Another call for coordination that should already be routine
The Attorney General’s Office (FGR) once again asked to “strengthen coordination” between security agencies. Its owner, Ernestina Godoy Ramos, said it in Manzanillo, Colima. The speech sounds familiar: synergy, joint work, concrete results.
“This synergy allows us to consolidate a stronger team in the face of security challenges,” he stated.
But here’s the thing: if coordination is so key, why is it still an announcement and not an operational reality? State security tables have existed for administrations. The agreements are signed. Photos are taken.
Godoy talks about translating these agreements into “more robust investigations” and more arrest warrants. He says that fighting impunity prevents crime. You are legally right. It is basic Criminal Law.
The curious thing is the timing. This call occurs when the figures of certain crimes continue to generate social alarm. When the citizen perception of the authorities… well, let’s not delve into surveys.
The prosecutor also asked to communicate the progress to “generate trust.” Here my professional cynicism is activated: trust in institutions or in communications? Because they are different things.
Finally, the classic: “close and professional attention”, “people at the center”. I have heard it in so many press conferences that it already has the flavor of a remade script. I wonder how many citizens who have set foot in a prosecutor’s office lately would feel like they are “in the center” of something.
The diagnosis is correct. The recipe too. The execution… that is the part that always fails between the official discourse and the reality on the streets.
