Peña's reaction when hearing of El Chapo's escape: "Let's play dominoes"

by Lucio R. for Borderland Beat

On the occasion of his third state of the union address, President Enrique Peña Nieto asserted that events like those of Iguala, and the escape of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman “is upsetting to Mexicans”.  He says he was saddened by the events. 

"Our country was deeply hurt by a series of cases and unfortunate events, the events of Iguala or the
escape from  a high security prison reminds us of a weak rule of law," he told more than a thousand guests at the National Palace. 

"Accusations of conflicts of interest, even involving the Chief Executive, as well as allegations of corruption in the municipal, state and federal orders, and in some cases in the private sector have generated discomfort and anger". 


"These situations are very different," he explained, "but they all affect the attitude of Mexicans and public trust in institutions."

“What are we going to do as a country, in confronting the challenges and difficulties facing Mexico?"

Our response is blunt: Let's face the challenges with clarity of direction and absolute determination.”

Say what?


I include the above-mentioned as a lead in to an article posted in Reforma about the reaction of EPN, to the news that Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzmán had escaped No. 1 Altiplano Prison.  The escape was a fete never before successfully executed by an inmate. It was Chapo’s second successful, made for Hollywood, escape.

Taking a trip back in time of the escape, finds the Mexican president on Mexico’s presidential aircraft, en route to a state visit in Paris, France, with his advisers, and supposedly they were relaxed and  in a game of dominoes

It was at this time that EPN’s  private secretary, Jorge Corona, alerted his boss to a phone call and handed him the phone.  The president left his seat and moved behind a closed door. 

On the other end of the line, was the secretary of the interior, Miguel Ángel Osorio, calling from London.

Peña spoke for a brief time, asked a few questions and and ended the call.

He returned to his seat saying to his advisers, "El Chapo escaped,".  Everyone was stunned.

"How?" asked one.

Peña said, “ Looks like he escaped through a tunnel.  They are investigating."

According to Reforma,  the news held the attention of Peña only briefly.

Everyone remained silent, waiting for their chief to speak further about the shocking event, instead Peña asked how long until the arrival in Gander (airport in Canada).  He was told, “less than two hours.” 

No further discussion ensued of the escape.

"We are going to finish," ordered Peña, pointing to the dominoes.

It is difficult to know what a presidential reaction to such news should be, but returning to a game of dominoes would probably not be on the short list of any sensible person.  Maybe a few phone calls, or a 5 minute discussion with his trusted advisers, all of whom were a few feet from him, may have been in order.

Perhaps this supports the notion that Peña is an unprepared president, an incapable president, maybe he just had no clue what to do, what to say, and how to react, so hell with it, “let’s play dominoes."

And he won.

  2. Only problem here is, there's so much uncertainty in the validity of the story. The dominoes thing could have been made up, you never know with stories surrounding a president who can (and has) got the press to say whatever he wants about him.

Peña nieto and 350 people that help his ass "govern" would crash at once, crashes have helped people before, like emilio azcarraga milmo who got his brother in law down with his plane to recover his place on his father's will, when emilio azcarraga vidaurreta saw that his good for nothing son was capable of murder and getting away with it, he also learned to respect him, emilio azcarraga Jean continues the rich trajectory of getting money for the poor kids telethon and using it to buy himself 300 hundred feet yatch TV...

  10. The opening where he acknowledged, just a little, how fucked Mexico is totaled less than 2% of the entire 2 hour speech.

    Update on poll numbers:

    Economy: 22% approval Crime: 31% approval

    36% approval overall. Reforma had him at 34% last week.

    7. Bin Laden is dead. Snowden never said he's alive and well in the Bahamas. It's a fact that he never said that. It was a fake story. Look it up. By the way; EPN, Chapos Escape, and Dominoes. Smells like coruption to me.

    8. Yeah he learned how to betray his friends and the people who were raised like brothers with him. I don't know who the "best" you are referring to 7:03. But there is one thing for sure and that is Chapo chooses pesos over familia. He is a little hater who has sold his soul to the devil and as long as he does the devils bidding he will have place on this earth. His death and demise is soon approaching because after all that is his destiny. What, you thought there would be a happy ending to his tale? Trust me when I say there will be no happy ending. He will die a horrible death just like Pablo.

  16. EPN's blase behavior suggest to me that the timing of trip out of Mexico was part of a well coordinated plan. EPN taking the call then going back to finish the dominos game is like a positive confirmation news of Chapo's planned "escape."

    The whole story kind of reminds one of Godfather type scenes where the big mafia capo is at a baptismal or wedding at the exact time of some well planned heinous deed.

    Bottom line, bloody and corrupt Mexico is like a cheap narco movie with amateur actors .... hijole! dominos game, indeed....

I'm just waiting for the Queen of Mexico, Angelica Rivero, aka "La Gaviota", to say to the peasants : "let them eat cake". However, let's think positive now. At least the other captured Capos haven't escaped on EPN and MAO. And anyway EPN needed the money from Chapo in order to pay the mortgage on his and the Mrs.'s mansion. -alias La Tutti. C t m
