In Mexican offices, an acuerdo is also a meeting. The Diccionario del español de México defines it as a “reunión de funcionarios de una institución en la que se resuelven problemas o se conviene algo sobre ellos” (meeting of officials of an institution in which problems are resolved or something is agreed about them). The dictionary gives the phrases tener acuerdo and estar en acuerdo.
The internal regulations of the Ministry of Security and Citizen Protection, of 2019, make this a duty at each level. The minister must acordar, agree, with the president. The undersecretaries must “acordar con el Secretario los asuntos relevantes de su competencia” (agree with the minister on the relevant matters within their competence).
The heads of units must “acordar con su superior jerárquico la resolución de los asuntos relevantes a su cargo” (agree with their hierarchical superior on the resolution of the relevant matters in their charge).
