Senate Approves FGR’s 2026–2029 Justice Plan Focused on Victims

The vote installs a victim-focused roadmap for the FGR, leaving funding, staffing levels, metrics and timelines uncertain.

Overview

  • The Senate, which approved the plan Tuesday with an 85–1 vote and 30 abstentions, made it the federal prosecutor’s official roadmap through 2029.
  • The strategy sets 10 lines of action that elevate organized crime, kidnapping, extortion and disappearances to top priority and require every violent death of a woman to be probed under the femicide protocol.
  • FGR chief Ernestina Godoy said the goal is to cut Mexico’s vast share of unreported crime, citing INEGI figures above 90 percent, by improving services so more victims file complaints.
  • Opposition senators warned the document lacks guaranteed funds, clear targets and timelines, and they questioned whether a workforce just over 20,000 can meet the plan’s goals.
  • In a separate vote, the Senate approved the National Guard’s 2025 report that lists 121,247 personnel and 206 attacks on its members, with incidents concentrated in Michoacán, Sinaloa, Guanajuato and Sonora.
