Reporting and context

Meridiano de Nayarit reported that Nayarit hosted the 54th plenary assembly of Mexico’s National Conference of Prosecutors in Bahía de Banderas, where officials discussed strategies on disappearances, extortion and femicide.

Governor Miguel Ángel Navarro Quintero presided over the opening, according to the outlet. The gathering brought together state attorneys general, officials from the three levels of government and representatives of international organizations. Attorney General Ernestina Godoy Ramos, who leads the conference, said institutions needed stronger shared powers to address impunity and corruption, the report said.

Navarro Quintero said the work agenda would prioritize coordinated responses to complex crimes and that no authority could address disappearances, extortion or femicide alone. Meridiano reported that representatives of the UN human rights office, the Defense Ministry, the Navy and the National Guard also took part. Officials said the meeting’s work could support technological and operational cooperation intended to improve investigations nationwide. The source describes policy discussions and official plans; it does not report specific enforcement outcomes, arrests, or new measures adopted at the assembly.
