Concern among employers

The leader of Carmen’s businessmen said that the entity has been characterized by being the state with the lowest crime incidence, mainly in acts considered high-impact, so that the latest recorded events generate concern for Carmelite society.

“It is worrying that in a very short period several of these events have been registered, more than anything considering that insecurity inhibits investments, so it is important that federal, state and municipal authorities pay attention, especially at this time so complicated that we live so complicated, derived from the pandemic, from which we have not yet recovered ”.

Fuentes Alvarado asked the authorities of the three levels of government to reinforce actions aimed at strengthening security throughout the municipality and the state.

“They break the tranquility of the municipality”

Josefina Ojeda Martínez, president of Canaco Carmen, stated that the recent violent events are a wake-up call to the ministerial authorities, “since they break with the tranquility of the municipality.”
