The Capture of El Chapo Could Boost Politician for the Race Toward the Presidency


A little over two months of the presidential elections in Mexico, the capture of drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman could be a historic achievement for President Felipe Calderon, and consequently, a huge boost for the candidate Josefina Vazquez Mota.

The world's most wanted drug lord who escaped from the Mexican authorities on January 2001, could return to prison "soon," according to press statements from Attorney General Cuitlahuac Salinas who heads the organization Specialized Investigation of Organized Crime, who said that a few weeks ago “El Chapo” almost got caught.

If the arrest of the capo is realized during this electoral process, the political party of Calderon could get a "sweet trophy," contrary to the negative publicity that has been seen since the beginning when he took office in 2006, the time when he declared war on organized crime gangs.

This triumph for Calderon could also benefit PAN candidate Josefina Vazquez Mota who could garnish support from the Mexican people, and thus help improve her rankings among the polls in the elections coming up on July 1.

Currently Vazquez Mota is not well positioned in the national polls and public opinion, but an event of this magnitude before the election could change the scenario that currently places the PRI candidate Enrique Peña Nieto as the leading candidate to occupy the presidential seat.

The Mexican prosecutor said authorities in the country are focused in capturing the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, and produce good results to the public.

Already in custody?

According to a column in El Financiero "El Chapo" Guzman is already being held as a protected witness and soon will be presented to the media.  There are unconfirmed reports that authorities managed to arrest El Chapo in the middle of March during a raid in Los Cabos.

But as we know, different versions come and different versions go, but a return to prison for the capo would weigh too much for the Mexican country and abroad, mainly the United States where authorities seek his capture and have the checkbook ready to pay whatever cost.

Some government analysts predict that the arrest of Guzman could unleash a wave of bloody violence between lieutenants and allied groups for control of the Sinaloa cartel and could be the reason for the hesitation to announce a possible arrest, that is, if it did happen at all.

    What is it with Mexicans and this idiotic fucking need to find a strong man/big man master to grovel to? Been living here 5 years and I see it everywhere, from people hollering how they're "for" some random scumbag thieving politician or another to people picking their favourite narco chief and "poniendo se a la orden" Pinches mamadas me cagan...

  6. I don't believe this at all. And with the capture of Chapo and all of the infighting for control of CDS wouldn't that be handing Mexico to the Zetas on a silver platter? I mean they're the only ones from keeping the zetas from infesting 100% of Mexico instead of just half.

  7. HE JUSY KILLED A BUNCH OF ZETAS IN NUEVO LAREDO AND LEFT A MESSAGE (BANNER). SO DO YOU THINK HE IS IN JAIL

  8. Well carlos buscaglia said that el mayo zambada has a better position within the sinaloa cartel than chapo guzman so my guess is that nothing will happened if he gets captured

Si no tuviera tan amarradas las manos calderon estos pendejos deveras piensan que le pueden dar guerra al eje mexicano un par de tanquetas te hacen mierda una caravana.

    2. Dijiste la neta brother. Aqui los gabos dicen que deberian de mandar a los US Marines que porque el eje y la marina mexicana no pueden con los carteles. Pero se les hace muy facil criticar. La verdad es que si Calderon quisiera realmente acabar con el narco usaria toda la fuerza militar y los acaban porque los acaban. Mexico no necesita ayuda en ese aspecto. Pero eso no puede pasar por muchas razones. Cuantos civiles moririan. Seria peor que los 50 mil muertos que lleva esta disque guerra. Tambien no les conviene acabar con el negocio que tantos millones les deja. Es un asunto de seguridad nacional. Pero de que los militares y federales hacen mierda a los carteles no hay duda.

  12. @12:26,

    Stop with the idiotic Chapo fanboy rantings. It's pathetic.

    He is nothing more than a ghoulish gangster who will soon be spending the rest of his miserable life in a concrete cell.

  15. i don't believe they captured him but if i remember correctly they did capture his personal pilot. which means very bad news for Chapo and his connections they will all have to abandon any place this pilot knows about and rename then reposition some key players to different areas of operation on both sides of the pipeline for security reasons.

    anyone south of Mexico with compounds that Chapo flew into with this pilot better demo them and relocate.

  17. Ignorant fuck, you probably got your ass handed to you so many times from your gente to hate your own people.You don't have to finish school to make it in life, As a matter of fact I know MANY people that are successful in LEGAL work and didn't finish school,oh and for info. if the US wanted the flow of drugs to stop we would stop it, its all about politics and business.DO YOUR RESEARCH...

  18. So let me get this article's logic straight...

    Assumption 1. PAN has the power to arrest him when they want. Therefore they can time it whenever they want for their optimum political advantage.

    Assumption 2. PAN has been protecting him. Hey, they apparently have the power and haven't arrested him yet. What's the holdup?

    Assumption 3. PAN will arrest him for political points to win the presidency to show who's in charge.

    OK. So PAN wins the election. Then what? A convenient main prison gate accidently left wide open? wink, wink.

    Chapo Guzman gives the Mexican government orders, not the other way around. The ONLY way he would be "caught" would be if he arrainged it himself to somehow keep PAN in power.

    The Mexican government's subvervience to CDS is so obvious the federal government's slogan should be "Gobierno federal. Vivir Mejor.....Subsidiary del Cartel de Sinaloa, cabrones."

  26. This is for those who think chapo is god: good luck!

    Thou shalt not have strange gods before me
    Thou shalt not make for thyself any graven image
    (carved idol) or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; thou shalt not bow down to them or serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, punishing the iniquities of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those that hate me; but showing mercy to thousands of generations of those that love me, and keep my commandments.

  28. It will be a lot better if they could capture "El lazca" Z3 and "Z40" Miguel angel Trevino Morales as mexican people dislake and are afraid of the Zetas organization, most of it due to the kidnappingds and coutas almost every mexican citizen has to endure where ever the Zetas have control. Mexican citizens are more simphatetic with El Chapo because his organization is said no to kidnap or collect coutas from merchants and other people.

  29. I disagree with drug smuggling and I disagree with crime but its a reality of life .The drug Business is too powerful too much money too old to be stopped. You can kill every single drug dealer in mexico today and tommorow morning another cocaine shipment would make it way to the USA.As long as someone is willing to consume drugs(USA) someone will be willing to smuggle it(MEXICO COLOMBIA etc)Arresting Chapo Guzman would just create more Kaos in Mexico .Chapo is a better Cartel Leader than any z.Did Killing Pablo Escobar stop drug smuggling ??? NO NO NO

  31. I am not a cartel groupy,but sit back,analize Drug trafficking history in Mexico (our Mexico)!Drug cultivation & trafficking has been around for a very long time in our country.Until the early 90s drug violence was not something our society worried about.Innocent victims were rare.The killings were among those in the business.Enter the Zetas...kidnappings,extortion,auto theft,robberies you name it.It shot through the roof!A real drug dealer,a true businessman will not risk his organization to make a hundred grand off a kidnap victim when he can make a million on a shipment of meth or coke.(Just 2 of the drugs you do not have to force upon the Americans).So think,would you rather have a neighbor who ships drugs off to another country or a neighbor who extorts,kidnaps & steals from the hardworking innocent average joe?This is our reality,this is the choice we are given in this beautiful country (Mexico).I'll take the dope dealing neighbor any given day!

  32. the u.s. government are the real drug dealers!! jus like they are the real terrorists, chapo is jus another patsy ask bin laden. they(u.s.) hire these people to do the legwork, while these fatcats sitback and launder the drug money, not to mention the proprty attained thru raids, court fees, etc. from keeping it illegal. Fast And Furious exposed all that, and i dont mean the movie..y asi es el rollo con el pollo

  33. the u.s. gov together with the mex gov will allow guzman to remain live nd free until they dnt need him anymore to further their drugtrade.. after that its BAAMM!! ..Down Goes Frazier.. chapo knows its a dirty game he's in, thus the armed guards. Its the same formula all the time, they did that with saddam. they'll(u.s.) work with them to keep tjeir own hands clean, then they portray you as an enemy to the brainwashed masses, invade and kill you and any poor civilians that happen to be around. Then they move on to the next order of bizness..

  41. My family is not involved in the drug-trade. We have jobs. We go to school. We know how to have a good time without drugs or alcahol. We respect nature. We mind our own buisness. We don't indulge in gossip. We don't look up to any criminal or any lawman with a badge. We do not engage in thievery or bribery. We are not envious nor jealous of anyone. We are not poor nor pretend to be rich either. - I wish my people were known for this throughout the world instead of what I see here everyday, both in the articles and in the comments section. We await your punishment God. Cleanse our wicked ways.

  45. You americans know alot more about Mexico than mexicans. I bet most people here haven't set a foot in Mexico. But still is just amazing how you just happen to be so sure about the situation of the so called "war on drugs". You just got an idea becouse of websites like this. But do you really know anything? Do you or some friend, relative are conected? Are you a DEA informant? its so easy to open your mouth but in reality you know nothing. Most of you just read borderland beat for your own entertaiment. A few read it for information and have an idea of whats going on in Mexico.
