Cuautla begins new security era with joint federal and state operation

The municipality of Cuautla in Morelos is entering a new phase of security efforts as the state and federal governments deploy a joint operation. This initiative aligns directly with President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo's priority strategy to address escalating crime in the region.

“

I want to ask the City Council to be united, to support us together with your municipal president to achieve this coordination together.

The operation was formalized during a "Peace Fair" held at the Old Train Station. Its primary objective is to regain control in an area heavily impacted by criminal activity through the coordinated actions of federal, state, and municipal forces. Governor Margarita González Saravia emphasized the need for the Cuautla City Council to provide unwavering support to the local administration, warning that divisions could undermine the fight against criminal organizations operating in the area.
