This narrative of a rampant security crisis in Mexico only feeds the coup aspirations of the national and international right wing that is now desperately trying not to lose the privileges they used to enjoy. The exaggeration of the chaos and the minimization of security advances only seek to justify the destabilization of the government of President Claudia Sheinbaum. The appointment of US Ambassador Ronald Johnson, who had suggested invading Mexico to put an end to the narco, as well as his reception and the constant calls to support a US invasion by sectors of the Mexican right, and Donald Trump’s foreign security policies towards Mexico all point in that direction.
