Matan a Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias ‘El Mencho’, en un operativo en México

Now we go live to Guadalajara, Jalisco, with our correspondent Alejandro Godin. Alejandro, tell us what the situation is there. We have heard of outbreaks of violence. Joana, it is correct. What is supposed to be a normal morning here in the city of Guadalajara and in its metropolitan area, has become a nightmare for millions of people here in the city. Let's remember that this is one of the largest cities in our country. An hour and a half from the point where I am, right behind me, is the road that goes to the municipality of Tapalpa,

which is a completely touristic municipality, in which, this morning, an operation was carried out by the Secretary of Defense, as confirmed a few minutes ago. During this operation, violence broke out, and according to the federal government, Nemesio Seguera, a.k.a.

El Mencho, who was wanted by Mexican and United States authorities, died. During this operation, three more people died and others were injured. But what broke out minutes later was hell. We are talking about at least nine points confirmed by the government of the state of Jalisco, where there were outbreaks of violence. What are we talking about at least nine points confirmed by the government of the state of Jalisco, where there were outbreaks of violence. What are we talking about?

About drug blockades. What is a drug blockade called? It is when a public private transport vehicle is stopped, it descends, in most cases, to the crew, it is set on fire and in this way some roads are blocked. As you can see behind me, the traffic in this place is scarce, as has been happening of the city. in other 10 municipalities in Jalisco and neighboring states. Joana, that's what happened here in Jalisco today. Alejandro, the governor of Jalisco, Pablo Lemos Navarro,

has issued a red code for residents of Jalisco.

What does that mean?

The red code means that there are situations of violence that put the integrity of the inhabitants at risk. But we are talking about a very large magnitude. Unfortunately, the violence in the state of Jalisco has been very large in recent years. And when this red code is officially mentioned, it is that people must protect their homes,

that they should not leave if there is no relevance situation. This for their own safety. Facts linked, the vast majority of cases to these drug blockades. I want to tell you something that is very important. Some videos of the Guadalajara airport are circulating through social media, where some people were seen running. It was said that some members of the crime have entered there.

However, the international airport of the city of Guadalajara has confirmed that these were psychosis facts and that so far it maintains its operations normally. Sin embargo, el aeropuerto internacional de la ciudad de Guadalajara ha confirmado que estos fueron hechos de psicosis y que hasta el momento mantiene sus operaciones con normalidad. Yoana. and the state of Jalisco, particularly in Puerto Vallarta, Chapala, also in Michoacán, Nuevo León, Guerrero and in Tamaulipas. We are going to connect now with Ana Mendes, who is in Mexico City, to tell us a little more about what is considered a victory in the security strategy of President Claudia

Schenbaum.

Go ahead, Ana, tell us.

That's right, Joana. An extremely long-awaited day for Mexican authorities and even for the authorities of Ana, cuéntanos. of the world, we can confirm that, is the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, an extremely powerful cartel and the main generator of armed violence in Mexico. It was a morning, as Alejandro said, extremely complicated in the state of Jalisco, and it is that the death of the mancho occurred in the municipality of Tapalpa, Jalisco, located south of the state, an area close, for example example, the state of Colima. However, roadblocks, fires, vehicles, presence of armed men were recorded in at least 10 cities in states such as Michoacán, Colima, Guerrero, Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, Nayarit,

Zacatecas, Tamaulipas. And for these facts, President Claudia Sheinbaum, who is on a business trip to Coahuila, was questioned. She only said that the security cabinet will be the one to report on this operation. And, Joanna, just a few moments ago, a statement was published by the Secretary of National Defense, who confirms this operation, where it says that military personnel were attacked, so in defense of their integrity, they repel an aggression, the The triangle confirms that Nemesio Oseguera, alias El Mencho, died in this transfer to Mexico City.

The corresponding authorities, I insist, will give a conference in the next few hours, so it is expected, and we will be giving more information.

Ana, but to put this in context about who El Mencho is, tell us about his origins, Cuéntanos sobre sus orígenes, porque en los últimos 16 años, el cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación se ha consolidado como el más poderoso y el más violento tras la captura del Chapo Guzmán.

Así es, únicamente se puede comparar con capos como el Chapo Guzmán, también el Mayo Zambada, ambos hay que recordar lo que están detenidos en Estados Unidos. the The authorities in this bulletin are collaborating. The US authorities collaborated in this operation. So we will wait. As I told you, it is development information, Joanna.

Thank you, Ana. Including a reward of $15 million for information that will lead to your capture. We will return with Alejandro Godina. Alejandro is from Jalisco. He has reported from this area where he is in Guadalajara. Tapalpa is 80 miles south of Guadalajara.

Tell us, Alejandro, have you ever seen the outbreaks of violence that have broken out there after the Mencho was shot down?

The clearest answer, Joana, is no, I definitely had not seen this in the time I lived here in the city of Guadalajara and that I had to report this in the time I lived here in Guadalajara and I had to report violent events. There were some isolated situations, some blockades in other places. However, I had not seen a situation like this and that caused something very important, which is what the inhabitants of the metropolitan area of Guadalajara are experiencing, a paranoia.

Why? Because through social media groups, many things begin to be mentioned. the something like this before in my career as a reporter, as a journalist, and I was telling you before entering the air a few minutes ago. It is incredible how this situation has been experienced minute by minute. When I start reading the news about it, seeing these reports, I knew it was something big, that what was happening in the different points of the state of Jalisco and neighboring states was not just any situation. And finally, when the death of Nemesio Seguera, alias El Mencho, the most wanted drug trafficker by the authorities in our country, was confirmed, we all confirmed why this situation was due here in the city of Guadalajara. Thank you Alejandro, we will continue to be aware of that press conference that the authorities

will give soon. But to recap, we are talking about the Bencho, the leader of the Jalisco Nueva Generación cartel, a cartel that has been operating for 16 years, which has influence, is estimated in 27 of the 32 states of Mexico, and it has its tentacles in 100 countries, it is the cartel with the highest capacity of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and fentanyl trafficking in the United States.

So it is a great victory for President Claudia Sheinman. Of course, this has come with consequences, such as those outbreaks of violence that Ana Mendes was talking about, which have occurred in the states of Jalisco, Michoacán, also Aguascalientes, Tamaulipas, Guanajuato and Colima. Of course, we are following this situation very closely. We will have much more on the impact and implications of the death of the MENCHO, who was shot down this morning by the Mexican Army in Tapalpan, in the state of Jalisco, Guadalajara, Nuevo León, Guerrero and Michoacán. Stay safe and take care.
