MEXICO: Football massacre showcases Guanajuato insecurity
A massacre following a local football match in Guanajuato has once again shone a light on the insecurity crisis facing the state, which consistently ranks as Mexico’s most deadly. Authorities have signalled that the attack was fuelled by a dispute between the Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG), one of Mexico’s two main drug cartels, and the Cártel de Santa Rosa de Lima, a local group mainly dedicated to fuel theft. The incident, just like high-profile killings at the end of last year in neighbouring Michoacán state, has highlighted the challenges facing the government led by President Claudia Sheinbaum in certain areas of the country.
