The company “Equipos Consultores” affirms that for 55 percent of the citizens, crime and insecurity are the main problems of the country.

Based on the pollster, the perception of the issue had dropped at the end of 2023, but has rebounded so far this year.

It went from just over 40 percent to 55 percent in a matter of months.

Unemployment and lack of jobs were mentioned by 28 percent of those surveyed, with 21 percent citing the economic situation and 14 percent referring to education.

Insecurity is one of the issues that mark the current electoral campaign for the internal party elections and for the national elections in October.

As reported by the Ministry of the Interior most of the crimes decreased in the last quarter, although the last year was marked by homicides and other violent acts, many associated with drug trafficking.
