SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 

Mexico City, Mexico - Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, President of Mexico, highlighted on Thursday that there were two homicides in Sinaloa on September 11, contrary to what is mentioned in social networks and some media outlets.

Showing a graph of yesterday's homicides in a 'morning' conference, the federal president took the opportunity to comment:

“There is the Army in coordination with the Navy, the National Guard, the State Police are pending.”

“To tell the people of Culiacán, of Sinaloa, that we are with sufficient presence, to guarantee peace, tranquility,” he commented.

“Yesterday, here is Sinaloa, in the whole state we had two homicides,” he reported.

“I say this about Sinaloa as well, because I saw in some report of I don't know how many deceased and today we saw this report,” he added.

López Obrador considered that the situation that has been occurring in some municipalities of Sinaloa, including the south of the capital city, is being addressed.

“There is fear, but tell the people that we are pending, that so far this is the result and surely it is not because of these clashes, these homicides may be other causes,” he stressed.

“There is fighting between two groups and we have to try to ensure that it does not affect the population and also that they do not confront each other,” he explained.

“Is it related to the 'El Mayo' Zambada thing?” he was asked.

“Yes, I already said it is a matter that has to do with a confrontation of (criminal) groups,” he reiterated.

AMLO lashes out at media that 'magnify' violent events

AMLO called to avoid alarmism and sensationalism, especially from conservative media that magnify the facts in this and other states.

“In the case of Sinaloa is there are enough elements from the Secretary of Defense, the National Guard, everything also so that there is no alarmism, sensationalism, because the conservative media or those who do not like us, make everything bigger, they magnify it, before there were even pacts of silence,” he opined.

“As they are angry with me, they would like the country to go up in flames, they see the social networks, the newspapers and it is like the old Alarma”, he pointed out.

EL PANU 

Rumors ran wild on Wednesday throughout social media, especially on X about the death of Oscar Noe Medina Gonzalez "El Panu", I want to state this news is false, fake, and erroneous. This news was started by a specific X account which I will not name out of respect and the Blog Del Narco news page ran with it and spread like wildfire.
