In his morning press briefing, Lopez Obrador discussed the issue that was closed on Thursday during a long and violent debate at the Senate, which was finally approved by the majority and passed to the Executive for signature.

I have said several times that the National Guard must be taken care of so that it does not fall into the same mistakes we made with the federal police, which it rotted, the head of State said.

I do not know how some legislators oppose that the National Guard has discipline and professionalism and acts with responsibility and respect for human rights, I am surprised by that attitude and the level of cretinism and hypocrisy, the president stressed.

The Mexican Senate approved that the Secretariat of National Defense take operational and administrative control of the National Guard.
