November 1 during Day of the Dead celebrations; his killing, the seventh mayoral murder since 2022, sparked widespread outrage.
