The possible scenario of an accusation against AMLO for links to drug trafficking would generate various reactions in Mexico. From shock and disbelief to joy or anger in different sectors of society. The idea of the DEA reopening investigations into contributions to political campaigns would become a topic of national relevance, shaking the political foundations of the country.
Among the expected reactions, a scenario emerges where audiovisual and documentary evidence of his associates receiving money for campaigns would come to light. Moreover, controversial episodes such as the release of Ovidio Guzmán at AMLO's request following threats from his brother and the alleged visits to Badiraguato under the protection of the Sinaloa Cartel would resurface in the discussion.
The eventual accusation could trigger reflections on AMLO's relationship with drug trafficking and his stance on it during his tenure. The role of the press, the security strategies implemented, and the political decisions made under his government would be topics of intense discussion in a scenario of such magnitude.
Doubts about the level of popular support for AMLO, the reaction of close authorities, such as the current president, as well as the positioning of political groups like Morena in the event that such accusations were confirmed, would be at the center of public debate. The possible image of Mexico as a narcostate and the international perception of its leaders would be issues that would mark a before and after in the national political landscape.
Amid these questions, the challenge of confronting the new evidence, the revelations, and the possible consequences of being found guilty of the charges posed would leave AMLO and his government in a delicate and critically important situation for the future of the country.
