At the beginning of the last term, the strategy 'hugs, not bullets' caused confusion among the population, but today, observing the actions of the former president, the government of the United States has concluded that the Mexican government has an alliance with organized crime, which is extremely serious. The Head of Government, Claudia Sheinbaum, is not in conflict with former U.S. President Donald Trump and his views, but with the internal structure of the Mexican government.
One of the difficulties facing the current Mexican president is the lack of trusted personnel in key positions within her government. Her predecessor still holds influence over many bureaucratic loyalties, which complicates the swift resolution of security issues.
Sheinbaum needs to strengthen her most loyal collaborator, Omar García Harfuch, so that he can fulfill his duties supported by the armed forces, something that has been hindered so far by the interests of third parties who do not wish for García Harfuch's success. This lack of control is evident not only in the security sector but extends throughout the federal administration, complicating operations in various areas.
Unlike the previous term, the current president shows intentions to address the problems, motivated in part by external pressures. The situation is complicated with the election in Sinaloa, where possible cartel intervention in the electoral process has been indicated.
Accusations of a possible alliance between the Mexican government and organized crime have led to a debate about the influence of these groups in the political and social life of the country. The allegations from the United States have been denied by the Mexican government, which has tried to divert attention by pointing to the responsibility of U.S. arms in the problem.
It is evident that a change in governmental management is required to effectively address the situation, avoiding conflicts of interest and strengthening key institutions. Citizen collaboration and decisive action from the authorities are essential to overcoming this issue that affects the security and stability of the nation.
