I’m not defending amlo and couldn’t care less. Acussing me of being a “MAGA kid” while using a ridiculous nickname to refer to the president is telling. “Sleepy Joe huehuehue” energy there.
Well, I was in my early 20s during Calderon’s administration and got carjacked at gunpoint twice, had friends whose parents were kidnapped, people across the board forced to close their businesses because they couldn’t keep up with the threats and extortion from the Cartels. None of that shit is happening now, but really hasn’t happened since PAN left. That’s my personal experience. Not to mention the booming economy.
And even if I personally see that difference, I know not to get carried away by testimonial evidence and i’m saying things are the same, which is a huuuge concession to make.
Man, anyone refering to a sitting President as “poo poo” (kks) is barred from claiming others are propaganda accounts. It’s also absurd to pretend the Mexican Government would make propaganda accounts for effing Lemmy. Ever heard of ROI?
I did not list any atrocities by any President and unlike you, i’m not fixated in any particular administration. List whatever you want and I’ll stand by it, but I’d advise to list a balanced and objective account of drug-related violence in the last 30 years or so, to put things in perspective and help OP understand his main question, which is the impact of a state party running the country for 70+ years in all of this.
Official data suggest an increase in murder that’s lower than the population increase. Same thing happened under the last PRI’s term (2012-2018) That’s what I stated, and even conceded that it meant things are basically the same instead of taking the officialist approach of claiming it diminished.
Don’t get so fired up my man, both approaches to security suck. PRI, PAN, MORENA, they’re all over their heads when it comes to fighting Cartels, precisely because they got too close to power since the 1970s during the state-party rule. Mexico faces the same issue the US faces with lobbying, but instead of corporations, they’re drug cartels.
