[9] Asked for his opinion regarding the population's claim for the growing wave of crime and violence that is hitting the capital, Pedraza said that insecurity was only a matter of "sensation",[10] an expression that was harshly criticized, although months later it was it retracted and recognized that insecurity was not just a perception but "a real problem".
