MICHOACÁN — On the first night of November, during Day of the Dead celebrations, the independent, anti-cartel mayor of Uruapan in Michoacán, Carlos Manzo, was assassinated in the heart of his city during a public festival.
How horrid, gutting and heartbreaking for his family and community.
Nayib Bukele knew once he was elected he had no choice to but jail all the gangs and cartels no questions asked and then determine if they are were going to be given death/life sentences or other.
All leadership from the top down has to become accountable and willing to abolish these heartless thugs. Until then, those like Carlos are at great risk as are others who speak up.
Mexico needs to sit with Nayib and make a plan. Otherwise it’s a bit like pulling up weeds in garden.
Mexico is a sovereign nation that cannot resolve major issues with crime. Is sovereignty possible if the government cannot win the battle with cartels? For decades?
In Mexico….. the police are on the take! In Canada it took the RCMP 2 whole years to shut down the drug lab in Falkland B.C. AFTER the USA DEA informed them of its existence.
When ANY country reaches the level of corruption, as in Mexico,,, I do believe there is no recovery. Canada is fast headed in that direction. The drug cartels are in charge.
And in British Columbia B.C. ……the B.C. Prosecution”Service” are shit scared of these drug gangs as they will not prosecute them…… hiding behind their “prosecutorial discretion”
Hey….. not my words… but those of Premier David Eby when he was the Attorney General … after he found out WHY …. 2 prosecutors fled the scene at the door at the doors of the court room …….just before the “biggest money laundering case in B.C. history” was to be heard by a judge.
No …. Sam…….the turfing of the case DID NOT happen months before the court date! You have been fed a red herring on that B.S. Get the info…… the case was against Zhu…. and his illegal bank….. Silver Internstional in Richmond B.C.deemed by CSIS as a national security threat.
Zhu was later murdered in a hit after his case was…..”turfed” by the prosecutors.

It is a long difficult battle.

It is time for an anti-cartel agreement between Mexico, the USA, and Canada to remove the multiple heads of the hydra.
A man of courage. Thank you for your reporting Sam.
