In the last year, Chiapas has recovered peace and security, and the territory has returned to state control as fear recedes.
Governor Eduardo Ramírez Aguilar presented this first year as a shared achievement with the presidency of the Republic within the framework of the Fourth Transformation project.
At the end of 2014, Chiapas was described as a state gripped by fear, with highways blocked, bodies abandoned, extortion, and roadblocks that had become commonplace.
Today, there has been a turning point, and people are once again moving about and producing without the same feeling of constant siege, now that control of the territory has returned to the public authorities.
Eduardo Ramírez Aguilar brought peace to Chiapas and restored tranquility. Key achievements include the creation of the Pakal Immediate Reaction Force, the role of the armed forces, police reform, and daily coordination at the Security Roundtable.
It is undeniable that the population perceives greater tranquility, improved social morale, and a restoration of confidence.
In this first year, the foundations have been laid for development hubs, strategic infrastructure, and productive investment. This vision aligns directly with the governor’s central tenet: peace to produce and production to live better.
In Chiapas, the law is being enforced, peace has returned to homes, and people are moving about freely again. The feeling among the people is that the governor was right and that Ramírez will go down in history for restoring serenity. This atmosphere, amplified by positive impacts, reinforces a widespread perception: something has changed in the realm of security and public order.
Preliminary figures point to a decrease in homicides and femicides compared to the previous year, although the full year-end figures and historical data are still needed to confirm a sustained trend.
What is undeniable is that the most problematic highways have a greater state presence, that recent operations have resulted in swift responses to serious incidents, and that coordination with the Attorney General’s Office and the armed forces has ceased to be a mere formality and has become a central political priority.
Beyond security, government social media portrays a Chiapas attempting to rebuild its social fabric through a blend of symbols and projects.
The state is operating under five pillars: peace and mediation, literacy and intercultural education, social humanism, shared prosperity, and environmental awareness. The administration boasts progress in each area, from adult literacy programs to micro-watershed and reforestation campaigns.
On social media, officials explain that soil restoration and water conservation are not isolated projects; they are part of an effort to modernize the state’s rural landscape while simultaneously stabilizes finances and attracts investment.
In reality, Chiapas is experiencing a story of recovery and a return to law and order and hope. It’s not just propaganda; there are facts to back it up: fewer roadblocks, highways where freight transport is no longer suspended every week, tourism reappearing in figures and reservations, and producers once again shipping coffee, cacao, livestock, and fruit to domestic and international markets. Even so, an honest assessment requires nuances that digital hype tends to obscure.
The challenge in the coming months will be to demonstrate that this nascent peace is not a temporary pause, that the micro-watershed restored today will not be abandoned tomorrow, that educational programs are not reduced to mere ceremonies, and that security coordination does not rest solely on the governor’s will, but on institutions capable of withstanding shifts in mood and circumstances.
Every time the government repeats in a video that tranquility has returned, citizens will put that statement to the test when they leave their homes, when they send their children to school, when they travel at night on a highway they avoided a year ago.
Behind the initial report’s brilliance and the social media euphoria lies a basic political fact: a year marks the end of the trial period. If Ramírez can ensure that the narrative of peace and reconstruction withstands the stark contrast with the realities of communities, markets, and hospitals, Chiapas can claim to have left behind a period of constant fear and is moving toward a new horizon.
