Morelos Governor Leads Cuautla Peace Fair to Boost Security

Governor Margarita González Saravia of Morelos headed the "Feria de Paz Atención a las Causas" in Cuautla, calling for coordinated action by federal, state and municipal authorities to address the root causes of violence. The event offered free health, education, employment, legal and justice services, and promoted community activities aimed at children, youth and families. Officials from the Secretariat of the Interior and the Secretariat of Security praised the fair as part of the national peace strategy promoted by President Claudia Sheinbaum.

In Guanajuato, Mayor César Prieto launched the 2026 Weapon‑Exchange Campaign in Salamanca, encouraging residents to surrender firearms voluntarily. The initiative, supported by Governor Libia García Muñoz Ledo and the national defense ministry, seeks to reduce accidents and crime across ten municipalities.

At the federal level, the Secretariat of Security reported a 58 % drop in daily homicides in the State of Mexico over the past 21 months, attributing the decline to inter‑governmental coordination, intelligence sharing and territorial deployments. The continued emphasis on joint peace‑building actions underscores Mexico’s broader effort to improve public safety through community‑focused programs.
