The drug war keeps pushing Mexico to the brink of a civil war between the government and the cartels. A new battle between police and cartel members took place in a small town beside the US border.
Mexican officials have an optimistic view of their abilities:
'I don't think that Mexico needs intervention. I think Mexico needs collaboration and cooperation', said Riquelme, whose party is in opposition to Lopez Obrador. 'We're convinced that the state has the power to overcome the criminals'.Given that the 'state' just lost to the cartels in open warfare, I'd love to see the 'evidence' that convinced Senor Obrador.
