Part 4/6:
The discussion delves deeper into the murky relationship between criminal organizations and the state. There are persistent rumors and reports suggesting that certain cartels have established covert connections or even enjoy covert support from elements within the military or government institutions. These insinuations point to a scenario where parts of the government may be infiltrated or aligned with criminal groups, creating a shadowy interplay that complicates efforts to restore order.
Such alliances could enable cartels to operate with a sense of impunity, undermining law enforcement and complicating diplomatic relations. This situation raises urgent questions about governance, transparency, and the rule of law within Mexico.
