Breathe

In an unusual event in Mexico, the Presidency of the Republic, whose head is Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, requested the Legislative Branch controlled by her party, Morena, to pronounce on whether or not to comply with a judicial suspension issued by an Amparo Judge to remove from the Official Gazette of the Federation the judicial reform approved in September of this year, which limits the independence of that Branch and violates its integration.
It is evident that the President knew what would be the response of the Legislature controlled by herself, the former President and her party. At least the Senate of the Republic was in her favor and approved with its majority that the President disobey the court order, and against the Law and the Rule of Law, keep the controversial constitutional modification in force.
Hours before the complicit Morenista legislators and allies gave their endorsement for the presidential contempt against any law, rule or regulation, drug traffickers exploded two car bombs in Guanajuato, like those used by international terrorists who defend an ideology or religion and murder defenseless citizens in their bloody war.
Drug trafficking terrorism in Mexico has escalated to indescribable levels, such as the scene left by the car bomb explosion in Guanajuato, or the more than 300 missing persons in Sinaloa, or the dead in Guerrero, Tabasco, Tamaulipas, Baja California, and most of the states of the Republic.
While the policy of Hugs, not bullets is not eradicated, nor does the Intelligence Undersecretary of the Secretary of Security, Omar Garcia Harfuch, initiate actions, the drug cartels, Jalisco New Generation, Sinaloa and La Familia Michoacana, intensify the violence with which they fight for territories for drug plantations and drug trafficking, executing rivals, citizens, attacking police and civilians at the useless sight of the National Guard.
The scenes taken by a mother in Acámbaro, Guanajuato, shortly after the car bomb exploded, are heartbreaking and seem to be taken in a city at war, right now in the Gaza Strip, but they are not. They are in Mexico, in a town about 150 kilometers from the capital of Guanajuato.
The devastation is terrible. Three policemen wounded, damage and fire in the Acámbaro Public Security building and damage and fire in four surrounding houses in addition to serious damage to seven civilian vehicles. Smoke everywhere, smell of death and terror. A policeman warns the mother who is taking the video to take shelter, as the officer fears that another car bomb may be sent to the town to cause more damage.
But the other car bomb did not explode there, but in Jerécuaro, a municipality 33 kilometers from Acámbaro, where the fire caused by the explosion damaged nine shops and seven cars, according to initial reports.
Guanajuato was in the six-year term of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and looks set to be in the administration of Claudia Sheinbaum, the state with the most executions: close to 25,000 in six years. A region hit by drug trafficking, huachicoleo, extortion and extortion. An area abandoned by the intelligence and operations to fight criminals and make citizens safe.
In Baja California, the Jalisco Cartel - New Generation murders a sub-commander in Tecate and threatens police officers, while the Sinaloa Cartel does the same in Tijuana. And in Sinaloa, the internal war of the cartel that bears the name of the state has not ceased since the capture by the United States of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada García, who according to his public testimony, endorsed by the Attorney General's Office, was kidnapped by the sons of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán Loera and handed over to the Americans.
In that state, where Governor Rubén Rocha Moya is implicated in the events - although not investigated by the prosecutors - 263 people have been murdered, 315 have disappeared and 393 vehicles have been stolen since the beginning of the confrontation between the sons of El Mayo and the sons of El Chapo.
On the same day that the Legislative Branch endorsed the presidential contempt of a judicial suspension to eliminate the judicial reform proposed by the former President and backed by force to buy legislative opponents, in Guerrero, another state hit by governmental abandonment not only in climatic catastrophes, but also in the fight against insecurity and cartels, two criminal cells clash in the Costa Grande, in Tecpan de Galeana, leaving rivers of blood, bodies and shell casings all over the town.
Fearful of the crackle of gunfire and the incessant criminal attack, citizens have imposed their own curfew, they do not leave their homes, classes are suspended, businesses close, they stop daily life to safeguard their physical integrity in the face of the unpunished war that the cartels are waging in their streets.
At the same time that the cartels take the streets of the country with their bullets, blood, threats, kidnappings and extortions, Morena takes the country. It unites two powers, the Legislative and the Executive, against the third power, the Judiciary, not only contravening the Constitution that sustains the division of powers, but promoting a Law of constitutional supremacy, so that these two members of the Mexican State, Legislative and Executive, dictate the norms and form of government, without the constitutional intervention of the Judiciary.
Morena will be able to do with the laws, the public administration, the budget, the programs, whatever it wants, by building a government with supremacy and untouchable for the common citizen, the civil organization and the Judiciary.
While the Government of the Republic retains all its power, attention and concentration on disabling the third Power of the Union, drug trafficking, the drug cartels take over the rest of the country, the one that is not written, the one that is lived in the streets, municipalities and states, the one that is violated with blood and lead, now with explosions of car bombs in a six-year term of office that is off to a bad start.
