The Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) in Yucatán initiated a movement to address public safety concerns through a planned Security and Peace Forum titled “Diagnóstico y Futuro para Yucatán”. The forum aimed to bring together former governors and legal experts to discuss strengthening institutional security and combating new crime modalities.

Following the forum, PRI Yucatán President Gaspar Quintal Parra presented data highlighting a significant rise in crime. Citing INEGI statistics, he noted that estimated crimes increased from approximately 438,000 in 2023 to 584,000 in 2024, a 33% rise. Specific concerns included a 38% increase in digital fraud and a low official reporting rate of only 9.4%, which suggests a gap between citizens and justice institutions.
