A strategic move on the board of justice
The Attorney General’s Office has just moved its pieces. Ernestina Godoy Ramos appointed eleven new federal prosecutors in ten states, a move that smacks of much more than a simple bureaucratic replacement. This is high-level political theater, and the setting is national security.
The official statement talks about “promoting operation” and strengthening work in harmony with the Security Cabinet. But between the lines, one reads a clear strategy: take territorial control of the prosecutor’s offices that were previously delegations. It’s not a name change, it’s a philosophy change.
“The function constitutes a responsibility to face challenges with integrity, professionalism and firm commitment,” Godoy highlighted during the meeting with those appointed.
The key details of the new deployment
This is where it gets interesting. The incumbent is not bringing in new faces from abroad. It is promoting from within, betting on profiles with decades of experience in the trenches. It is as if he had decided that the war against impunity is won with soldiers who already know the battlefield.
Teófila González Lozada takes Baja California after passing through Ensenada. Margarita Galván Rodríguez jumps from Guanajuato to Campeche. In Mexico City, Laura Gabriela Chang Marroquín was already handling complex cases. Rosalía Juárez Ramírez has been working as a Public Prosecutor for more than 20 years before arriving in Durango.
Each appointment tells a story. Enrique Landeros Curiel comes from Zapopán to Jalisco. José Guadalupe González Guajardo crosses from Reynosa to Nuevo León. Damaris Baglietto Hernández leaves CDMX for Oaxaca after having been a subdelegate in several states.
My father always said that politics is lived in the streets, not at desks. Seeing these profiles, Godoy seems to have understood the lesson. They are not bureaucrats; They are investigators, litigants, people who have seen the coffee-stained files and the statements taken in the middle of the night.
The question I ask myself while drinking this coffee is: will this really strengthen coordination? Or it will be another act in this play where each actor says his lines but the script remains the same. The curtain has just risen for these eleven prosecutors. Now it’s time to see how they act.
