### AMLO Signs Reforms to National Guard and Indigenous Communities
In his last morning press conference on September 30, 2024, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador signed significant reforms concerning the National Guard and the rights of indigenous and Afro-Mexican communities.
“I want to end by signing here in front of you the publications of two constitutional reforms. One of them pertains to the creation of the National Guard, which is an institution aimed at guaranteeing public safety,” said López Obrador.
He emphasized that the National Guard now boasts 135,000 members and has established 500 facilities and barracks. “This institution is accredited to protect citizens and, with this reform, it will now be part of the Secretary of National Defense [SEDENA], which will provide it with solidity, permanence, discipline, and honest management,” he added.
The second reform addresses the rights of indigenous communities in Mexico. “The reform guarantees rights to all communities, it caters to the most profound and genuine aspects of our country. This reform was approved by Congress, the Chamber of Deputies, senators, and 26 local legislatures,” explained the President.
President López Obrador was accompanied by Luis María Alcalde Luján, Secretary of Governance; Luis Crescencio Sandoval González, Secretary of Defense; María Estela Ríos González, Legal Counsel of the Federal Executive; and Adelfo Regino Montes, Director of the National Institute of Indigenous Peoples (INPI).
