In Mexico’s bloodiest presidential election, 13 candidates were killed by cartels, underscoring the deadly risks of political ambition in the country. Hector Berrellez, an expert on cartel influence, reveals how widespread corruption entangles government officials who often rely on cartel payments as steady income streams. This corruption complicates President Claudia Sheinbaum’s position, as she faces immense pressure from cartels to cooperate while simultaneously trying to maintain U.S. support in the international narcotics war. Berrellez also asserts that cartel influence stretches into both Mexican and U.S. officials, contributing to weak law enforcement and ongoing impunity for traffickers.
