They appoint federals … or remain without command
Six of the most violent municipalities in Guanajuato have left their security in the hands of commanders from the Federal Police or the National Guard.
Among them, only León ratified the Secretary of Security, Mario Bravo Arrona, in his position. And in the case of Irapuato, Miguel Ángel Simental arrived at the post, who previously had the same responsibility in Celaya, where another former member of the Federal Police entered his place.
In contrast, several other municipalities have not yet appointed their security manager, despite the fact that four months have passed since election day.
