Although the president did not specify how many and from which security corporation, he said that “more elements are already being sent to that region of the country; however, there are none so far and I hope that does not happen, there is no indication of confrontations, nothing, this for the peace of mind of Sinaloa, Durango, and that region of the country.”
Asked if he does not think there is a risk of violence increasing, he replied: “No, we have no records of that so there is no concern. If we see that these events may occur, we will inform people. I do not think that will happen.”
In any case, he urged everyone to act responsibly. “The most sacred thing is life, we have to take care of it, protect it (…) yes, we are paying attention. There is nothing strange, exceptional in the entire region and I hope that we do not have any problems because I have great confidence in everyone’s responsibility. In addition, taking care of families and taking care of others, of our neighbors, people have no responsibility in these matters.”
He therefore called on people to take care of Durango, Nayarit, Sinaloa, Tabasco, Campeche. “Take care of our states, take care of the land where we were born and take care of our beloved Mexico, our homeland.”
