Mexico reduces intentional homicides by 25% with security strategy

Failures in internal controls

An audit of the Anti-Corruption and Good Government Secretariat identified multiple deficiencies in the Women’s Secretariat. Among them, the absence of mechanisms to verify that the personnel in charge of caring for victims of violence did not have a criminal record or gender violence record.

The report “A PROCESO-006-074-2025” also indicates that there were no clear hiring procedures in the Women’s Instances in the Federal Entities (IMEF). For this reason, a preventive recommendation was issued to strengthen entry filters.

Pending manuals and organization

The agency lacked an updated General Organization Manual and a Procedures Manual, mandatory documents for its operation. The audits recommended developing and updating them.

Although the Secretariat reported that several areas had already sent projects to integrate these manuals, until now their complete implementation has not been accredited. In addition, another review detected inconsistencies in job profiles in the Information Technology area.

These observations occur in a context of institutional transition: the Women’s Secretariat has not had a head since April 2026. This situation has generated administrative and operational pending issues in the new structure of the federal agency.

Blankets and keychains with the face of Omar García Harfuch

Outside the World Trade Center, where Morena holds its internal catwalk of aspiring state candidates, street vendors have found a gold mine: the image of the Secretary of Citizen Security.

Prices range from 50 pesos for key chains to 200 for blankets. According to merchants, these items are the most in demand at the event. They even surpass those of Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Claudia Sheinbaum.

The popularity of the official is reflected in sales. The sellers adapted their offer to the interest of the attendees. The variety of products has captured the attention of those who come to the venue.

The Morenoist catwalk not only moves politics. It also generates a direct impact on street commerce in the area. Sellers take advantage of each trend to increase their income.

Two students from the Autonomous University of Tamaulipas (UAT) achieved third place in the Ibero-American Final of Infomatrix 2026, one of the most important science and technology competitions in the region.

Juan Pablo Hernández Hernández and Yuridia Guadalupe Ruiz García, from the Tampico Faculty of Nursing, presented “V-Guard Gummies”, a gummy made with natural extracts that seeks to strengthen the immune system and support the prevention and treatment of the human papillomavirus (HPV).

High level competition

The event was organized by the Latin American Society of Science and Technology (SOLACYT) at the Tecnológico de Monterrey, San Luis Potosí Campus. It brought together 610 exhibitors and representatives of 250 finalist educational institutions from all over Latin America.

The young people reached this stage after obtaining the gold medal in the Gulf North regional phase. Their project received direct accreditation to the international phase thanks to the high score, quality and medical impact of the prototype.

The rector of the UAT, Dámaso Anaya Alvarado, promotes research and academic excellence as part of university education. This result reflects the work of students and teachers in developing accessible solutions to public health problems.
