Chapel municipalities, the risks of governance

The article discusses the risks to municipal governance in Mexico, using the case of Juchitán de Zaragoza, Oaxaca, where the mayor was involved in organized crime and corruption. The executive president of the Association of Mexican Municipalities highlights that such incidents reveal weaknesses in institutional capacity at the municipal level. The article notes that nearly 2,480 municipalities make up Mexico’s territorial structure and administrative framework, yet many face issues like poor management, corrupt officials, and collusion between local leaders and criminal groups. Federal authorities launched 'Operation Enjambre' to prevent organized crime infiltration into local governments, resulting in the detention of 14 mayors and former mayors by September 8th for crimes including drug trafficking, extortion, and homicide. States like Mexico, Puebla, and Morelos have seen multiple cases under this operation.
