The UN extends its hand to Mexico in the midst of chaos
The United Nations Organization has just broken its silence. After the complex and bloody day on Sunday, unleashed by the death of the criminal leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, ‘El Mencho’, the UN in Mexico expressed its solidarity.
They are not empty words. The international organization expressed its condolences for the lives lost, both civilians and agents who fell “in the line of duty.” It is a direct recognition of the human cost of this war.
“We reiterate our willingness to continue accompanying the Government of Mexico in its efforts to strengthen security and confront organized crime in accordance with the rule of law,”
the statement added. It is an offer of support, but also a subtle reminder: the answer must be within the legal framework.
The figures behind the drama
And how big was the explosion? The authorities have the numbers. The Security Cabinet reported 252 blockades in 20 states. A coordinated and terrifying show of force.
But the real drama is in the final balance. Secretary Omar García Harfuch detailed it: 62 deaths in total after the attacks ordered by the cartel.
In Jalisco alone, the epicenter, there were six attacks. 25 members of the National Guard, a guard, a prosecutor and an innocent woman fell there. 30 suspected criminals also died. In Michoacán, the balance was four criminals killed and 15 officers injured.
These are numbers that paint a war movie scenario, but they occurred on our roads and cities. Each figure is a destroyed family, a hole that is not filled with speeches.
The UN puts an international focus on this. It is no longer just an internal problem; It is an issue that draws the world’s attention. The question now is what comes next after the official report and condolences.
