Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum may be shifting her policy toward cartels as violence continues to worsen in the country.
The bodies of 15 men were discovered in 11 hidden graves in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, an area shaken by ongoing violence between two notorious drug cartels , local authorities said on Sunday.
The secret tombs were found during a city raid across two properties in the city of La Concordia, just northeast of Mexico’s border with Guatemala, Chiapas Gov. Eduardo Ramírez Aguilar wrote on social media. Four people were arrested in connection with the case, and multiple weapons, vehicles, and drugs were confiscated, the governor added.“We will continue with the operation. For now, we are restoring tranquility and social peace in the region. We will not take a single step back! In Chiapas, calm hours will return! Peace is everyone’s task,” Ramírez Aguilar wrote.The first of the two raided sites had three bodies in three graves, the state prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
The turf war between the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels has led to the slaughter of entire families and forced villages to pick a side in the dispute. Many Chiapas residents have fled to Guatemala to escape the seemingly unending violence.Mexico’s recently elected President Claudia Sheinbaum promised to follow the policy established by her predecessor and mentor, former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, of not confronting the drug cartels.
