After the explosion of two car bombs in Guanajuato, caused by the dispute between the local cartel and the Jalisco Cartel, Security Secretary García Harfuch confirmed that the Attorney General's Office is determining what type of explosives were used. The incident was ruled out as terrorism, emphasizing that an investigation is already underway.
In a conference from Los Cabos, President Claudia Sheinbaum was asked about the nature of these violent acts, questioning whether they could be considered as a terrorist act in a broader context. Sheinbaum highlighted the coordination between the federal government, Sedena, the Navy, and the National Guard in investigating the events in Guanajuato.
The issue of violence in Guanajuato in general was also addressed, as well as the escalation of criminal acts in Guerrero. Sheinbaum stated that the violence in Guanajuato is the result of a territorial and drug dispute between criminal groups, downplaying any ideological or religious undertones associated with terrorism.
Omar García Harfuch supported Sheinbaum's stance, clarifying that the confrontation between criminal groups focuses on drug and hydrocarbon sales, without motivations beyond criminal interests. Sheinbaum announced the upcoming presentation of a security report to assess the results by the end of October, focusing on actions to be taken in the fight against violence and organized crime.
