More about terrorism.
So a big shift occured in this country when the opposition party got elected to power. As the opposition they didn’t really have any power, so it didn’t matter if they ran around in bycicles or non-bulletproof cars.
But the 2018 electoral season was the deadliest in Mexican history, dozens of candidates were murdered or injured throughout it. Even later on some were attacked.
These two last weeks have been the worst by far, a car bomb outside a refinery in Salamanca with a direct threat to the President was found, the mayor of a city in Veracruz was shot, an atempted murder of vocal congressman just happened tonight.
I just wonder if these people could even lead regular lives, or if it’s apporpriate for them to do this.
Popularly, they might want to be seen in regular cars, being more regular people. But if a mayor is murdered, or if a congressman is murdered, or if there’s an attempt on a President...well, the possible consequences are far too high for the few image points they might recieve.
Regardless. I feel like their free trial is over, and they need to start taking security seriously, not only for their sake, but for that of their voters who don’t want their legislators to be dead.
Mexico is experiencing a very strange moment of it’s history right now, and for those that like politics, it’s a great place to observe. How can the most popular president of our history be recieving death threats outside a refinery while the least popular expresident
is with a supermodel in Madrid?

Money dear boy. It’s always about money, usually the ill-gotten kind
. Organized crime doesn’t approve of the newly elected officials, therefore they are being eliminated.

Yup, it was a fuel theft cartel. But it still surprises me because he’s not the first big army fan to govern here
. It's also an unheard of amount of violence with a wreckless amount of disregard for safety.
Felipe Calderon was also very agressive with cartels and it didn’t take him two months in power to recieve a death threat.

Populist or not, they have to suc k it up and accept protection. It’s for the good of the country at this point. Murders and attempts make it look like the other side is winning.

Yes, it also undercuts their message. Obrador says murder is down since he took office... which is absolutely false... it stayed the same!
Trump said it went up 30% this year, but he’s kind of an idiot, it actually went up 15%
Similarly depressive, just a different number.

No, he’s a full blown idiot.
