Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada sent a letter to the General Consulate of Mexico in New York demanding his repatriation or, otherwise, threatening to provoke a 'collapse' that could have repercussions on the bilateral relationship with the United States. The President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, has addressed this situation several times, generating controversy and concern. In the letter, 'El Mayo' Zambada expressed his desire to return to Mexico to avoid the death penalty he faces from the US Government. This request has sparked mixed opinions, with some arguing that it could be an opportunity to clarify issues related to organized crime in the country. Senator Marko Cortés joined the discussion and questioned the Mexican government's stance regarding the drug lord's threat. In his statements, Cortés emphasized the need not to yield to the pressures of a criminal and advocated for a firm stance against crime. In the letter addressed to the General Consulate, Zambada referenced the irregular way he was taken to the United States, mentioning a kidnapping orchestrated by the drug trafficker Joaquín Guzmán Loera. This connection between both drug trafficking leaders has generated concern and expectation regarding the implications of the situation. Internet users have pointed out the lack of cooperation and coordination between Mexico and the United States in the fight against organized crime, highlighting the importance of addressing this issue together. In the face of 'El Mayo's' threat, authorities must take measures to prevent a possible collapse in the bilateral relationship, as Zambada mentioned in his writing. In this context, Claudia Sheinbaum's stance on this situation will continue to be scrutinized and pressured by various political actors and society in general.
