Ciudad Juarez, Chih. The United States ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar, said yesterday that the violence that is watching
In Sinaloa, it is not the fault of their country, as President Andrés Manuel López Obrador stated the day before.
At a press conference held at the United States consulate in Ciudad Juarez, the diplomat was questioned about the statements made on Thursday by the president, that Washington is jointly responsible for the situation of confrontation and instability in the state after the kidnapping and transfer to U.S. territory of the drug trafficker Ismael The May Zambada, without knowledge of Mexico.
When it is said that the United States, we, are responsible for what is happening in Sinaloa, in other places, I do not agree. The reality is that the problem has to be defined and solved.
Salazar said.
In the morning press conference on Thursday, López Obrador claimed that the insecurity that prevails in Sinaloa is a situation generated after an agreement between the United States Department of Justice and one of the organized crime groups that operates in Sinaloa, in order to arrest The May, without considering Mexico.
He claimed that the operation in which the drug lord was arrested “cannot be correct, because they killed people; it was totally illegal and they were waiting for the gentleman Mayo agents of the Department of Justice. There was violence there, some people lost their lives, like the former rector of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (Héctor Melesio Cuén)”
Salazar stated yesterday that It is not understood how the massacres we see in different places, such as what was seen in Morelos yesterday (Thursday), or what is being seen in Sinaloa, can be the responsibility of the United States; that is not the fault of the United States.
he said.
The reality is that there is a problem of insecurity and violence, and as Dr. Claudia Sheinbaum said very clearly yesterday (Thursday), we are going to have to deal with it with strong and deep collaboration. That is the challenge before us.
he stressed.
Starting on the 9th, a wave of violence began in Culiacán, which according to federal authorities is the result of the rivalry between The Chapitos y The Mayitos, After Ismael Zambada was allegedly kidnapped on July 25 and handed over by Joaquín Guzmán López, son of Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán, and taken to the United States, where he was detained.
