Sheinbaum outlines response to violence and displacement in Guerrero

Reporting and context

President Claudia Sheinbaum said Guerrero faces a particularly difficult security situation in the La Montaña region, where criminal groups have established links with parts of the population. According to Infobae México, she said the federal government is combining security operations, dialogue, social programs and economic support to assist communities affected by violence and displacement.

Sheinbaum said Interior Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez is coordinating with Guerrero authorities to assist displaced residents. The government’s stated goal is to restore security so families can return, while pursuing arrest warrants against people authorities identify as responsible for violence. She said residents displaced in at least one case had already returned to their communities.

Infobae México reported that the federal response also addresses conditions that can leave communities vulnerable to criminal influence. Sheinbaum cited drought-related damage to agricultural production and said authorities were providing maize and beans to families that had not produced enough crops. The strategy also includes support for local income-producing activities, including jamaica production, along with education, health and welfare programs. She said federal personnel remain in some communities to follow residents’ needs and described Guerrero’s violence, displacement and economic hardship as a longstanding problem requiring a combined security and social response.
