Part 5/8:
In a shocking display of violence, the political landscape in Mexico City deteriorated dramatically with the brazen assassination of two high-ranking aides to Mayor Clara Bugatta. In a well-orchestrated attack, the victims were murdered in broad daylight, allegedly at the hands of cartel assassins, raising grave concerns about the reach and power of organized crime even in the country's capital.
Details indicate that Bugatta’s private secretary, Himea Guzman, was intercepted while picking up senior adviser José Munoz, who was fatally shot in the ambush. The execution of Guzman followed swiftly, with police confirming multiple shots fired into the vehicle. This incident has astoundingly shattered Mexico City's long-held perception as a sanctuary amidst the country’s rampant cartel violence.
