Interim Governor Graciela Domínguez announced a reconstruction and peace plan to address systemic violence and economic instability in Sinaloa [1].
The initiative seeks to stabilize a region long plagued by organized crime and social unrest. By focusing on both security and economic recovery, the administration aims to restore the daily lives of citizens and rebuild trust in state institutions.
The comprehensive plan prioritizes attention for victims of violence and the reconstruction of the social fabric [1]. Domínguez said the strategy specifically targets the issues of forced disappearances and internal displacement, which have displaced thousands from their homes and communities [1].
Economic recovery is a central pillar of the proposal. The plan includes measures for economic reactivation and the protection of employment to ensure that citizens have viable alternatives to criminal activity [1]. This approach links financial stability directly to the state's ability to maintain long-term peace.
Domínguez described the goal as creating a tangible sense of security across various sectors of society. "Una paz que se sienta en las calles y en las comunidades, en las escuelas, en los negocios, en los campos y en nuestras costas," Domínguez said [1].
The governor's office said that the plan is designed to generate a peace that is felt in the daily routines of the population [1]. This involves coordinating efforts between local government and community leaders to identify the most affected areas of the state [1].
“"Una paz que se sienta en las calles y en las comunidades..."”
This plan represents a shift toward a holistic security model that treats economic desperation and human rights violations as drivers of violence. By integrating victim support and job protection into a peace strategy, the Sinaloa government is acknowledging that military or police action alone cannot resolve the state's crisis without addressing the underlying socioeconomic collapse.
