Coahuila to the Next Level | Zócalo Newspaper | News from Saltillo, Torreón, Piedras Negras, Monclova, Acuña

Coahuila is consolidating its position as the safest and most competitive state in the country, fulfilling the government’s promise to raise its level of development. This recognition, backed by data from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) and reflected in public perception, strengthens the state’s image across Mexico, boosting key sectors such as tourism and attracting investments that reaffirm its regional competitiveness. However, significant political and administrative tensions persist. There is disagreement in the Senate over the Land Registry Strengthening Law due to the lack of guaranteed funding for municipalities, which could lead to tax increases not initially anticipated. Meanwhile, public trust is undermined by cases of corporate fraud and by distrust regarding the candidate selection processes within the ruling coalition. The relevance of this article for *open_data* lies in how the transparency of official statistical information, such as INEGI’s security indices, validates public policies and builds social trust. The comparison between objective data and public perception demonstrates that access to verifiable information is crucial for measuring the real impact of government actions and fostering accountability—a fundamental pillar of open governance.
