AMLO's 6-Year Presidential Term Has Been Mexico's Deadliest

 "Socalj" for Borderland Beat


AMLO tasked the armed forces with building infrastructure and ensuring public safety. His term will end with newly constructed transport hubs, hotels and a museum, and more than 170,000 murders.

That was the headline from an April 2024 Bloomberg article. With now former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador term officially at an end, the number of murders in Mexico during his 6-year term is over 186,000; the highest of any Mexican presidents years in office.


From the day AMLO took office as president on December 1, 2018 until August 31 of this year, 186,380 Mexicans have been murdered. September has yet to be calculated and has seen a dramatic uptick in violence in several areas like Sinaloa, Guerrero, Oaxaca and Chiapas.

Since the Revolution and the Cristero War, Mexico has never seen a government with so many murders, so much violence and so many parts of the country in the hands of criminals and drug traffickers.

While methods for counting murders during Enrique Peña Nieto’s PRI administration and Felipe Calderón’s PAN regime was different from the one used by the AMLO government; the increase by over 50% from previous presidents is well beyond any variances.

From different sources, 121,683 murders occurred under Calderón and 124,478 under Peña Nieto. AMLO’s strategy, the so-called 'Hugs not Bullets' was based on attacking some of the causes behind the violence: poverty, a lack of jobs and opportunities. “Peace is the fruit of justice,” he would say.


While this was the rhetoric that won AMLO the highest office in Mexico, it never found its way into practice. The homicide rates year over year did begin to drop however. In 2019 there were 34,723 murders, and in 2023 the number dropped to 29,710.

Mexico last year had many more murders (29,710) than the United States (18,854), according to the Gun Violence Archive. The US population is 2.5 times bigger than Mexico’s.

During his government 47 journalists have been murdered, according to the non-government organization Articulo 19. The same number as during the Peña Nieto administration.

AMLO, who in 2010 said the army “cannot resolve the problem of the lack of security” has now militarized Mexico, put soldiers to work on civilian issues and was able to put over 10,000 members of the GN National Guard under military control after being created as a civilian led national force.

This militarization has brought many more deaths than in other 6-year terms. There were at least 5,446 femicides and there are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of disappearances with clandestine graves being discovered often.

By the government’s conservative estimate, 113,000 people remain missing in Mexico, many of them victims of criminal groups, state security forces, or both.

While supporters credit AMLO with dramatic reductions in poverty through policies such as increasing the minimum wage, labour reforms, and welfare payments, critics accuse him of eroding democratic oversight and failing to address rights abuses and insecurity.

Militarized National Guard

Last Wednesday, Mexico’s Senate passed a controversial bill placing the National Guard, previously under nominal civilian control, in the hands of the military.

Anyone in the National Guard will be subject only to military justice, with their own tribunals, the military justice system’s prosecutors, and decisions and sentences that will not be made public.

The military, through its operational control of the National Guard, will likely have a certain degree of veto power over security decisions by civilian leaders.

Mexico allocates substantial resources to combat organized crime, including an annual defense budget of nearly $10 billion, and the deployment of over 200,000 military personnel for public security tasks.


Sheinbaum & Mexico's Future

With his Morena Party securing supermajorities in Congress and Sheinbaum preparing to take his place, the outgoing president’s most enduring legacy could be the realignment of Mexican politics that has taken place under his watch.

“For about two decades before Lopez Obrador, several parties were in power and no party had complete control of Congress. Now Lopez Obrador’s party has been able to establish a supermajority,” said Piccato. “That’s something new, and a lot of people are very concerned about that.”

Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo was the Mayor of Mexico City, succeeding AMLO in that same position. During her tenure as mayor, she halved homicides in the capital city, in large part by relying on civilian policing, bolstering the police’s investigative capacity, incentivizing cooperation with prosecutors, and sharing intelligence with U.S. law enforcement agencies.

There are signs that she may continue these policies as President. She has appointed her Mexico City security chief, Omar García Harfuch, as security minister (albeit with decreased powers). Harfuch was the victim of an attempted assassination by CJNG gunmen. She has promised to create a new national intelligence agency and binational working groups on security issues, signaling a potential shift towards more sophisticated policing strategies and an emphasis on targeted operations.

Still, some speculate that her security stance will continue AMLO’s militarized strategy. Sheinbaum has pledged to maintain the armed forces’ prominent role in public security, indicating that she may fall into the same trap as AMLO: public rhetoric of reform but punitive policies in practice.

Additionally, deterring criminal violence requires sweeping reforms to the judicial system, which currently resolves only 1% of crimes.

Judicial Reform

“The regime of corruption and privileges each day is being left farther in the past and a true democracy and true rule of law are being built,” Sheinbaum, Lopez Obrador’s successor, said in a social media post celebrating the passage of the judicial reforms.

The most contentious by far was a constitutional change that will make judges stand for election.

Critics said the move will politicise the judiciary and erode democratic checks and balances, while supporters argued it will make judges more accountable to the people.

    9. Politics is a mix of having a good gag reflex, that watching it for any extended amount of time will draw out disgust and contempt, but especially when it comes to societal ills like this, is our duty to have a deep understsnding that's made an educated decision about what it supports, or refuses to do so out of an equally deliberated freely thought through reason that is hopefully logical or practical, though we all know both of our democratically liberal constitutions award all adult citizens one vote, our choice. So it seems to me your attractive president (I'm smitten, freely admit it, LOVE strong women who still retain that femininity, but I'll shut up I'm fantasizing now.) has two possible outcomes.

      First she combines cutting edge spy tech likely from CIA/NSA, with the militaristic policy further beefed up and they find strategic lynch pin cartel members whose elimination cause the worst kind of damage, leave organizations crippled and reeling, probably slowly but surely arrest/transfer to the USA all the real bosses . Her making reference to employing new technologies could be a game changer, as we've seen what Israel is doing to Hezbollah, creepy fear building for anything smart, because they can hack it.

      Second she's doubling down on a well known death increasing strategy, militarization of the law enforcement, which my USA has easily proven to be not worth the trade offs, because law enforcement itself starts to see fellow civilians as enemy combatants, not fellow citizens they're protecting even if that means from themselves. We both countries obviously need superior large special forces type SWAT w/excellent everything be it armor, sniper rifles, drones, you name it, and at least at the same levels of force they expect to face, so the very best. These forces can be called when necessary, but the entire force? Nope. The rest are civic servants our taxes pay.

      Anywho, and this second ending, the more likely, is that whatever happens won't be serious enough, underfunded and still very much corrupted, because beating the Cartels for real is a fool's errand if you want keep breathing, not spend your eternity looking for it coming. That particular reason, something that anyreal man would say that's one of the most important reasons that it must be done. That's why I hope whoever is spearheading the operation is smart, employs the lynch pin theory I mentioned, which is very much a well used tool in well funded USA operations, this next generation stuff, AI coming online already targeting law enforcement and already used by the military is frighteningly good too. But I just don't see it until I do happening, but this political stuff is ridiculously important, because AMLO had FIFTY THOUSAND more murders than Nieto! That's ridiculous, wrong, and any government bending a knee to the people doing it shouldn't win theit vote, then people should make it 100% clear regaining control, their damned respect and duty allowing it to persist. That's callec having some balls and some brains, and recognizing being voted into a leadership role demands ultimate authority that wouldn't think of sharing it with the very worst among them. That's strength, and who wants to be ruled by weakness, and that's wrong weakness at that. Not me, not nobody; the things that are stopping this, ugh; are legion. Why I get good and high, smoking Thai extract this moment, well before I read my politics, definitely makes it easier to compartmentalize the bullshit.

    4. AMLO changed the policies alright, but that wasn't just to make it more clear to trace/identify. It also was designed to make it practically impossible to get on the list, a battle to prove some people were in fact missing that absolutely are as all the ones I saw/read mentioned their nearly 100% of the time mother, who usually knows a great deal about their often violent abductions, never being seen nor heard from again, some even with witnesses other evidence, but with these women it's also to be taken off the list. The people doing the confirmation had an actual team operation to sweep as many off the list as they could and did, and even remember some again mothers who took phone calls like these, passed the test to keep their missing loved ones on the list, than discovered they'd been removed! There's no reason to not believe there's been at minimum 300,000 murders, and I've seen liberal guesses in that range, which I see as very credible. That's some frightening dam stuff to internalize, talk about the true untouchables, lost and damned, and just understand many aren't missed by someone, so they essentially just don't exist, like they just weren't ever even here. If I were Mexican, I'd demand a census that's legit every ten years at minimum, a best you can muster account of birth certificates, or whatever it is Mexico employs to recognize you as a Mexican child/adult/citizenship, and if this isnt mandatory and well policed it must be. Another situation here that should be unacceptable to all voting citizens, but when your own government allows shakedowns, when you don't know if your complaint is also your death warrant, stuff like this just gets shoved back to another corner.

    3. 6:35 I’m sure you don’t realize this but the way you think about Jewish people is just straight up racism. When Vicente Fox was president of Mexico did you worry he might “sell out” to Germany because of his German background. Did you worry that Enrique Pena-Nieto might sell out to Spain (In 2020 he received a so called “Golden Visa” which gives him legal residency in Spain for investing $1 million or more in Spain)?. My guess is it doesn’t even occur to you think this same way about anyone who isn’t Jewish or any country that isn’t a Jewish majority country. Only Jews and only Israel get subjected to this kind of warped thought process. Also, what does “sell out” even mean in this context Mexico and Israel have no important dealings that significantly impact either country. As for Claudia Sheinbaum she didn’t even issue a statement to condemn the biggest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust that thousands of Iranian backed Palestinian Arabs perpetrated from the Gaza Strip last October. The Palestinian perpetrators of that attack also took hostage 2 Mexican citizens who were in Israel and were taken into Gaza along with 250 other hostages and Claudia Sheinbaum hasnt said anything about them. Sheinbaum for her part condemned Israel in 2009 because like many more Leftist politicians not just in Mexico but other countries as well, she is not very friendly to Israel. Sheinbaum’s opponent for the Presidency Xóchitl Gálvez (who is not Jewish) said this about Sheinbaum on October 8, 2023 after the Palestinian perpetrated attacks in Israel “I invite you Claudia Sheinbaum to together condemn the Hamas attacks and stand in solidarity with the international Jewish community and with the Israeli and Palestinian people, both victims of terror,”. Sheinbaum has still not issued a forceful condemnation of the October 7, 2023 massacres in Southern Israel where more Jews were murdered that anytime since 1945. Also I should point out that Claudia Sheinbaum did not win a majority of the Mexican Jewish community vote. Mexico has a small Jewish community only about 50,000 Mexicans are Jewish but she doesn’t have much support among them partly because she seems to run away to some extent from her Jewish background and many Jews in Mexico are very proud of their Jewish heritage so that limits her appeal to that community. Most importantly though, people like yourself, I think, really need to look in the mirror and ask yourself why it is that you have this need to view Jewish people so differently than you view everybody else. People like you tell yourself stories why Jews supposedly deserve it but those are just stories and at the end of the day whether you realize it or not this is about you and your need to make Jews into some kind of special subject, when The truth is Jews whether in Israel or Mexico or the U.S. or anywhere else are just human beings just like everybody else

    5. The reason AMLO never was under any danger is because he’s the last and most important palanca to have in sweet ol mejico. And the likely(but not guaranteed) reason why the big bosses are extraditing themselves is because Uncle Sam and Aunty Smashbaum are gonna militarize the drug trade and likely maybe even legalize some shit, way later tho.

    9. 909 jooz are always playing the victim. You're the prime example. Acts of terror have been committed by both sides. You want everyone to condemn the massacre that occurred on Oct 7, while using it as an excuse to justify the mass murder of 43k Palestinians. So you're gonna tell me all 43k were hammas terrorist? We both know the majority were innocent, but you wont accept it because it strips you of the victimhood persona you'retrying to portray. Jooz have been occupying that land since 1948, but the Palestinians had it for 2000 years before. Maybe you should move back to Isreal and leave your house in the U.S to a native American or better yet, an indigenous Mexican family. After all, they've been on the continent for at least 14,000 years, that's 12,000 years longer than the jooz and 13,500 longer than the European squatter descendants that occupy it now.

    11. 1210, oh but I have read a history book or two and that's how I've come to my conclusion. Jooz like to play victim. 42,000 dead Palestinians since October 7th and the jooz want the world to look past that and only focus on their 1,200 victims. The Jewish state has only existed since 1948, prior to that, the muslims had control of it for about 500 years... I've watched as the media will dehumanize and villify the Palestinians and cast blame on hamas for the number of casualties the jooz are directly responsible for. Call them out and they go with their atypical victimhood strategy of, "your antisemetic! You're a racist! Waaa waaa, were gonna cancel you out! How dare you say we're no longer the victims here" As the saying goes I guess, " History is written by the victors"

Just look at 909's statement about 2 Mexican hostages. No mames, this fool mentioned 2 hostages while 8 bodies were found in a van in culiacan 1 night, and the following night another 5 were dumped in front of an amusement park. Goes back to the 1200 victims of October 7th and using that to justify the ongoing mass murder of 43k Palestinians. Again, you're going to tell me that 43k were all hammas terrorist? Jooz will play victim to justify the evil they support. Condemn the murder of 43k Palestinians just as you want all of them "antisemites" to condemn the October 7th incident.

Who's pushing the false narrative to justify the slaughter of 15,000 children? The jooz. And for as unoriginal as you want to call it , it's true, "History is written by the victors" the jooz have killed 43,000 Palestinians and some how they're portraying themselves as the victims.

    20. The bottom line, the point here is , the jooz have killed 43,000 civilians since the start of the conflict so far and 909 wants to paint the jooz as the victims... and don't get me wrong, there's victims on both sides, but let's be honest with ourselves, the jooz are literally slaughtering the Palestinian population.

Mexicos homicides last year were 29k, according to this article.This article criticizes the number of deaths under AMLO's 6 year term but just last year the cdc reported 111k drug related overdoses in the U.S, the year before was 120k! 180k or so homicides in a span of 6 years compared to the U.S's 230k overdoses in 2 YEARS, doesnt sound that bad now.

Let me remind you, 111, 000 Fentanyl deaths in the U.S. Between Ukraine and the middle east conflict, there have been 55k deaths since it started, yet the U.S chose to send 94 billion to that region instead of addressing the 111,000 fentanyl deaths in the U.S. Can you register that?

The whole north east of Mexico been at war like in Culiacan these past months. Difference is they been at it for 12 yrs straight now. Not that month y’all keep talking about. Tamaulipas alone was creating 500 murders a month. A MONTH during the Z CDG war.

    1. Ok. Difference was POS criminals were getting their wigs split. Tormenta and his Escorpiones? MF got killed for eternity. Mass indiscriminate murderer Z3/Lazcano? MARINA downed him.
      All POS sicarios irregardless of affiliation need to take a dirt nap. F them. Those cartel armies are the only reason México can't progress and its citizens have security. Keep it up but don't be surprised with the results.

  23. You gotta say facts behind the numbers. 90% are dead cartels members or related. 90% of murders in the US are? Don’t worry I’ll wait. Also Mexico economy is the strongest it’s ever been and that’s thanks to him taking back what other presidents sold or gave away for their benifits.

    1. Nearshoring. That's what's helping México tremendously. Even Chinese citizens are investing in México because of the political tension between PRC and USA. The lag in the time to ship across the Pacific Ocean.
      If the USA does well than México will benefit. Remesas. Correct me if I'm wrong, didn't AMLO say remesas from the USA are México biggest source of revenue? Truthfully that should be outdated. How many decades has it been since the "Bracero Program" started?
      The "powers that be" in México aren't looking out for the average ciudadano. They're only doing the minimum they have to do to keep giving them "atole con el dedo". 🍻

      He had a few screwups that he was able to charm his way out of..
      But when the chickens come home to roost, a bill will be presented to pay for the extensive social programs and pension cash handouts that Morena has been passing out like chicles..

  27. Bloomberg is a globalist organization that has its hands in many cookie jars around the world. When some of its stakeholders' financial investments/opportunities/exploits are threatened they will be quick to write negative articles as has been the case with AMLO.

    Dispite everything that was written in this particular article, they need to recognize that AMLO inherited the challenges of increased violence and chaos that Mexico has been facing since Calderon's start of his war on drugs. The fragmentation of criminal groups was not a result of AMLO's approach to the DTO's. This was a result of the previous administrations approach and eagerness to please their gringo puppet masters.

    In spite of all of the challenges this Gringo news outlet highlights against the former mexican president, AMLO still left with a 70% approval rating. The Mexican people are overall happy with his performance during his 6 year term because if they werent, they wouldn't have elected another member of the same party. The hypocrisy amongst these American news outlets is they constantly criticized AMLO for his reforms, like the judicial reform, which is very similar to that of the U.S. Same goes with their criticism of SEDENA taking charge of the Guardia Nacional, yet the U.S National Gaurd is Run by the U.S Department of Defense which oversees the armed forces...

    It's easy to highlight and magnify one aspect of of the challenges AMLO faced and ignore the rest of his achievements.

    1. 3:18, what were his achievements?

      Delete
    2. @1:25,
      6 national dam projects
      12 national road projects
      4 wind farms
      1 solar energy farm
      6 Iberdola power plants
      Built 1 new oil refinery modernized 6 and bought one in Texas.
      Nationalized the Lithium deposits.
      Built the Tehuantepec Isthmus railway that will create an import/export route and will compete with the panama canal and cut travel time by 4 days and will create more jobs.
      Construction of the Tren Maya which has created direct and indirect jobs and will attract tourism to that region.
      Built 3 new airports along the tren Maya route and remodeled 2
      AMLO scrapped the retarded idea of building an airport on top of Lake Texcoco and instead turned the lake into a national park.
      Rather than a flooded airport on top of a lake, AMLO opted to build the Felipe Angeles Airport for half the cost. All because he made use of his resources and used the military to build it. The construction of the Felipe Angeles Airport also includes an added museum and a new highway to get there. With the money he received from the sale of the 200 million dollar presidential airplane he built 2 state of the art hospitals in Oaxaca and Guerrero.

      Under AMLO the corrupt Polica federal was disbanded and absorbed by the Guardia Nacional. The 30k personnel were absorbed by the Guardia and an additional 90k GN personnel were hired. By the end of his term there were 600 military stations completed throughout the country to house the 120k Guardia Nacional personnel.
      Under AMLO SeDeNa took charge of all land, air and sea ports of entry and not just moved the aduanas headquarters to Nuevo Laredo but is building a new state of the art facility to match the U.S border crossing technology. As a result, AMLO was able to change the constitution so that SeDeNa is now in charge of the Guardia Nacional just like the U.S national gaurd is managed by the equivalent of Mexicos SeDeNa; the u.s department of defense. Speaking of changing the constitution, as I mentioned earlier, AMLO managed to reform the Judicial system and how judges will be elected. Despite what the gringos fear, they're discontent with this reform because their companies will have a harder time corrupting judges. This brings me to the next set of achievements.

      Unlike his predecessors, AMLO has reclaimed Mexico's national sovereignty. He's limited the DEA's power on Mexican soil, he renegotiated the Merida Initiative with the Bicentennial agreement along with nationalizing and subsidizing Mexicos energy and natural resources. This still doesn't include his contributions to the health sector, the education sector and all of the social programs that the elderly, indigenous and disadvantaged youth have benefitted from. I don't know if you are aware, but AMLO recently acquired the land back from the american company Volcan for the corruption they had been committing while exploiting Mexicos resources.

      I can continue, but really, I think you should take the time to cross reference what I'm saying to kill your doubt.

Between the Ukraine Russia conflict and the Isreal Palestinian conflict there have been close to 55 thousand deaths and they're not even a part of the U.S population, while the U.S had 111 thousand deaths last year due to fentanyl and 120 thousand the year before.
