The important thing is the results: Sheinbaum
The president added that “it is important that, while maintaining the autonomy of the Prosecutor’s Office, which is fundamental, we strengthen coordination” with the federal government. “I said it from the campaign and I said it during this period that I have been President. Coordination is very important to guarantee security, to continue advancing in security and zero impunity in our country. And now I believe that there will be even, I hope, greater coordination. And we will wait for the Senate’s decision,” she explained.
—What did the letter that the Senate of the Republic sent you contain?—questioned the press in the National Palace.
—It’s something else. The important thing is that today we are in this circumstance and we are going to move forward,” the President concluded.
—What were the reasons for this removal or this offer of an Embassy to the Prosecutor?—the press insisted.
—That’s your opinion. Yes, but it is your opinion because there are also other interpretations. So I think the important thing is a recognition of their work, a cycle closes and a new cycle opens. And he is going to represent Mexico in an Embassy. We are going to wait for the response from the country’s Embassy and we will make it known, but our recognition of their work and this new beginning stage, which we seek to have more coordination for the well-being of the people, and security, peace and the reduction of impunity in our country—said Sheinbaum.
On the issue of the autonomy of the FGRthe president assured that the most important thing “are the results.” “It is the most important thing: to advance in the procurement and administration of justice in Mexico. Very important. We are in moments of transformation and everything has to have its process,” he said.
“So it is also very important that within the Prosecutor’s Office there is also a process of transformation, that there is a better identity of the people with their Prosecutor’s Office and the administration of justice. That will be up to the new Prosecutor who elects the Senate of the Republic and the coordination that exists between the areas because the fact that there is autonomy does not mean that there is no coordination. I have always said it, this has always been my opinion. We saw it in Mexico City,” he highlighted.
