“The first thing is to recognize that we are in a country with zones of extreme conflict, where civilians are particularly threatened, and recognize that it is not new, that we have been in this reality for at least 15 years, that there is no point in hiding it, on the contrary, let us face the context, understanding the Mexican particularity. We must understand the flows of arms and drugs in which Mexico is immersed because it has the largest drug and arms market in the northern world. Let us recognize that it is transnational, that not everything is attributable to the Mexican political reality.”
