They investigate the death of an influencer in San Luis Potosí

President Claudia Sheinbaum pointed out that some television series try to promote among young people the idea that joining criminal groups represents a path to success. He said it during the “México Canta” contest, in his morning conference this Thursday, July 23 at the National Palace.

Sheinbaum rejected the incursion of youth into organized crime and assured that these narratives distort reality.

“They try to promote to young people an idea that if you get involved with a criminal group you will be successful; you will have money; women, because that is what they unfortunately promote; a life of luxury, in short.”

The president highlighted the effect this has on young audiences: “So what happens to a young person? They turn a drug lord into a hero or a heroine and we are against that because that is not life for young people, that is death.”

Prevention actions

Sheinbaum described narrative as “very important” in the formation of youth. He assured that his administration works “dose every day to make that a reality.” He called on society, parents and the government to take care of young people collectively, with cultural actions such as the promotion of indigenous peoples.
