Regardless of López Obrador’s assurances that Mexico was secure for journey, the FBI confirmed final week that three different girls from the small Texas city of Peñitas have been lacking in Mexico since late February.
“Mexico is safer than america,” López Obrador mentioned at his morning information briefing. “There is no such thing as a drawback in touring safely in Mexico.”
Mexico’s nationwide murder price is about 28 per 100,000 inhabitants. By comparability, the U.S. murder price is barely one-quarter as excessive, at round 7 per 100,000.
The president disregarded continued concern over violence. Presently, the U.S. State Division has “don’t journey” advisories for six of Mexico’s 32 states stricken by drug cartel violence, and “rethink journey” warnings for an additional seven states.
“It is a marketing campaign in opposition to Mexico by these conservative politicians in america who are not looking for the transformation of our nation to proceed,” López Obrador mentioned.
The Mexican president included U.S. media shops within the supposed conspiracy.
“These conservative politicians … dominate the vast majority of the information media in america,” he mentioned. “This violence will not be a actuality,” he added. “It’s pure, vile manipulation.”
