Michoacán Governor Claims State Leads Mexico in Justice, Impunity Fight

Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla asserted that Michoacán has solidified its position as a leader in justice administration and the fight against impunity, presenting findings from the "Radiografía de la Impunidad 2024" study. He highlighted that an analysis of Mexico's criminal justice system, conducted by México Evalúa, indicates Michoacán has the nation's lowest impunity index.

Ramírez Bedolla attributed this achievement to the coordinated work of security and justice institutions. He emphasized the collective effort of agencies responsible for crime prevention, investigation, and sanctioning, alongside the commitment of justice system personnel to ensure citizens' access to justice. The governor also reported a 70% reduction in intentional homicides since his administration began in October 2021.

Further indicators of increased efficiency in justice impartation over the past eight months were also presented. The Judiciary issued sentences against 472 individuals, and 90% of defendants brought before courts were linked to proceedings. Additionally, 93% of search warrant requests were authorized. "This is not just about statistics, but about a public policy aimed at strengthening justice administration, guaranteeing reparations for victims, and improving institutional performance before jurisdictional bodies," Ramírez Bedolla stated.

He concluded by emphasizing that strengthening the Judiciary, the State Attorney General's Office, and fostering coordination among federal, state, and municipal authorities have been crucial in advancing the fight against crime and consolidating the rule of law in Michoacán.
