Interim Governor Rubí Domínguez Nava presented a plan Wednesday to facilitate the return of communities displaced by violence in Sinaloa [1, 2].
The initiative aims to restore governability and security in areas where residents were forced to flee. By establishing a direct state presence in these regions, the administration seeks to create the necessary conditions for families to return to their homes safely.
Domínguez Nava said that her cabinet will conduct tours one time per week [1]. These visits are scheduled to begin next week and will continue for four weeks during the first month of the program [1]. The governor intends to visit three distinct regions of the state to assess needs and implement security measures [1].
The move comes as the interim leader seeks to stabilize a state plagued by internal conflict. Domínguez Nava said that Sinaloa requires "toda la fuerza del Estado mexicano" — all the strength of the Mexican State [2].
As part of the transition, the governor is reviewing the cabinet established by her predecessor, Rocha [2]. This administrative audit coincides with the push for increased field presence to address the humanitarian crisis of internal displacement.
"Vamos por la paz en Sinaloa," Domínguez Nava said [2].
The plan focuses on the immediate restoration of local authority. By moving the cabinet from the capital into the affected municipalities, the administration intends to bypass bureaucratic delays, and provide direct support to displaced populations [1].
“Sinaloa requires "toda la fuerza del Estado mexicano."”
The strategy signals a shift toward a more visible, decentralized government presence in Sinaloa. By deploying the cabinet weekly to high-conflict zones, the administration is attempting to rebuild trust with displaced populations and assert state control over territories previously dominated by violence. The success of this plan depends on whether the 'strength of the Mexican State' can provide permanent security rather than temporary visits.
