The Morena government has failed in implementing an effective strategy against crime in Mexico. Furthermore, its unconditional support for controversial figures, such as the governor of Sinaloa, reflects a concerning indifference towards the citizens affected by violence.
The recent murder of two children and their father should be a turning point to demand accountability; however, so far a complicit silence prevails. Mexicans deserve a government that confronts the problem directly, that does not manipulate data, that does not bow to organized crime, and that prioritizes the life and safety of its population.
The lack of government strategies and the relationship of the government with organized crime have contributed to a security crisis that can no longer be hidden. The state of Sinaloa, for example, has become a practically failed territory under the control of drug trafficking, reflecting a huge level of institutional decay.
Despite everything, instead of taking responsibility and decisive action, the Morena party has rallied around the governor of Sinaloa, ignoring the demands for justice from the victims. This complicity or lack of clear opposition sends a negative message, allowing criminal groups to operate freely knowing that authorities will not stop them.
Meanwhile, the government insists on manipulating security statistics to minimize the magnitude of the problem, but the reality of murders, extortions, and disappearances contradicts these triumphalist discourses. The fear on the streets is palpable, and the population has learned to live in constant alert, fearing both criminals and potential complicity of the authorities.
The recent massacre of two children and their father has shocked public opinion, highlighting the lack of security and guarantees in many regions of Mexico. Rampant violence and atrocious crimes are part of daily life for millions of citizens, plunging them into a state of constant fear.
Amidst this bleak landscape, solidarity is present in cases like that of Mafer Turrent, a victim of vicarious violence unjustly imprisoned in a corrupt system that protects aggressors. Demanding justice and freedom becomes an urgent necessity in a country where impunity and insecurity seem to prevail.
It is essential for authorities to act with true responsibility, abandoning the protection of political interests and decisively confronting the insecurity problem. Only then can we start to emerge from this spiral of violence, fear, and helplessness that currently consumes Mexico.
