Oaxaca Congress dissolves Juchitán municipal government

Overview

The Oaxaca State Congress has officially approved the disappearance of powers in the municipal government of Juchitán de Zaragoza. During an extraordinary session, the legislative body passed the decision with 35 votes in favor and zero against, fulfilling Governor Salomón Jara Cruz’s request to restore security and governability in the region.

This political dissolution follows the arrest of Mayor Miguel Sánchez Altamirano on charges of aggravated extortion and crimes against state security, with alleged links to the ‘Los Cromos’ criminal cell. In addition to the mayor, authorities have detained Carlos Alberto P. L., known as ‘La Parca,’ and former municipal police commissioner John Keny Moreno Segura.

Concurrent with the political transition, state security forces conducted a mandatory inspection and disarmament of the Juchitán Municipal Police. The operation resulted in the seizure of 28 long guns, 27 short guns, and 2,029 cartridges, all of which were transferred to the state’s general armory. Governor Jara Cruz will appoint a provisional municipal commissioner to manage administration and public services until new elections are held.
