The Three Legal Initiatives
- Homologation of the State’s Public Security Law to the Federal Law: This initiative seeks to align Querétaro’s Public Security Law with the national legislation, ensuring full coordination and cooperation among different government orders for enhanced efficiency.

Governor Kuri’s Vision for Querétaro’s Justice System
Kuri emphasized that justice is not merely a concept in codes or law books but an essential, living principle affecting people’s lives deeply. He highlighted the importance of addressing abuses, witnessing others’ suffering, and reacting to arbitrary acts, all of which spark the demand for justice.
These initiatives aim to establish a unique Querétaro Justice Model in Mexico, backed by the state’s Judicial Power and top legal experts. The goal is to ensure everyone’s rights are respected, and any harm is rapidly and effortlessly remedied.
Confidence in Legislative Support
Kuri expressed confidence that Querétaro residents have never hesitated to lead nationally. He trusts that state legislators will thoroughly analyze and approve these initiatives.
Key Components of the Proposed Justice System
- Selection of Qualified Candidates for Judicial Positions: The initiatives aim to establish tools for choosing suitable candidates for judge and magistrate positions.
- Implementation of Mediation and Arbitration Systems: Querétaro plans to introduce a mediation system and an arbitration system for resolving disputes efficiently.
- Professionalization of Civic Justice in Municipalities: The governor intends to professionalize civic justice at the municipal level, ensuring transparency and fairness.
Querétaro will be the first Mexican state with an integral justice model, ensuring families receive their rights without delays, bureaucracy, or corruption. The governor aims to foster a society that respects its justice system for many years.
The Foundation of the Common Good
Kuri concluded by stressing that the common good begins with upholding and enforcing the law, honoring others’ rights, and maintaining a respectful society.
