This goes a long way in providing coverage on a state that so sorely needs it.<br /><br />I have many thoughts about what you have unearthed here. <br /><br />1. Your chart on homicides in Hidalgo is interesting as it shows the state is worse off now under the influence of these ephemeral, nameless groups than the widely reported on and feared Zetas in the early 2010s.<br /><br />2. Both the methods of violence (IED, coordinated jailbreaks) as well as the sophisticated tunnels prove the government narrative that any organized crime being low-level, false.<br /><br />3. This fits in the context of organized crime in Mexico becoming more focused on domestic markets (fuel, local drug sales) rather than trafficking internationally. As this happens, states like Hidalgo, Guanajuato, will become more violent. The geography of crime changes. <br /><br />4. And wow - Pemex makes it pretty difficult to gauge what is going on.<br /><br />Excellent job.

When he got into the Gov in 2018 he situated oil theft as his top public security priority. The problem with tackling the market for huachicol is that it is a criminal economy by its own merits and has developed huge and deep infrastructures that predate from Mexico´s resources and their wiping is truly difficult. Thus, since the only way to estimate the size of the huachicol market is through the number of illegal inteakes being reported, by silencing this data AMLO has managed to create the feeling that the sector has been eliminated. In fact oil theft has decreased -in some parts of the country notably- but still poses a great threat for public security. I would say the only way to estimate how much is stolen is through the analysis of PEMEX´s internal revenue and losses reports publicized in their own corporate webpage. Those reports used to have a section for "operational losses" where illegal intakes and oil theft were included. If you wanted to calculate the amounts of intakes you had to do math magic estimating the cost of repairing an intake and dividing it by the total cost of the repairments. Idk if PEMEX still reports such expenses though...<br />Hope you find this answer usefulRedlogarythmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08593438040715036502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-66821257953663515302023-04-28T11:53:26.395-06:002023-04-28T11:53:26.395-06:00why did Pemex stop updating fuel taps "tomas ...why did Pemex stop updating fuel taps "tomas clandestinas" in 2018? how can we know how mnuch is stolen?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-3150731549755611102023-04-28T09:40:26.837-06:002023-04-28T09:40:26.837-06:00My thanks for your answer My thanks for your answer Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-65522686431691872272023-04-28T09:35:01.766-06:002023-04-28T09:35:01.766-06:00Another good question.

The fight against huachicolero leaders -who were mostly working for the Cartel Santa Rosa de Lima- began as back as January 2016 with Operativo Jabalí, which was a failure. Then with Operativo Golpe de Timón AMLO tried to restrain oil theft activity, managed to capture most CSRL leaders and huachicol certainly has diminshed in Guanajuato, although it still poses a considerable degree of activity. In the case of Hidalgo the answer is no, there hasn´t been a Federal effort in tackling the huachicol business because the State is regarded as secondary and without a relevant criminal presence, which is blatantly false. Hidalgo´s oil theft bosses dissapear when captured or killed, but there is not such a thing as a unified strategy against this criminal marketRedlogarythmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08593438040715036502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-85934092778164652122023-04-28T09:17:20.110-06:002023-04-28T09:17:20.110-06:00It’s an impressive work for sure my sincere apprec...It’s an impressive work for sure my sincere appreciation for red logarithm.

I think it is Mapfre the entity currently holding the risk for PEMEX´s losses although the business used to be in the hands of Carlos Slim. Nevertheless the thing with these insurances is that they cover a fixed amount of losses. This means that if the activity of huachicoleros provokes losses above the quantity covered by the insurance PEMEX actually looses money. Besides, the management of the company has been so poor for the last two decades that the insurance companies holding the risk make sure two obtain optimal conditions that benefit them and not PEMEX.<br />Thanks for your interest compa, always appreciatedRedlogarythmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08593438040715036502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-26419985747860291922023-04-27T18:02:48.651-06:002023-04-27T18:02:48.651-06:00I imagine Pemex has some form of insurance for los...I imagine Pemex has some form of insurance for losses?
