Businessmen called on the Government of Mexico and state authorities to address the violence experienced in Baja California, Chihuahua, Colima, Guanajuato, Guerrero, Jalisco, Michoacán, Sinaloa, Sonora and Tamaulipas, in a statement issued by the Confederation of National Chambers of Commerce, Services and Tourism (Concanaco Servytur).
“We cannot allow organized crime to take control of the streets, extort money from our affiliates, force businesses to close and set businesses and vehicles on fire, acts that were replicated in different entities in a similar way and simultaneously, which demonstrates an articulation of crime, which is even perceived by foreign visitors as terrorist acts, which put the social stability of Mexicans at risk,” said Héctor Tejada Shaar, president of the business organization, through a statement.
