The Narco State
is one of the most recent meanings to define the structure where organized
crime has become the government and the politicians, governors, and drug traffickers
are all the same. It isn’t about the
infiltration or the corruption, but of the symbiosis of these last two figures
in which all of the power is concentrated and they function to control a
territory with the laws of violence and terror.
This is what has
happened more clearly in Michoacán and Guerrero than in other states in the
last decade, under the apathy of governors and political parties who don’t care
about the conditions of violence and the safety of the population that suffers havoc
caused by an unconventional war, but only care about staying in power at all
costs.
For decades, we have witnessed the merger or
symbiosis between politicians and drug traffickers with the cases of former
governors of Quintana Roo, Mario Villanueva Madrid; Tamaulipas, Tomás Yarrington;
Morelos, Sergio Estrada Cajigal, and long before with Enrique Álvarez del
Castillo in Jalisco or Víctor Manuel
Tinoco in Michoacán.
Also with
generals Jesús Gutiérrez Rebollo, Ricardo Escorcia, Cuauhtémoc Antúnez Pérez,
head of the 7th Military Region in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas; Juan
Manuel Rico Gámez, Commander of the 35th Military Zone based in
Chilpancingo, Guerrero; Roberto Aguilera, retired Major General and head of the
Narcotics Intelligence Center (CIAN) during the administration of Vicente Fox;
Luis Rodríguez Bucio, head of CIAN during the early presidency of Felipe
Calderón and former commander of the 64th Military Garrison in
Cancún, Quintana Roo, and Brigadier General Moisés García Ochoa, former
director of the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA).
No legislators and mayors escape such as
the PRD representative Julio César Godoy Toscano, who is currently a fugitive; the
mayor of Ixtapan de la Sal, Ignacio Ávila Navarrete; the PRI mayor of
Apatzingán Uriel Chávez Mendoza; Aldo
Macías Alejandres (PRI-PVEM), the Major of Uruapan;
Gildardo Barrera (PRI), the major of
Churumuco; Arquímides Oseguera (PRD), of Lázaro Cárdenas; Martín Arredondo
(PAN), of Jacona; Jesús Infante (PAN), of Ecuandureo; Juan Hernández (PRI), of Aquila;
Jesús Rivera (PRI), of Tumbiscatío; Rosa Hilda Abascal (PAN), of Zamora, and
Elías Álvarez Hernández, former Secretary of Public Security of the state of
Michoacán.
The list goes
on, and it’s long. The Narco State was
forming for years in an environment of corruption, impunity and injustice;
cultivated by governors of all parties to the levels we have today with its
terrible consequences such as the 2010 San Fernando Massacre; the executions in
Tlatlaya; or the recent disappearances of the normalistas of Ayotzinapa.
In the Narco
State, the new group in power, the narco-politicians, control territory to
establish their own empire of taxation, extortions, and kidnappings; its own
economy with laws of the global market, with partners from other groups in
other countries who not only sell drugs, but other agricultural products such
as precious metals, minerals, and hydrocarbons.
Its own law.
That’s what we
clearly see in Michoacán and Guerrero, the formation of the Narco State, where
the two governors, Ángel Aguirre Rivero and Fausto Vallejo (former governor),
have been accused of receiving money for their campaigns by organized crime and
then allowing criminal gangs to rule and control the territory above everyone,
and with the collusion of all other authorities.

I just read on the forum about osorio chong proposing that the "los rojos gang that extort piso from los guerreros unidos were the ones who kidnapped the students", that on top of pena nieto saying the problems in guerrero "are local", and el pri protecting the priista mayor abarca and priista governor rivero posing as prd to give the prd party a bad name...
ReplyDelete--Just how many more fairy tales are we supposed to believe?
--Michoacan Autodefensas ARE local, why did el pendejo nazional send otro pendejo there to mess up something that was under control?
Bunch of bullshit. Every state in mexico is a narco state not just michoacan or guerrero.!!
ReplyDeleteShining a light on what most Mexicans already know, the USA is too gullible at this point in time to realize the same. Banks and special interests have perfected the layering of people and business to know who the real players are.
ReplyDeletethe drug industry is 94 yrs old in mexico, with well established contacts over the whole political spectrum, So it will be interesting to see if that way of life can be changed, the normal approach is to provide some kind of alternative income such as establishing of factory's or other types of employment. people need to live give the chance
ReplyDeleteBlame it on the sinaloans there the ones who came up with narcopolitica there the ones who brang the plague they turned everyone else into narco states. Try and mess with sinaloa politicians and see where you end up there a plague Im telling you there worser than the cartels and they Will forever live in that society along with other narco states and narco politicos it will never end.
ReplyDeletePor que a sinaloa..tal ves si hay algo de rason pero asi no se opera en sinaloa.. Quien recuerda cuando levantaron a 50 trabajadores del empaque creo era el gato de lara que era propiedad de los carrillos casi junto cuando quemaron a cruz carrillo... Se levanto a 50 trabajadores de campo. Normalmente prosedentes del sur del pais .. Cuando se dieron cuenta que eran solo eso los liberaron..
DeleteDrug traffickng and drug addiction was more or less manageable on the US, and on mexico, until the heroin trafficked on air america from south-east asia was changed for cocaine from south america, thanks to henry kissinger klaus barbie, oliver north, felix ismael rodriguez, juan ramon matta ballesteros, the CIA, and george hw bush among many others...
