“We have instructions from the Secretary General of Defense to join the fight against insecurity, to join the security strategy for peace in Quintana Roo. “The most important thing is to reduce the series of murders caused by the existence of drug trafficking points to reduce violence in Quintana Roo,” he said.
Serna promised to eliminate these incidents and improve the safety of Quintana Roo with the help of his experienced team.
“There is a lot of work to be done. We have a good team and we must contribute to move the issue forward,” he added.
