The Mexican government's actions against organized crime are sparking disputes, but the business sector hopes for a calming of the situation. A business leader described the recent arrest of one of the most powerful drug traffickers in Mexico's history as a 'valid' action that upholds the law, though it generates temporary side effects. He emphasized that the border economy has shown resilience and that confronting these issues is better than ignoring them. While the operation negatively impacted the country's image and tourism, the leader believes the image is recovering. The priority remains coordination between the government and the private sector to prevent a resurgence of violence that could disrupt the region's tourism and commerce.
