Just how powerful are the Cartels in Mexico?

How much influence do they have on how the country is run?

Considering every time someone tries to make a change they get kidnapped killed and left in some dump to be discovered a month later and nothing gets done, I'll go ahead and say they're quite influential.

There was also a mass massacre with over a thousand executed a mile away from a city that took months to find, i'm not sure if Mexicans in general are just inept

>Just how powerful are the Cartels in Mexico?

AS POWERFUL AS THE UNITEDSTATIAN GOVERNMENT´S INTERNATIONAL AGENCIES ALLOW THEM TO BE.


>How much influence do they have on how the country is run?

SOME, NOT MUCH; THEIR BUSINESS IS MERCANTILE, NOT POLITICAL; THEIR GEOPOLITICAL IMPORTANCE IS LATENT, NOT PATENT.

I'll go ahead and say the cartels have ties to the government and they're very much not in a hurry to uncover their own crimes

why are you yelling?

Who runs Tamulipas now?

the fact that the map covers the entire country doesn't mean cartel presence exists in all of it.
Usually they operate in rural zones and the north deserts

Not sure, zetas have split in several small cells currently fighting over control

Zetas are just a brand now, many returned to the Golfo Cartel because the government and other cartels fuck them really hard for being so edgy

i never go te mexico.... dangerous country high murder rates... i already live in narco state so im not going to other narco state...mexicans are retards

don't encourage the tripfag scum
he is like a gypsy beggar shouting to gain attention
you should only kill these parasites if you can, never acknowledge their pathetic existence

culture of kill

Selling Weed and shrooms to tourists isn't the same thing as having industries based around cocaine, meth and heroin smuggling

delusional
all clubs bars and casinos are run by them in big cities as well

Ah yes weed and shrooms only
they got everything, from weed to meth and heroin, check the deep web markets

u are very wrong

In rural towns and small cities the cartel manages every aspect of daily living and everyone knows who's doing what and who's working for who.
In bigger cities they may have regional influence as long as they support/cuck the governor/major. They may not be able to control every aspect but they sure as hell have a saying on some public policies, specially in law enforcement.
The "government" sure as hell knows who's crooked and who is not, and this is something I concluded based on the access to smartphones and the privacy scandals related to domestic espionage. It's innocent (idiotic, actually) to think the State is totally ignorant on the amount/location of narcos. Specially since those fuckers are addicted to their social media and wear their phones as jewelry.
I live in a big city so my vision could be warped.

If their special forces, and paramilitaries are having trouble curbing out those cartels, you know it's a problem.
Same with in the Philippines.
I'm definitely not saying we just give up, but the War on Drugs needs a different strategy. And hell no, amnesty does NOT WORK.

CDN, which was created by ex zeta members after their cartel collapsed

The state and the cartels are in bed together

We should just let the cartels split the country and legalize all drugs.

Oh and make Mexico City a microstate

Cartels do other stuff besides drug trafficking, like kidnaping, extortion, smuggling. They all must die.

If they were countries they could be sanctioned

Rude.

Honestly you guys need fascism

You know the netherlands also produces like all the MDMA in the World and are also in charge of their own Worldwide distribution routes in alliance with other crime syndicates right? Also theres been higher cooperation with mexican cartels showing them how to cook meth and introduce it to their european and asian routes

Maybe calling them a narco state is far fetched, but they most deffinetly have a legit underworld narco industry, not big enough to be in the same category as the big leagues like México, Colombia or the russian mob but sure enough the biggest in western europe

Yes

dangerously based
