Enrique Pena Nieto joins the fight against violence

Enrique Pena Nieto, a leading runner for the presidency in Mexico, believes that security and social justice are two concerns that must be addressed immediately, not only because it concerns all Mexicans, but because the government has an obligation to solve problems that affect the society at large.

From Enrique Peña Nieto

In Mexico, there is a general sense of mistrust in institutions that are responsible for enforcement and administration of justice: 87% of crimes committed remain unreported, while the impunity rate has reached an all-time high of 98%. These institutions are therefore not very effective in ensuring prompt and efficient security, which can arouse fear and restlessness among the citizens. To address this issue, Enrique Pena Nieto proposed a national strategy to reduce violence, as well as the number of homicides, kidnappings, and extortion, through these key objectives:

From Enrique Peña Nieto

*Strengthening crime prevention and community involvement by creating job opportunities for the youth and groups of people treading the poverty line (There must be a strong emphasis on economic growth, job creation, and equal opportunities.)


*Placing a greater importance in anti-money laundering and arms control, the bloodline of criminal organizations


*Focusing on the actions of the Federal government by performing operations intelligently, thus ensuring accurate, positive results


*Strengthening police forces

From Enrique Peña Nieto

Enrique Pena Nieto believes that if these things are to happen within the next six years, security and justice will be strengthened in the nation, and the citizenry’s faith in the forces that control national security will be restored – and a much-needed sense of peace will be felt.
