Secretaria de Gobernaci\u00f3n<\/em> is translated into English as “Secretary of the Interior”, but that doesn’t mean she is in charge of Mexican national parks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretaria de Gobernaci\u00f3n<\/em> is a very important official. Her department is Secretar\u00eda de Gobernaci\u00f3n<\/em>, known as SEGOB, the Secretariat of the Interior.

The Secretary of Gobernaci\u00f3n<\/em> is in charge of the government’s domestic administration and has many responsibilities, including the presentation of presidential decrees and proposals to Congress and the publication of new laws in the Diario Oficial de la Federaci\u00f3n<\/strong><\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Gobernaci\u00f3n<\/em> through the SEGOB bureaucracy is in charge of the following programs and departments:
1. The CNI Centro Nacional de Inteligencia<\/strong><\/em>, the National Intelligence Center.
2. The National Personal Identification Service
3. The Administration of Mexican federal islands.
4. Policies involving churches and other religious groups.
5. The General Archive of the Nation.
6. Disaster Relief
7. Lotteries
8. General Directorate of Radio, Television and Cinematography
9. The expulsion of foreigners from Mexico. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mexico does not have a Vice-President but if the President is unable to perform her duties, the Secretary of the Interior would assume them until a replacement is selected by Congress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So yes, it’s a very important post. The current Secretary of the Interior, Rosa Icela Rodriguez. was born in 1959 in the state of San Luis Potosi.
