Four gangs of criminals in Kerettaro In Kerettaro rules the National Action Party (PAN, right opposition), as in neighbouring Wanajuato, the state most affected by any of the country’s 32 administrative departments, records the highest number of homicides on an annual basis. “There have been four gangs of criminals operating in Kerettaro for some years,” notes a security expert, David Sausedo, adding that the way the perpetrators of Saturday’s massacre refers to violent incidents in Wanajuato. There are often marked “attacks against bars and restaurants, either to ‘pay rent’, i.e. to pay protection as criminals demand, “or because in these areas a rival gang sells drugs,” explains Mr. Sausedo. The violence seems to have escalated even further after the new president of the left, Claudia Shainbaum, took office on October 1st: mayor was decapitated at the beginning of October in the state of Guerrero (south), where 11 bodies were found abandoned in a vehicle last week. In France, war broke out as officials of the new government spoke of “mexi-canning”, referring to the increase in violent incidents associated with drug trafficking. With its announcement, the Mexican embassy in Paris expressed regret at the use of this expression, which contributes to the country’s “momentaryism” and marks its conversion to “steretype”. He insisted on “great efforts made by the Mexican government” to address violence in “some parts of the territory”. Since President Shainbaum took over power, 2,788 homicides have been committed, according to a Tresearch research institute, based on public data.
