The FGR does not report on significant federal operations in the state, raising concerns about potential infiltration by criminal groups.
Coordination Breakdown
Despite Yucatán maintaining its security apparatus under Commander Luis Felipe Saidén Ojeda, the change in state and federal governments appears to be causing fractures in one of its key strengths. Coordination between the three levels of government is diminishing, which could be highly risky for a state unaccustomed to high-impact crimes and could open the door to disputes among criminal groups already operating in the region.
Lack of Communication
The Attorney General’s Office (FGR) no longer reports on significant federal operations in the state, nor on investigations and interventions to arrest high-profile suspects. Federal sources told Sol Yucatán that the federation does not trust Yucatecan authorities, suspecting that elements within the corporation may be infiltrated by criminal groups and providing them with first-hand information.
Signs of Discontent
For many, the breakdown in coordination between the SSP and the Federation could be an early sign that Commander Saidén Ojeda may not complete his term. To prevent information leaks, the Secretary of Security, the State Attorney General’s Office, and the delegation of the Attorney General’s Office in Yucatán are not notified of operations.
This situation is causing discontent within the SSP, with some claiming that efforts are being made to undermine Saidén Ojeda by not informing him and preventing him from operating as he did under previous administrations of Ivonne Ortega Pacheco, Rolando Zapata Bello, and Mauricio Vila Dosal.
