The retention in Motozintla of Claudia Sheinbaum for group of hooded men and allegedly armedIt wasn't like he said President López Obradora simple act of propaganda or even, as he suggested, a montage.
It is the demonstration of at least two things: first, that the Morena candidate's security team does not work as it should. Claudia is accompanied by a large security device made up mainly of military, and it is inconceivable that it could be blocked in one of the most dangerous regions of the country without anyone reacting. Second, that federal intelligence failed because it was not a spontaneous event and it should have been detected. Third, that the state is in the hands of the criminals: the administration of Rutilio Escandón, long ago left in the hands of the criminal groups control of the state and especially of the southern border.
Is very serious and it is evidently a serious problem of internal security: we are talking about the loss of control of the Mexican State over part of its territories and its borders.
You may like it or not, but Claudia's security failedmust be reviewed and reinforced because there are many areas of the national territory that are in a situation as difficult as that of Motozintla, where the candidate was detained.
In Chiapas the situation is very delicate. We already said days ago in this space that the formation of new criminal groups is nothing more than the expression of different organizations, some armed, that are coming together to confront the Chapitos who have entered the area with blood and fire.
The cartel groups of Chiapas-Guatemala accuse Governor Rutilio Escandón, the Secretary of Government, and the main state security officials, of working for the children of Chapo Guzmán in exchange for large sums of money.
Meanwhile, confrontations between criminal groups continue, with numerous deaths and displaced people without any authority showing up to even confirm it. It is part of the combat that the Chapitos groups are waging with those from Chiapas and Guatemala, backed by the CJNG.
This fight, we said, seems to be, in reality, the background of the one that the Chapitos have been fighting for a long time with Mayo Zambada, which has worsened in recent weeks. Chiapas was always the territory of El Mayo through one of its main operators, Gilberto Rivera Amarillas nicknamed El Tío Gil, who maintained the relationship and control with local and Guatemalan groups, as well as with different authorities, on both sides of the border. When Rutilio Escandón became governor that balance was broken, Uncle Gil was arrested and extradited, his son took over from him and he was murdered along with other of his
operators. And control of the area was left to the Chapitos who defeated the Mayo groups in the state.
The head of the Chapitos in Chiapas is Jesús Esteban Machado, El Güero Pulseras, who imposed quotas on all other local groups, and appropriated the border. They began to be resisted first from Guatemala, but at the same time all these groups were allying to form the Chiapas-Guatemala cartel.
The Sinaloa cartel was able to withstand the war waged against them by the Zetas, Beltrán Leyva and Juárez in the past because they managed to stay united through a sort of triumvirate made up of Chapo Guzmán, Mayo Zambada and Azul Esparragoza. El Chapo is serving a life sentence in the United States; El Azul is assumed to have died of natural causes. El Mayo is free but with reduced personal and operational strength. He is 76 years old, the cartel has been divided and has suffered severe blows. The fact that his son and his brother have become protected witnesses for the DEA and have provided testimony against Chapo in the New York trial has delegitimized him in the eyes of other groups inside and outside the cartel.
The break with what we now know as the CJNG occurred years ago, when it was a group subordinate to Nacho Coronel. Since Coronel's death they grew apart until they broke up. After the deportation of his father, the Chapitos seemed very weak, but they were supported by Mayo and were also helped by the fall of Dámaso López.
But the Chapitos had already become fully involved in a business that very quickly gave them enormous resources: the trafficking of fentanyl to the United States. They opened that market and with those resources they became powerful. Even when it was the culiacanazo, El Mayo joined forces with the Chapitos to stop Ovidio's arrest, but then came the trial of El Chapo, with the participation of the Zambadas as witnesses and everything broke down.
And the war against El Mayo began. All this began in Chiapas at the beginning of the six-year term, there was the first open confrontation, where the Chapitos got rid of the leaders of El Mayo and imposed their own. Chiapas, the land where retaining and threatening a presidential candidate has no cost.
