Paradisiacal places in the Atlantic coasts of Mexico have turned the place into a hell due to the preference that drug traffickers have on them. Cancun is one of these cities that have been invaded by soldiers and drug cartels who engage in a constant fight. While, cartels increase their power in those regions, many people are deeply worried of the army intervention to put in danger democracy.
Cartels in Mexico have increased their power in many ways: having judges and lawyers on their side as well as corrupt policemen who offer them security as well. The Mexican president without knowing what to do asked the army to help him to dissolve this dirty business. But, cartels try to be settled in those tourists regions because there are foreigners that are interested to intervene in their business as well. That possibility to commerce abroad is fundamental for the cartels to stay in the Caribbean coasts. Such is their power that many marches are promoted by these cartels and it is said that the people who go in representation of the cartels are paid for them.
The army on the other hand tries to control and attack the drug dealers if necessary. But it is sometimes a bit tough when doing their routine. They check anyone who seems suspicious. Although there is a veil on the army’s procedures, it is claimed that the army overuses their position and power and abuses of people’s rights. This is supported by the human rights committee from Mexico who is afraid of the future consequences of the army intervention in almost 11 states of this country.
To sum up, the negligence of giving a special power to those who fight and are taught to defend the country to any costs is really worrying for democracy in the Caribbean. Limits must be placed after reaching consensus among every single citizen in Mexico and trying to disintegrate cartels by in jailing those who are corrupted by the dirty money it comes from drugs trafficking.
