On February 27, a message on networks from San José de García, Michoacán, by the Jalisco Nueva Generación cartel reminded us that the rivers of blood continue to flow through every cardinal point of our republic.
There is talk of 17 people who were apparently shot, although their bodies have not been found. The residents say that that afternoon was hell, where a mob of thugs came to their small community of about 10,000 inhabitants. That day there were only three police officers, who were apparently deactivated while Alejandro N. “El pelón” was executed, who was the head of the area’s plaza, of the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel (CJNG).
For Ricardo Mejía Berdeja, undersecretary of the Ministry of Public and Citizen Security, everything was due to a settling of accounts within the same criminal group. “That is to say, a difference where there are interests of a personal and family nature between the head of two cells. One that we can locate as Alejandro alias Bald and another Abel alias The bull, both natives of San José de Gracia, with families rooted there. Both belonged to the group known as The Templars and then to Jalisco New Generation Cartel the official said.
What perhaps is striking is that, despite the fact that the people of San José García completely shut themselves up in their homes with obvious general terror, there is officially no data on what happened. That is, no one saw; nobody listened; no one asked the authorities for help.
We continue to live a terrible story of collective fear and our submission to the powerful cartels is perpetual, those who proclaim themselves owners of our peace and security, kneeling before their prevalence and regime of fear.
In the first 72 hours of the Russian attack on Ukraine alone, 256 military and civilian deaths were reported. While in that same period, Mexico registered -officially- 234 intentional homicides, only 22 less than a country facing an assault by one of the most powerful nations on the face of the earth!
unstoppable drug war
One of the “new phenomena” happening this year is that the cartels are cleaning up crime scenes; that is to say, now they are taking the bodies of those killed and they have not appeared. The same was confirmed on the morning of March 1 in the morning conference of President López Obrador, when it was noted that “some machines arrived in the town to completely clean the area (where the alleged massacre was perpetuated)”.
The current administration is becoming the most violent in modern history. Currently, a bloody battle is being waged that has been normalized, but that has several cities in the country hostage. It is about the continuous fight between the Jalisco New Generation cartel and the so-called United Cartels, which have joined forces to limit the power held by Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias “the Mencho”, a fearsome drug trafficker who in narcomantas They assure that he has already died and left no substitute. Situation that the authorities have not denied.
