New cartel emerges in Mexico as government dismantles larger drug gangs
A new cartel has emerged in the southern part of the state of Mexico – home to the country’s capital – and has caused worry among federal officials already dealing with widespread violence and corruption stemming from drug traffickers.
Calling itself La Empresa (or the Company, in English), this new cartel is entering a region of the country that is currently seeing the reemergence of the once-powerful La Familia Michoacana cartel, Damian Canales Mena, Mexico state’s public safety secretary, said in a press conference, according to El Universal.
As proof that La Empresa is spreading in the Mexican state, Canales Mena pointed to the recent violent death of Bulmaro "El Negro" Blas Salazar, a known drug trafficker, and a sign found from the group stating they won’t tolerate kidnappings or thefts.
Mexico can act 'tough' and disband the cartels but everyone knows that the kingpins are never touched, the money stays in cartel hands and they re-emerge in a few months under a different name. A lot like what we have here with ACORN and A.N.S.W.E.R.
Mexico can get rid of these cartels but it will require cleaning up the government and the military top to bottom and this is something that they do not yet seem to want to address. The corruption is rampant. Until then, they are just doing a P.R. campaign. A careful management of appearances as opposed to an appearance of careful management.
