Insecurity keeps the country “bathed in blood,” affirmed former presidential candidate Xóchitl Gálvez, after asserting that Claudia Sheinbaum demonstrated that the “Hugs, not bullets” strategy had not worked.
She lamented that President Sheinbaum inherited from Andrés Manuel López Obrador “a country in flames, the result of the pact he (the former president) made with organized crime.”
During her visit to support the PAN candidates, who today concluded their campaigns for the municipal presidencies, Gálvez Ruiz insisted that the Obradorist security strategy “did not work.”
She argued: “That pact with crime has already come to light. We see a large number of politicians involved in the fuel theft scheme, but this criminal pact between López Obrador and crime must be investigated.”
She criticized Claudia Sheinbaum for not acknowledging that López Obrador left her a country in flames, but that she did so by changing the security strategy: “Fortunately, the hugs are over.”
The former candidate admitted that after the change in security strategy, criminals have been arrested, but clarified that “that was the result of pressure from President Donald Trump.”
She asserted that the arrest of these criminals was also forced by the pressure Trump exerted by imposing tariffs, given Mexico’s links to crime: “What a coincidence that now we are actually arresting criminals and fentanyl shipments.”
Gálvez Ruiz claimed that the Dos Bocas refinery is still not refining and that this, too, should be the result of a serious and thorough investigation: “That was a project developed by the current governor of Veracruz when she was head of the Ministry of Energy.”
Máynez criticizes wave of violence
In Veracruz, we have a cursed legacy of insecurity, rebuked Jorge Álvarez Máynez, national coordinator of the Citizen Movement (MC) party, from Acayucan, in southern Veracruz.
For its part, the Archdiocese of Xalapa criticized the wave of violence unleashed in recent days in Veracruz, considering it “a sign of the weakening of the social fabric and impunity.”
Silvio Lagos, PRI candidate for mayor of Xalapa, joined the criticism of the “exacerbated violence in Veracruz” and asserted that “citizens want votes, not bullets.”
Upon his arrival in Acayucan, the so-called “Key to the South,” Álvarez Máynez asserted that the escalating wave of violence “will not stop us because the joy of the people of Veracruz will drive people to come out and participate.”
Álvarez Máynez, whose security detail attempted to violently prevent the interview, criticized the Morena administration’s Rocío Nahle for having its hands in the election.
“But that’s the old culture, the old regime that bets on winning elections by foul means… But we’re betting that the joy of the people of Veracruz will prevail and they will turn out to vote en masse,” he said.
