Mexico City, Mexico - Andrés Manuel López Obrador, president of Mexico, considers that the United States is co-responsible for the ongoing insecurity in Sinaloa, due to the arrangement for the capture of Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada. Is the United States in some way co-responsible for the violence in Sinaloa,” he was asked from afar in a ‘morning’ conference this Thursday.
“Yes, of course it is (sic) for having carried out that operation,” he responded.
“Nothing more than for them (the United States) to internationalize that they can't act like that, without taking the Mexican government into account,” he declared.
“That cannot be accepted,” he said.
Regarding the weight or influence of the upcoming U.S. presidential elections, the federal president limited himself to saying:
“What I can say is that there was an agreement, and due to that agreement, which we still do not know what it consisted of, under what conditions the agreement was made, it caused us in Sinaloa the confrontation that is taking place, which I hope because we are acting that soon there will be a return to normality”.
“I believe that they had been working on this for some time and they reached an agreement, in fact, they themselves have accepted, the Justice Department,” he said.
When asked if the case of García Luna is related to this agreement with the US authorities, AMLO pointed out:
“Yes, there is an interrelationship because before (previous governments) did not ask permission (US) for anything, then they went to the extreme that they trained in the United States, elements of the Navy to apply the policy of the US government in Mexico, in matters of security, from the US embassy they gave instructions so that the Mexican Army would act, it is public knowledge”.
AMLO considers the implementation of the operation for the surrender or capture of 'El Mayo' Zambada to be incorrect.
“It cannot be correct (the operation) because they murdered people, it was totally illegal and agents from the Justice Department (in the US) were waiting for Mr. 'Mayo', first there was violence, there were some people who lost their lives, well the former rector (Héctor Melesio Cuén) of the University (UAS) and then the aftermath of what is happening now (in Sinaloa),” he answered to a specific question.
“Of course the loss of a life is the saddest and most regrettable thing, but in their conception that life is not worth anything, what benefits, how does it (Zambada's arrest) help to stop the problem of drug addiction in the United States? In other words, with objectivity, with realism,” he questioned, reiterating that in the neighboring country the causes of drug addiction are neglected.
López Obrador recalled Julio Scherer's interview, in which 'El Mayo' assured that if he was captured or killed, there would be another to replace him, so the drug trafficking problem would not end.
López Obrador expects more information and 'an explanation' from the US on the arrest of 'El Mayo' Zambada
Previously AMLO was asked about the pending report with the details of the agreement for the arrest of 'El Mayo' Zambada.
To this, the chief executive stated that they are still waiting for the report from the U.S. government.
“It is that the Attorney General's Office (General of the Republic) has not received all the information on this matter, they made an agreement and did not inform us, and according to the Attorney General's Office the Justice Department was carrying out with one of the crime groups in Sinaloa, and they had agreements, they even released or gave a different status to one of the detainees (Ovidio Guzman) in the United States, at the same time they took another character (Zambada Garcia),” he explained.
“And that requires an explanation, because if we are now facing an unstable situation of confrontation in Sinaloa, it is because they made that decision and we do not agree that Mexico should be ignored, because we have the problem here,” he accused.
“Of course we are facing it, we are solving it, but in Sinaloa there was not the violence that there is now, nor is it as it is thought that it is completely out of control,” he insisted.
“But we have had to take special measures and move elements of the Armed Forces, and we have also lost officers who have been killed because of this special, extraordinary situation, because it is not the same when the Mexican state intervenes as when there is a completely irregular matter, when someone is kidnapped through an agreement and taken to the United States,” he explained.
AMLO questions the motives of the agreement for the delivery of 'El Mayo' and Joaquín Guzmán
The federal president questioned the real reason for the agreement that led to the capture of 'El Mayo' Zambada and Joaquín Guzmán López, son of Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán.
“That (the implementation of the operation) does not convince us and we are asking for information, what was the agreement? And the cause to see that some people are of course dedicated to drug trafficking and the others as well,” he commented.
“And thinking about it this way, if it is really to avoid drug trafficking and that fentanyl continues to enter from Mexico, as it enters from Canada as it also enters directly to the United States, but let's see if it was that or if it was a decision taken as always, to demonstrate that the problem of fentanyl consumption is being taken care of just for propaganda,” he argued.
“What about us, the situation in Mexico?” he questioned.
“We don't see a plan that addresses the causes,” he said in reference to the drug addiction crisis in the United States.
He took the opportunity to reiterate the comparison of traditions in Mexican and U.S. families in terms of children in their youth.
AMLO assures that there is a respectful relationship with the U.S.
“In the case of the United States the relationship has to be good, for geopolitical reasons, because of the border 3,180 kilometers, 40 million Mexicans live, work for hours in the United States (sic) are sending to their brothers in Mexico 65 billion dollars, it is the main source of income in our country,” he said.
“We have to maintain a relationship of respect, of good neighborliness with the United States, the only thing is that it is understood that we are an independent country”, he stated.
Na na no sea mamon peje, nomas dice eso para que a la otra le avizen, haganlo de nuevo con ivan, Alfredo, y nemesio. Ya despues el flaco.
ReplyDeleteAMLO should tell cartels no bullets only hugs. A Mexican president on Mayo side, what else is new.
ReplyDeleteAMLO don't wanna go to prison and lose all of his hugs or have his accounts frozen.
ReplyDeleteI saw a photograph of AMLO on Borderland Beat accepting an envelope from El Chapo’s Mom, from a car window that she was inside of???? Hmmm was up in the mountains there somewheres in Mexico. Stuck in my mind, his Mom looked a bit like my great Aunt Zephyr.
DeleteELMO smokes fentanyl.
ReplyDeleteHes smoking on something
DeleteElmo does not need to stick his neck anymore. He will be out of office soon.
DeleteNo more work. New president won't want a grampa running the show anymore.
Smoking culo de sapo
DeleteHe smokes jenkem 💩 lol.
DeleteTodays words is ICE MOCHA
DeleteI feel stupid because ICE MOCHA lotta weed!!!

That's like when your boss gets mad at you when the job is taking longer to get done because your apprentices don't show up.

ReplyDeleteNo te haces elmo, tu estás !!!
ReplyDeleteAhí están tus derechos humanos y tú tibieza
Ahí esta tu rencor con el EjeMx cuando te golpeaban cuando eras guerrillero y alebrestador en Tabasco
This guy's the MOST irresponsible and Stupid excuse for a president. He doesn't Do Anything... All he does is Blame other countries. No wonder Mexico will NEVER get better
ReplyDelete12:26 PM
DeleteMany here agree with this fool AMLO
Sad but true. 50% burro, 50% crook.
Delete1:30 well that might be the problem right there. Not the president but the people are dumb backwoods Indians that should still be riding horses and living in teepees
Delete12:26 you are uneducated nobody. Worry about your own advancement
DeleteI always suspected most of the people here are retarded. But all the people that insisted mayo made a deal when the evidence showed otherwise really sealed the deal for me.
DeleteAs long as he is giving the viejitos their pension all these deaths are ok with peoples. Pan y circos pa la gente
DeleteHe also sucks putins dick
DeleteGood for him, calling the US government for the bitches that they are. How are those WMD in Iraq coming along? US needs to take care of their own people but since there really is no money in that, they will mind in other countries affairs. P.S. a lot of dumb comments on here but can someone give me the cliff notes on semper Fi and his Michacano's "stacking" rant...? How'd that come about?
ReplyDelete'US government for the bitches'
DeleteWho is the bitch again?Where are you writing from?The U.S. False claimers are the worst bitches
Lolz
Delete@1236
DeleteEither a disgruntled deportee or sitting in traffic trying to get to work on the 405.
12:36 Semper Fi foo. Greetings from the Pashtun & Punjabis wey.
DeleteSee you on the front lines, bitch. Slava Israel. Slava Ukraini!
Haha writing from the safety of the big ole USA!!!!
Delete12:36
DeleteWMD was almost two decades ago, get with the times at least.
@12:36
DeleteIt behooves ELMO to tread very carefully with his words when grandstanding against the US lest he finds himself on the receiving end of investigations against corrupt officials once his presidency is over. In the end, whether we like it or not, the one with the biggest balls in geopolitics is the one with the most power.
Did it ever occur to you that he's doing damage control?
DeleteEste cabron que ya vaya, afera no mas "hugs ye kisses". Ya basta no molested papa Smurf.
ReplyDeleteDeja la mujer que halga su travajo.
es porque: AMLO no tienes besos y hugs para mi.
DeleteAMLO and the Mexican Government should ask for the extradition of EL MAYO back to Mexico. Since it was done illegally.
ReplyDeleteDamn full thinking like a Republican.
DeleteIt was done by a criminal to bring a criminal to the USA.
I said that, too!!! Illegal immigration.
Deletethere's no way they are gonna fall for that again after cienfuegos
Delete12;55 there you go believing everything AMLO says. The US government was not involved, up until they landed on US soil.
DeleteToo bad AMLO can't play the Cienfuegos trick on US again. Sorry mijo no loopholes will be found this time.
They should ask for el moreno, he abducted mayo. Asking for mayo means asking for more bribes.
DeleteLMAO AMLO
ReplyDelete@ 1:00 LOL I see what you did there
DeleteAMLO's got a long wait if he thinks a "report" from the States is forthcoming!
ReplyDeleteThe same way the US quickly retracted on Cienfuegos is the same way Mexico could make the US quickly return Mayo but the truth is they probably don’t care as much . They will remind the US to payback that favor later on in a different situation .
DeleteAny of you fools need any more proof about AMLO
ReplyDeleteJust that photo of him standing by Chapo’s Mom’s car…..
Delete@1.29. "Any more proof"? What "proof" are you talking about?
DeleteThere is a badly timed leak for political purposes that shows how weak US diplomatic leverage is, nothing else. The US knew Vicente Fox was taking money for stability, but his policies suited US business interests so they kept quiet. Calderons concessions to the US allowed private companies to rob entire states while they knew all along that Garcia Lunas men were taking millions, so they let it happen. Nieto took millions. All of this has been tracked, and testimony given under oath.
Compare that with AMLO- The US leaked that an investigation had once looked in to the possibility that traffickers had targeted one of his campaign backers? It's embarrassing.
J cat
DeleteALMO is the biggest clown of Mexico.
DeleteWhen the cards line up for Elmo he’ll end up seeking refuge with shorty Putin or another communist country.
ReplyDeleteThis headline is so stupid. It was a bit more nuanced than that. And I'm not shooting the messenger Char.
ReplyDeleteAmlo needs to accept the fact the the US owns Mexico. His little hissy fits make the DEA laugh in their beer. Shut up Elmo.
ReplyDeleteEstupido calling him "mr mayo" pinche ojete pendejo
ReplyDeleteHe refers to everyone as "Señor" or "El joven" if they are younger than he. I don't think it's out of respect, it's how he was raised... which by the way, says alot about the language you use.
DeleteELMO is absolutely shameless.
ReplyDeleteHe's right in his own right. The U.S has admitted that they were negotiating with Guzman months prior to their arrest. What those negotiations entailed is between Guzman and the U.S. Now given the U.S's history in meddling in foreign countries internal affairs, I wouldn't be surprised if U.S mercenaries were present at that meeting where Chapito met with Mayo and Cuen was murdered. I'm crossing my fingers hoping Rocha will be tried for treason in Mexico. Is the U.S responsible for what's occurring in Sinaloa? In part, because again, as the U.S admitted, they were negotiating with Guzman.
DeleteI have a legit question now. Since Mayo wasn’t extradited using the legal means and basically the US “ apprehended “ him. Could he be subject to death penalty since he wasn’t extradited and doesn’t have to go by those laws extradited people do ?
ReplyDeleteYes, if he would've fought his case in Texas, but that's why he requested it be moved to New York. From my understanding, New York does not practice capital punishment.
Delete12:28 both cases are federal ones which has that but no federal prisoner has been executed since 2021. He was charged with several possible death penalty murders in the Texas indictment, and we now know "El Jaguar" is a cooperating witness. The NY indictment is mainly drug trafficking/fentanyl and related charges.
DeleteThese comments by AMLO clearly demonstrates that he was in Mayo's pocket. If you didn't know who Mayo was you'd be thinking he was talking about his best friend. He is right about one thing. Mayo's capture changes nothing. The flow of drugs into the U.S will continue and might increase because Mayito Flaco will increase fentanyl productivity to fuel and fund his war on Chapitos. Mayo's capture is nothing but a trophy for the U.S and to brag to it's citizens that they are making progress. Nuff Said!!!
ReplyDeleteMayos capture changes nothing? Uh, look at the violence that has been unleashed as a result. 40+ homicides in less than 2 weeks.
DeleteAMLO is absolutely correct. Even the State department has stated that they had been negotiating with Chapos son for months prior to turning himself in. I wouldnt doubt if the U.S had some U.S mercenaries involved in the capture of El Mayo... the U.S has always been guilty of destabilizing nations around the world. Look at Ukraine and Isreal for example. Here you are, funding those wars with your tax payer money whether you agree or not.
ReplyDeleteNo Mamés
ReplyDeleteAmlo is on mencho side now
ReplyDeleteWell, yeah AMLO is upset, cause the US not MX now controls CDS, they have their 2 leaders under wraps, many prominent figures, direct line of contact with current leaders, and most importantly a Mossad trained tier 1 operative by name of Sicario 006 who trained the Anthrax and puts out fires with his ass gas.
ReplyDeleteI am glad AMLO is asking the obvious question that has been overlooked since Nancy Reagan has the “this is your brain on drugs” commercial. WTF are we doing to address supply? Our prison, arma and defense industrial complex have continued to get their mouths more securely around Uncle Sam’s nipples but what has current drug policy done for our society and Mexico’s beyond creating the evolution of hyper- violence?
ReplyDeleteWell he’s right .
ReplyDeleteDrug and addiction epidemics in major Mexican cities and rural Mexico , is THE worst it has EVER been . Culturally Mexicans ignore alcoholism and or addiction .
ReplyDeleteAMLO will get all the information he needs in his indictments
ReplyDeletePinche viejillo mamon por todo se queja. Y todavía con sus abrazos y no balazos. Se encabrona porque USA detiene al Mayo pero el nunca mando a su gobierno a que lo hiciera ellos mismos
ReplyDeleteSi no lo iso fue por evitar lo que ahora esta sucediendo in Sinaloa a consequencias de los gringos.
DeleteBetween this idiot and the army general who said they can’t stop anything, what a shame of a country.
ReplyDeleteChilango power 💪💪💪💪
ReplyDeleteAccording to the usa the best Mexican presidents have been, luis cheverria,carlos salinas,Ernesto zedillo, chente fox, felipe calderon,Enrique peňa nieto to the rest of the world have been Benito juarez,Lazaro cardenas,and AMLO trakas hijo spm
ReplyDeleteELMO needs a PhD in word salads. The way he is able to draw out a response while going in endless circles is amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt's like sitting and waiting an hour for grandpa to get to the punchline of a joke but then messing it up and having to start over.
Yeah I will give u more he said no journalist or politicians were killed on his watch!! 47 journalists were killed so far he’s got a few more days!!Biden Amlo dumb ASSES siempre!!🇲🇽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇲🇽💩💩💩💩💩
ReplyDeletelol so long as there are boys with arms in Mexico, fingers will continue to be pointed..
ReplyDeleteAMLO needs to shut his pie hole. When MX public officials make these type of stupid announcements it only goes to prove the cartel is the one pulling his strings. Shut up and go make your straw hats you little puppet!
ReplyDeleteBest president of Mexico in 100 years
ReplyDeleteI do blame the use for the way Mexico is tho supplying them with the weapons thinking they are working with them to take the main head away and let the other fight the positions and plazas but that's how they work
ReplyDeleteDEA is the biggest CARTEL in the world.
