The López Obrador government has been accused of allowing drug trafficking to take over vast areas of Mexican territory in exchange for funding for its campaigns and those of Morena candidates. This has led drug trafficking to expand its business into activities such as extortion and human trafficking. It is claimed that the previous president handed over control of customs and ports to the Army not to stop the illegal crossing of drugs, people, and weapons, but as part of an agreement to obtain loyalty in exchange for benefits.
An article mentions: "The option is tough but clear: either Sheinbaum breaks the pact with the narco or allows new shipments of fentanyl to carry the label Made in Mexico." It is pointed out that since Calderón's government, Mexico has become a country where the narco had influence over the authorities. It has been noted that the current president, Sheinbaum, has conducted more operations against drug trafficking in two months than during López Obrador's entire term.
There are criticisms regarding the alleged relationship between Morena governors and legislators with drug trafficking. It is highlighted that democracy in the country is compromised by this situation. Furthermore, it is mentioned that figures like García Luna pretended to combat drug trafficking, but in reality supported certain cartels over others.
It is reported that the United States has pressured Mexico to break the ties between the government and drug trafficking. The demand to end this relationship has led to calls for national unity. There are detailed complaints about how drug trafficking has influenced elections and various sectors of Mexican society.
The article also addresses the issue of corruption associated with drug trafficking, such as the financing of political campaigns, bribery of officials, and influence in educational and social sectors. It is emphasized that criticism of the government's actions is necessary to improve the situation in the country. Additionally, internal conflicts within the party and accusations of corruption in the current administration are mentioned.
