The land of spicy food, Frida Kahlo and great musical performers such as Chavela and Juan Gabriel... but also organized crime. We all already know from several Netflix series the story of the great capos of the Mexican cartels, but rarely do they explain where the narco-violence came from and how successive Mexican governments have tried to deal with it.
Since the beginning of the 21st century, the Mexican State has been waging a relentless war against drug trafficking and organized crime. Homicide has become part of the daily life of many Mexicans and the situation seems to be getting even worse. The captain at the helm of the Mexican State, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, proposes to solve it by giving more hugs than bullets, which has brought him a lot of criticism.
Why is there still so much violence in Mexico? Are Mexican cartels still so powerful? How much success is AMLO really having on security? In this video we tell you.
