Francisco Rivas: “There Is A Pact Between The Federal Government And Organized Crime”

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat


At the national level there is no strategy, there is a very nice rhetoric of 'Hugs, no bullets', we do not understand at what point that means that the Law is not respected": ONC

In Mexico there is no security strategy, only a rhetoric that, far from combating impunity and addressing insecurity, agrees with organized crime, while local corporations are weakened and the country is militarized, assured the director of the National Citizen Observatory, Francisco Rivas, in an interview with ZETA.

The analyst predicts that by the end of the six-year term, the criminal incidence will remain as it has been until now, and although he acknowledges a slight decrease in the commission of some serious crimes, as there is no clear strategy, there is no downward trend; mainly due to factors such as the reduction in the federal budget allocated to the security branch.

“In security spending, we went from 1.2% of GDP with (Felipe) Calderón, to 1% with Enrique Peña Nieto and 0.89% in the first year of AMLO. Today we are at 0.47% that has been allocated to the local police, the FGR, National Guard, Sedena and the Navy”, argued the director of the ONC.

The foregoing affects the budgets for the professionalization and training of the police and prosecutors, improvements in working conditions and work equipment, leaving them with zero resources to operate, while on the other hand resources are diverted to the Armed Forces and their Infrastructure works.

"We made a cross between homicides, disappearances and the presence of federal forces and the six most violent states in the country, all governed by the Morena political party and with a greater presence of federal forces," Rivas said.

THE AGREEMENT WITH CJNG AND CDS

Another factor that influences the panorama of insecurity in the country lies in an express pact between the Federal Government and criminal groups. Francisco Rivas asserted that in conversations with the military, National Guard agents, prosecutors and Secretaries of Security, they have confessed to the federal order to let the Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) and Sinaloa (CDS) cartels pass.

“When you talk to the GN and the military in short, they tell you, that they have been instructed to let them pass; when you talk to local prosecutors and Secretaries of Security, they tell you what happens, even when there is an arrest, there is an intervention by the Federation to release them, ”he revealed.

In addition, he exemplified the President's statements that when a criminal group controls a certain area, the levels of insecurity are low; He also highlighted what former Governor Jaime Bonilla and the mayor of Tijuana, Montserrat Caballero, said about what happened on August 12 in Baja California.

THE BUSINESS IS IN EXTORTION

Unlike other years, in which the criminal structures moved from state to region to continue operating when there was an arrest, now their mode of operation is to change the business. They leave a crime for another more profitable one and it is still not detected by the authorities.

“Today the main crime carried out by organized crime is extortion in various forms: face-to-face or through the control of legal markets, of the production and distribution of products; they also do it against the municipal authorities, where they come for public money, appoint officials or award public works that don't exist,” said Francisco Rivas.

THEY ARE NOT LOOKING FOR THE DISAPPEARED

According to Rivas, fewer homicides are reported to prosecutors because a structure has been systematically created to limit the search for disappeared persons.

“The Search Commissions don't have personnel, they don't have money, they don't have anything and they rectify as best they can, there are no reagents, they don't know how to identify them; sometimes they have taken animal bones to laboratories, because there are no forensic archaeologists, there are no forensic dentists, a whole structure is missing, ”he stressed.

PROSECUTORS LIE

In the opinion of the head of the ONC, the prosecutors lie by not keeping the chain of connected crimes, they only report the most serious crime; if there was rape and homicide, they only report the homicide, he explained.

There are three categories for kidnapping: express, extortive and illegal deprivation of liberty. As of 2019, this last method increased, and kidnappings decreased to the same extent, "it is very evident that in Baja California it increased 193% in one year," Francisco Rivas pointed out.

  1. To the good, honest and hard-working people of Mexico who have suffered mercilessly, unconscionable suffering and cruelty by thug entities:

    I share with you the devastating news that my Queen Elizabeth ll has just passed away. She visited Mexico as a diplomat in 1975 and 1983.

    I wish that you may find comfort and hope not just in her words but her lifelong actions from the Queen's speech on her 21st birthday, 1947:

    "I declare before all of you that my whole life, long or short, will be dedicated to your service and to the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.

    But I will not have the strength to carry out this resolution alone unless you join me, as I now invite you to do: I know that your support will be unfailingly given. God help me to fulfill my vow, and God bless all who are willing to share it."

    Al pueblo bueno, honesto y trabajador de México que ha sufrido sin piedad, un sufrimiento y una crueldad desmesurados por parte de entidades matones:

    Comparto con ustedes la devastadora noticia de que acaba de fallecer mi Reina Isabel II. Visitó México como diplomática en 1975 y 1983.

    Deseo que pueda encontrar consuelo y esperanza no solo en sus palabras, sino también en sus acciones de toda la vida del discurso de la Reina en su 21 cumpleaños, 1947:

    “Declaro ante todos ustedes que toda mi vida, larga o corta, estará dedicada a su servicio y al servicio de nuestra gran familia imperial a la que todos pertenecemos.

    Pero no tendré la fuerza para llevar a cabo esta resolución solo a menos que ustedes se unan a mí, como ahora los invito a hacer: sé que su apoyo será indefectiblemente dado. Dios me ayude a cumplir mi voto, y que Dios bendiga a todos los que estén dispuestos a compartirlo".

  5. Mexico should put most of their emphasis on providing detailed inspections at all incoming traffic at their te ports of entry. This crack down on ammunition, firearms , and cash will cause some significant damage to these organizations

    2. Why would Mexico want to stop a multibillion dollar smuggling industry? That’s dollars btw, not pesos. Mexican government and the elite have relied on proceeds from the illegal drug trafficking business for decades.

      Even in the highly unrealistic scenario in which they somehow severely cracked down on port of entry smuggling; they’re still not gonna stop all that comes through ships and planes and tunnels.

      I agree 👍.
      People don't see the smoke and mirrors. They don't realize in order for curupt officials, to continue getting bribes while in office, they have to let cartels and curupt military officers run the show. Lopez Obrador is the go between, aka the puppet.

  6. what he doesnt mention is that drugs and crime are now the biggest business in Mexico. Bigger even than oil.
    But the cost of being a corrupt narco criminal state in destroyed property, lost foreign investment, cost to businesses, businesses forced to close, businesses that wont open, security costs to businesses, loss of tourism, oil theft, cost in additional policing, military, court, prison. Costs of loss of life and general insecurity, loss of actual and potential tax revenue, costs in extortion, crime, theft, social costs like forced displacement, property and infrastructure loss and damage such as repairing pipelines and buildings, insurance costs, people not educated due to criminal involvement and closures of schools, oil theft, corruption costs like corrupt state contracts etc etc etc are more than the entire drug and oil revenues. The only winners are the cartel leaders and corrupt government employees. And most cartel employees earn less than they would in normal jobs if the Mexican economy was growing and thriving which it would if the costs I mention above did not exist. They would all have better paying safe jobs than they now have as poorly paid cartel cannon fodder as only a small percentage of cartel members make meaningful amounts of money. This is what Amlo and the corrupt Mexico are hugging while the nation collapses with over 50% of the country under direct narco rule and the rest under partial rule by serial killer criminal gangs

      Military corruption has got their evil military ways from international intelligence cooperations that reduced member countries to Banana Republic Status, even Venezuela after more than a 100 years of exploitation of their oil resources has little more than banana peels to show for it.

    9. 1:05 Venezuela was not communist for most of the 100 years certain corrupt americans exploited their country's oil resources and turned it into a Banana Republic, shit, even before Hugo Chavez was born, Vemezuela was all fucked up, and then including during his military "career".

  8. Another huge cost is replacement/loss of investment cost. For example the electricity workers who were killed. The money lost in educating them to the level required for their jobs and the cost of their replacements plus the social costs to their families and children not having a father and earner plus police costs to attend the kill site and record the death(I dont include investigating as they wont do anything to catch the killer). Then the cost of remoter regions whose infrastructure is not maintained as its too dangerous to go there. etc etc There are countless hidden costs which are destroying the Mexican economy

  9. With police, governors all the way down to the local people in that area.
    Mexico is a drug dealers paradise until the U.S of A decides to replace them

  11. This means hardly anyone is not corrupt and the civilians don't care to root out the corruption, because if you have a crime job as long as you're not in jail you're "OK" ...

    1. This guy is full of crap. Agreement with CJNG and CDS? Cause theres less crime when one group control an area? Then why are these two groups going at it in so many places? Even in places where one group is dominant theres been a lot going on. Look at Sonora, even Jalisco. And this fool talks about less money is being spent on security apparatus when in alot of places police are being paid more and better equipped. Alot of the things that he mentions are going on have been happening since before AMLO. The difference is that AMLOs government has been going after corruption and has prosecuted corruption more than any other government hands down. Mexico has been corrupt for awhile and alot of them corrupted individuals have benifited from it greatly. There's going to be resistance against change. And it's going to take awhile to to change. It sure isn't going to happen over night. It's going to take more than one term to get it done.
