Zihuatanejo's homicide rate is one of the highest in Mexico, with one source stating a rate of 61.3 homicides per 100,000 people in the year leading up to August 30, 2025. Another report from late July 2025 indicated an even higher rate of 75.6 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants based on data from the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System (SESNSP). These figures place the municipality among the most violent in the country. The murder rate in the Montreal Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) was \(1.19\) per \(100,000\) people in 2023, a drop of over 20% from the previous year. In 2023, there were 54 homicides in the Montreal area, down from 66 in 2022. The rate was below two homicides per 100,000 for the first time since 2019.

Which is why I post daily "#MásSeguridadPúblicaMenosCemento".

But PRI governments such as our municipal government are well known for putting their corruption before all else, and behind all the pretty events and lipstick, our current mayor is no different. Case in point: in spite of overwhelming opposition to "remodelling" the Panteón de La Madera, the mayor is OF COURSE going ahead with her plan to pour tons more cement there on top of many of the tombs. A nose-flipping insult to the entire community. Welcome to paradise!
