The murder of Lydia is part of a continuing trend of crime under President Andres Manuel López Obrador.
Already in 2022, 10 police officers have been murdered in Mexico’s most violent state of Jalisco.
Obrador has announced that his government is no longer focused on detaining drug cartel leaders, and in 2019 he ordered the release of a captured Sinaloa cartel leader to avoid bloodshed.
López Obrador has implemented a tactic he calls “hugs, not bullets” and sometimes appears to tolerate gangs, even at one point not interfering in elections. Praises too.
Asked at his daily morning news briefing whether he intended to change strategies, López Obrador said, “No, but on the contrary, it’s the right path.”
