Juan Ortiz wrote that Claudia Sheinbaum questioned the participation of U.S. Ambassador Ronald Johnson and the governor of Querétaro, Mauricio Kuri, in laying the foundation stone of a police academy funded with support from the United States. According to Ortiz, Sheinbaum said that Kuri needed authorization from the Government of Mexico to create an international academy against organized crime and that the Federal Government had not been notified or invited to the event. The author noted that the International Police Training Academy would train authorities to detect drugs, weapons, illicit money, and smuggling, and that it would be the first of its kind in Mexico and Latin America. He added that Sheinbaum asked the foreign minister to speak with Johnson and Kuri, and maintained that training on organized crime fell to federal authorities, although it did not constitute a crime. Ortiz also indicated that the United States claimed to have allocated more than $10 million over the last decade for security training and equipment in Querétaro. #México #Seguridad #CrimenOrganizado (translated)
