He had served as Sheinbaum’s police chief when she was mayor of Mexico City from 2018 to 2023 and is credited with drastically reducing the number of murders and other serious crimes, earning the nickname “Batman.”Sheinbaum attributes the achievements to a strategy that combined social investment with improvements in police investigative capabilities and better coordination with prosecutors—a plan she intends to replicate at the national level.
He also stands behind Sheinbaum’s plan to strengthen the National Guard—a body of some 133,000 troops created by outgoing President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
