How deep in bed is he with the cartels? From FOX News:
Mexico's Lopez Obrador doubles down on ‘hugs, not bullets’ policy amid mounting criticism
Mexico’s president stood defiant Wednesday amid mounting criticism of his government’s policy of using "hugs, not bullets" when fighting drug cartels after nine Americans – including six children – were gunned down by sicarios on Monday.
President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador brushed off criticisms against his government’s position and reiterated Wednesday during his daily media briefing that violence was not the answer or appropriate response to the growing deaths at the hands of cartels.
“It was lamentable, painful because children died, but do we want to resolve the problem the same way (as previous administrations)? By declaring war?” he asked. “That, in the case of our country, showed that it does not work. That was a failure. It caused more violence.”
Hey AMLO - you campaigned on getting rid of the cartels and cutting crime. Now it is time for you do actually fulfill your campaign promises. You have all sorts of support from President Trump if you need it. Time for you to act.
