The Secretary of the Navy, Admiral José Rafael Ojeda Durán, responded this Thursday to the statements of the opposition presidential candidate, Xochitl Galvezwho expressed that fentanyl and weapons continue to enter Mexico.
“With all due respect to the Navy, the Navy has not worked, nor have they put an end to corruption and the only thing they have done is turn into a problem what was not a problem before,” the representative of the PAN, PRI, said in Tijuana on Wednesday. and PRD, who proposed modernizing border crossings.
“The weapons keep coming in, Fentanyl continues to enter as if the Navy did not exist. So, in that sense, we are going to work hard hand in hand with resources. Because now it turns out that it is more complicated to enter Mexico than to enter the United States.”
This Thursday, at the morning press conference of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, from Mexicali, Baja California, the admiral secretary was questioned about the statements of the presidential candidate of the Fuerza y Corazón por México coalition.
“With reference to your question, it is said that fentanyl and weapons enter very easily, first of all, because they do not value our work. And the situation is that if they have evidence, they should present it,” Ojeda said.
The agency presented a video in the morning, to show what has been seized not only of fentanyl, but of other drugs, in the work carried out daily by the Armed Forces, the Army, the Navy and the National Guard.
Ojeada mentioned that even some state and municipal police are in the operation against drug trafficking.
The secretary evaded the question about whether the candidate's statements were political issues, but insisted that if she has evidence, she should present it.
“It's very simple, not just accusing for the sake of accusing,” he said.
