In these times there is no other asset more valuable than the truth.
Secretary Marcelo Ebrard was in Washington on March 13 to launch a campaign against lies.
“In order not to allow a narrative based on lies that harms our country to be consolidated,” sentenced the press release written in Foreign Relations.
“The national security authorities do not have a record of fentanyl production in Mexico, but instead they locate our country as a trafficking area for this opioid and its precursors, which come mainly from Asia.”
“We are not going to allow them to run over Mexico,” commented the secretary in relation to the requests of a couple of Republican congressmen about eventual actions by US security forces in the country.
This communiqué set off alarm bells in Washington; a parallel reality created by President López Obrador in the morning promoted the idea that fentanyl is not produced in Mexico.
Washington knows that President López Obrador’s reactions in the morning are part of a simulation exercise that helps him sell a “positive Mexico” in which his goodness rules with skill and wisdom; an exercise in complacency whose strategic bases are part of propaganda. A government of publicists.
The time came when President Biden was upset by the lottery of the responsibility of the Government of Mexico in matters of security. The DEA has revealed the production tricks of a morning shoot that seems more parody than informative.
Anne Milgram, head of the DEA, was in charge of dismantling the simulation and the lies. One day after AMLO sent half a cabinet to Washington (production on account of the morning), the Biden government declassified real data on an accusation against the leadership of the Sinaloa cartel.
In an interval of a year and a half, the DEA managed to infiltrate the operations of “Los chapitos”, and learn about the links with Colombia, Greece, Guatemala and the United States. The agency also identifies Chinese suppliers: Yongahao Wu, Yaquin Wu and Kun Jiang. The details amaze. For example, on May 26, 2022, a DEA infiltrator met with an emissary of the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico City.
Attorney General Merrick Garland described the indictments in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York as “injunctions against the world’s largest, most violent and most prolific fentanyl trafficking operation.”
But in Mexico, AMLO, Ebrard and Rosa Isela Rodríguez continue to be set by the effects of the morning.
The DEA’s revelation had its effects on Saturday morning at the Chinese Embassy in Mexico. Foreign Relations sent a second-level official to prevent further anger in Washington. It is probable that AMLO ordered Ebrard to lower the profile of the government during the event in which the new ambassador Zhang Run was presented. The Secretary of Agriculture and lower-rank officials from Tourism and Foreign Relations were observed.
At the time, President AMLO’s letter to Xi Jinping seemed like a joke, now, after the DEA revelations, it seems like a ridiculous request with which the Mexican tries to wash his hands of the fentanyl crisis.
Without keeping the forms, Marcelo Ebrard went to Puebla on Saturday morning for a campaign event. One of the officials who works with him uploaded four photos of the party to Twitter. The moment I questioned why he was not present at the Chinese embassy, the official deleted the tweet.
What the weakened opposition has not been able to do, the DEA has done: it ridicules the mornings.
Biden has had enough of AMLO’s simulation.
The worst: the violence in Mexico.
