Mexico: Murder of Chief of Drug Cartel strengthens El Chapo

PORTFOLIOS

* EL CHAPO, NEW "boss of bosses"

* REMOVED HIS COMPETITOR stronger

* NO BENEFIT TO THE GOVERNMENT FOTOMONTAJE

OF JOSE A. PEREZ STUART

The photomontage macabre Mexican officials allowed it made and released with the naked body of the head of one of the drug cartels, killed last week by seamen in the city of Cuernavaca has become a stike two bands:

1 .- You have deeply hurt the government of Felipe Calderón, and

2 .- The only one who seems to benefit is the now famous Joaquin Guzman Loera (a) El Chapo, repeatedly declared by Forbes magazine as one of the richest and most powerful men in the world.

Indeed, both the disclosure of these photographs - which are worse than those taken by U.S. soldiers in Iraq when running torture of detainees - such as murder itself festination of the offender - as we said yesterday - seem have exceeded the line between the application of justice than it is a vendetta.

The photomontage pint bad the current government. Does not benefit. Far from being a show of force and "message" for the rest of the capos, highlights what may be the essence, the core of the current onslaught on the drug: being, as has been criticized, a simple war with bullets.

Mexico did not live scenes as well, since the bloody government of Plutarco Elías Calles allowed display the heads or bodies hanging from the Catholics killed by government troops amid the Cristero.

He also speaks of the taste for blood seems to have already expanded their networks in a country where every day people eat breakfast with pictures in newspapers and television, bodies mutilated, burned or simply executed, as part of the confrontation between gangs drug traffickers for control of territory. Actions certainly inhumane work balance. But at that level can not decrease officials seem to have boasted about the murder itself. That refers to something dangerously mentally different.

In any case, is that it directly benefited El Chapo Guzman.

In fact, as today is made known by all Mexican media, after the assassination official Arturo Beltran Leyva (a) Barbas, the only hope is that someone take command of that sign or that are conducted an internal struggle between his followers, to determine who will be the replacement. But drug trafficking continue. And consumption of drugs does not die with his death.

In any case, who is strengthened by this photograph is El Chapo.

One must take into consideration that, according to reports, Arturo Beltran Leyva and Joaquin Guzman Loera working in coordination, but since last year have gone into shock as a result of which the first accused El Chapo have agreed with the authorities delivering one of the brothers of the former. Because first-hand reports I had catfish, knew that He gave Chapo capture and thus became estranged.

The organization split. Both came Artguro leaders Beltran Leyva confrontation and reached national and international prominence.

Therefore, the liquidation of Arturo Beltran Leyva, El Chapo logistical benefits, within the country that you can expand your business network, while the grouping of the deceased Beltran chooses the new leader.

The photomontage macabre with the body of a message appears Beltrán Leyva El Chapo, that it may show that the only captain he is. That he is the new Chief of Chiefs.

If things really are and then be expected to Forbes, in its next annual edition, which also rise, both in its list of the richest in the world, as in the more powerful of the world, because in these times will practically enjoying the joys of near monopoly on the marketing of drugs in the country. His strongest competitor, were eliminated.
