Escalating Violence in Mexico: Insights from Capella

Alberto Capella, former security secretary in Tijuana, Morelos, and Quintana Roo, recently joined the program 'Desayunando con Carlos' to shed light on the worrying escalation of violence in Mexico. During the discussion, he delved into significant topics such as insecurity, organized crime, and the current government's security policies. He pointed out that within less than 30 days of the new administration, extreme acts of violence have occurred, which include bomb attacks and murders. Despite public security reports being presented, a detailed analysis reveals a concerning trend with a considerable rise in daily homicides. Capella emphasized the possibility that the data reported by the government may be manipulated to portray a more favorable image of the reality on the ground. The conversation also touched upon the damaging impact of violence on Mexico's international perception, with some countries starting to view Mexico as a dictatorship. Nonetheless, Capella maintains hope for change during this new governmental term, especially considering the experience and knowledge of the new secretary of security, Omar García Harfuch.
