The morning after the killing of Mexico's most wanted cartel boss in a military operation
calm prevails, but people in the capital are on high alert. Unfortunately, it's not the first time we're experiencing this
but this time it does seem a bit more worrying because there's no successor to these cartels
And, well, we hope that our president does something for us, protects us, because honestly, fear is palpable on the streets
Nemesio Oseguira, better known as El Mencho, died in a government raid along with six other gang
members. The operation triggered a violent response across Jalisco state which spread to
other parts of the country, cartel members blocking roads, setting fire to vehicles and
killing more than two dozen Mexican National Guard troops. President Claudia Scheinbaum now
says peace and security are being upheld in Mexico and that all roadblocks have been cleared
The people of Mexico should feel very proud of our armed forces and the security cabinet we have
Meanwhile, the Defense Secretary praised US intelligence support for the operation and said El Mencho's location was found through a trusted associate of a romantic partner of the drug lord
This romantic partner met up with El Mencho and on the 21st, she left the property
And information was obtained that El Mencho remained at this location. The White House has also congratulated the Mexican military for the operation
Scheinbaum has been under mounting pressure to intensify her offensive against cartels
blamed for producing and smuggling fentanyl across the U.S. border
