MEXICO: The strategies of Peña Nieto’s top adviser
President-elect Enrique Peña Nieto’s chief security adviser, General Oscar Naranjo, Colombia’s former police chief, has recommended developing a two-track or ‘differential’ strategy in the government’s drive against the drug trafficking organisations (DTOs), with actions tailored for tackling separately the traffickers as such and the gangs of gunmen hired by the DTOs. He has also recommended taking what he admits is a gamble: setting a specific target for the reduction of violence in the first 100 days of the Peña Nieto administration.
