Organized crime in Tabasco

49

In Tabasco, clashes between criminal groups continue, and, according to reports cited by the column, these disputes tend to damage perceptions of public security.

A new criminal group identifying itself as Comando 47 claims to have entered the municipality of Cárdenas.

Security indicators in the state are known to have deteriorated significantly in recent years. According to the column, only after the implementation of the new federal security strategy beginning in 2024 did the state begin to benefit from a reduction in recorded homicides.

The emergence of new criminal groups is described as a negative development, particularly because only a few days earlier, Tabasco Governor Javier May had said that “we are doing well, we are increasingly regaining citizens’ confidence, you can already feel it, and we are gradually returning to nightlife.”

On that occasion, May himself qualified his statement by warning that they should not “declare victory.” According to the column, the events reported the following day helped explain why he had issued that warning.
