The Yucatán Peninsula is no longer what it was just a few years ago. Today, in the three states that comprise it, governed by Morena, there is a growing number of violent incidents, bloody crimes, and challenges to authority that were previously unseen.
CRIMINAL GROUP THREATENS CAMPECHE
Just yesterday, a video put the residents of Campeche on edge. It showed a group of heavily armed individuals with machine guns and grenades, wearing tactical gear and balaclavas, making threats against the authorities, particularly those at the San Francisco Kobén Social Rehabilitation Center.
The Campeche State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) and the Secretariat of Citizen Protection and Security (SPSC) took it so seriously that, to date, they have not been able to rule out its veracity or question its authenticity. On the contrary, security for the staff at the state prison has been reinforced.
“We’re here, you bastards,” the alleged leader of the unidentified gang can be heard saying. “We’ve arrived, and nobody’s getting us out of here,” the voice continues.
MASSES IN YUCATÁN
On January 5, an armed attack in the municipality of Dzilam González, Yucatán, left three people dead, including a minor, and at least two others seriously injured.
The incident occurred in the Taiwan neighborhood, at a property with a riding arena located on 10th Street between 17th Street, where horse training was taking place. According to initial reports, armed men arrived at the location in a pickup truck and a motorcycle, from which they fired several shots at the people present, before fleeing.
The Morena party governor of Yucatán, Joaquín Díaz Mena, claimed it was all a land dispute, but the lie has been exposed, and around 10 people have been arrested for the massacre, which was ordered from criminal territory in Quintana Roo.
NARCO-BLOCKADES IN QUINTANA ROO
The tranquility in communities in south-central Quintana Roo was shattered this Thursday after a series of blockades, riots, and an intense security deployment that stretched from Chunhuhub to the city of Chetumal. The events were related to the arrest and transfer of a woman considered a priority target on the state’s Crime Atlas.
Hours earlier, residents reported the closure of access roads in Chunhuhub, Polyuc, and Ramonal, where tires were set on fire and logs were placed to block passage, mainly on the Chetumal-Mérida federal highway. The smoke was visible for several kilometers, while helicopters, small planes, and drones flew over the area known as the “short route,” generating tension among the inhabitants. The State Attorney General’s Office later confirmed the arrest of Shadani Lorena “N,” allegedly linked to a violent criminal group operating in the municipality of Felipe Carrillo Puerto. According to authorities, the arrest was made through a coordinated operation by the Interinstitutional Group, without the use of force.
Following her capture, the woman was transferred under heavy security to the city of Chetumal. The convoy, comprised of units from the Investigative Police, the National Guard, the Mexican Navy, and the Mexican Army, proceeded along Insurgentes Avenue to the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Drug Trafficking, drawing attention from motorists and residents.
The Attorney General’s Office stated that the detainee is believed to be connected to various high-impact crimes in the central region of the state, and that her arrest is part of a strategy to dismantle criminal cells identified as priorities by authorities.
