Ciudad de México, 2 de junio (MaremotoM).- Cuando Andrés Manuel López Obrador dejó la presidencia mexicana el 30 de septiembre y se la entregó a su sucesora, Claudia Sheinbaum, existía la preocupación de que siguiera gobernando como una especie de “Maximato” o poder tras el trono. Los críticos afirmaban que Sheinbaum sería un títere y que el popular López Obrador o AMLO, fundador del partido Morena, se quedaría en el poder y marcaría la agenda. No sucedió.

When Andrés Manuel López Obrador left the Mexican presidency on September 30 and handed it to his successor Claudia Sheinbaum, there was concern he would still govern as a form of “Maximato,” or power behind the throne. Critics said Sheinbaum would be a “títere,” or puppet, and the popular López Obrador, or AMLO, who founded their Morena party, would stay in public and set the agenda. Didn’t happen.

Nice scoop by compa Chaparro on family of Ovidio and the Chapitos getting refuge in the U.S., now confirmed by Mexican security minister. Keep eyes on Ovidio/Joaquín Jr deal, which could raise some serious questions...

“Mexican Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch confirmed a report by independent journalist Luis Chaparro that family members of Ovidio Guzman Lopez, who was extradited to the United States in 2023, had entered the U.S.” https://t.co/lBkLlX8lvc

I wonder if testimony from Ovidio Guzmán was used in these new cartel terrorism indictments against Beltrán Leyva operatives that have just been unveiled?

The U.S. has unveiled the first cartel terrorism charges against Pedro Inzunza and others in Beltrán Leyva faction of Sinaloa Cartel. They are calling it "Operation Take Back America." Seeing various actioms, I think the terrorism designation of cartels is having a real impact.
