Three po­lit­i­cal par­ties are ques­tion­ing how the UNC could cam­paign on promis­es to fight crime, on­ly to now adopt what they de­scribe as old and failed PNM tac­tics—specif­i­cal­ly the de­c­la­ra­tion of a State of Emer­gency (SoE).

Pa­tri­ot­ic Front po­lit­i­cal leader Mick­ela Pan­day strong­ly crit­i­cised the SoE, ar­gu­ing that it is nei­ther a crime plan nor a cure.

Pan­day said, “The cit­i­zens of this coun­try de­serve safe­ty, not speech­es. They de­serve ac­tion, not ex­cus­es. And they de­serve a gov­ern­ment with the vi­sion and courage to lead, not just re­peat.”
