The official version after the dejection
Claudia Sheinbaum came out to tell about her Sunday. According to her, they called her at dawn. It was the head of the National Defense informing him about the operation that ended with Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias ‘El Mencho’.
“Very early the general secretary called me, informed me of what was happening and I was in contact with the Security Secretariat,” he declared.
Immediately, he says, he ordered the installation of a command post. To coordinate the institutional response, of course. Because when you take down the alleged leader of the CJNG, everything must seem under control.
The choreography of power
The narrative is impeccable: permanent communication between Defense, Security, Interior, Navy and state governments. Everyone in tune. Everyone informed.
But here comes the juicy part. While bullets were flying in Jalisco, rumors spread on social media that the Guadalajara airport had been taken. Sheinbaum had to clarify that point personally.
“Like the Guadalajara airport, which they said had been taken, they immediately said it was false,” he stated with that calm that intrigues us so much.
The curious thing is what is not said. Would you strengthen your security after this episode? The question hung in the air. His answer was as clear as morning fog: “with the security elements.”
This is how the post-operative script works: coordination is shown, rumors are denied and uncomfortable questions are avoided. The circus must continue, although behind the curtain no one really knows who is running the show.
