After several days of violence, with executions and armed attacks, the people who live in Culiacán, Sinaloa, are angry and frustrated. This was stated by journalist Carlos Loret de Mola on Wednesday night in his news program on the Latinus media outlet.
“There have been ten days of executions, confrontations, narco-blockades, parents who do not send their children to school out of fear, businesses that do not open out of fear, restaurants that open, but no one goes out of fear, public transportation trucks that do not run their routes out of fear, there are shortages in supermarkets because they hijack cargo trucks and use them in narco-blockades, gas stations open later and close earlier so as not to expose workers to the most desolate hours of violence, which begins with terror, turns into frustration and ends up being anger, because of the impotence of seeing an absent government, with its arms crossed and in denial of a reality that citizens are living,” says Loret de Mola.
He wonders why President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), who has suspiciously gone on tour to Sinaloa so many times, is not going now. “Why doesn’t he go now? Why doesn’t he walk the streets of Culiacán, why doesn’t he talk to the people? Let’s see if he goes and dares to tell them that everything is an invention of the media, that it’s an exaggeration, that things are calm.”
He recalls that Sinaloa is Obradorista, due to the recent numbers of the elections. “How has López Obrador responded to this political loyalty of the people of Sinaloa? Minimizing what is happening.”
He explains that last Wednesday, in his morning press conference, in an act that he described as “even cruel,” López Obrador took out the “abacus of the dead.” “His accounting is to say that Sinaloa is not so bad, that there are more deaths in Guanajuato, why nobody talks about it, and all because Morena governs in Sinaloa, and the opposition governs in Guanajuato.”
He says that fighting organized crime is not the primary responsibility of the governors, but of the Federal Government. “Is the president comfortable with there being more deaths in Guanajuato than in Sinaloa? That Guanajuato is not part of Mexico? The failure of security in Sinaloa is the failure of López Obrador, just as the failure of security in Guanajuato is the failure of López Obrador. Since he assumed the presidency, López Obrador had Guanajuato in his sights, he, who complains so much that former president Calderón kicked the hornet’s nest with his strategy against drug trafficking, what did he do in Guanajuato as soon as he came to power? Kick the hornet’s nest,” he points out.
This, because he says, he declared war against the huachicol that had its base in Guanajuato. He assures that he launched it without a plan or a strategy and left the country without gasoline, so that later it was revealed, by international media, that the war against huachicol was a “cover”, because the government had forgotten to import gasoline and there was no gasoline to distribute. “That is why they made up the whole story of closing the pipelines.”
He assures that currently there are more clandestine taps for the theft of fuel, than in 2019, the year in which the war against huachicol was declared. “So López Obrador heated up Guanajuato and then abandoned Guanajuato to blame everything on the opposition. How many times did the president visit Sinaloa in his six-year term? 24. How many times did he visit Guanajuato? Only 10,” says the journalist.
