Belén Fernández, “Mexico’s election: A victory for organised crime,” Al Jazeera, 03/06/2024. [Link]

A columnist of Al Jazeera writes she thinks that, given more than two dozen candidates were assesinated before election day in Mexico, and that most of these assesinations are atributed to “crime outfits conducting their own forms of election”, “it is safe to assume that violence, official corruption, and impunity will remain the name of the game. A woman may have won the Mexican election, but the real winner is organised crime – in every sense of the term.”
