Claudia Sheinbaum criticized the US for lack of coordination in the arrest of “El Mayo” Zambada

The president-elect of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaumcriticized the US because “there was no coordination” in the capture of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambadawhose arrest in the United States unleashed a wave of violence in Sinaloa that has resulted in more than 40 murders in two weeks.

Sheinbaum supported the statements of the current president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obradorwho hours before attributed the internal struggle of the Sinaloa Cartel to the agreement of Joaquin Guzman Lopezone of the sons of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmanto deliver Zambada to the United States on July 25 by plane.

He also questioned the alleged negotiation between Washington and the faction of Los Chapitos, the sons of “El Chapo”, as shown by the change in the prison status of Ovid Guzmananother of the drug lord’s sons arrested in that country, after the arrest of Zambada, one of the co-founders of the Sinaloa Cartel.

“I believe that the important thing in the relationship with the United States, with the agencies, is that there is coordination. In this case, everything indicates that there was no coordination, but rather that there was an action based on issues that have not been fully explained, such as the release of one drug lord to arrest another,” Sheinbaum told the media.

The future president, who takes office on October 1, made these statements after López Obrador said in his morning press conference that the United States “is jointly responsible” for the current drug trafficking violence in Sinaloa for “having carried out that operation” against Zambada.

Lopez Obrador asserted that said operation “It can’t be right because they killed peopleit was totally illegal and agents from the United States Department of Justice were waiting for Mr. ‘Mayo’.

Sheinbaum agreed that “what can never be accepted is that there is no coordination and collaboration.”

“We are interested, of course, in building peace, in not having violence, we are also interested in not having fentanyl reach the United States, but The United States has to do the same at homewe do the same in our country, and coordinate, collaborate,” said the future head of state.
