[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 2390894, member: 1294"] Autodefensas Report Surrounding Chayo and La Tuta's Hideout at Michoacan Mountain Ranch [url]http://www.borderlandbeat.com/2014/01/autodefensas-report-surroud-chayo-and.html[/url] Mexico Drug War: Michoacán in Flames Michoacán is in flames, but according to the government’s optimism it won’t last. According to Monte Alejandro Rubido, spokesperson for the Commission for the Security and Comprehensive Development of Michoacán, the effective deployment of the federal forces and the substitution of the police in 27 municipalities has resulted that the criminal groups’ room for manoeuvre is “practically reduced to zero”. Similar words were heard during the last two offensives. Today we know that they were a lie, mere words in the battle for public opinion. Their strategies were a failure. The bad guys maintain control of the territory, have grown their businesses and have expanded their influence in every ambit of society and state power. There is nothing to suggest that things will be different now. Among others, three new facts distinguish the current government plan from previous plans. First, the pressure from foreign investors to resolve the problem of public insecurity. Second, the war against the Knights Templar Cartel by self-defense groups, a simultaneous expression of public discontent and a creation of the government. And third, the direct intervention of the group from the State of Mexico [Peña Nieto’s home-state and therefore his political allies] in the political life of Michoacán, which is outside the federal [constitutional] structure. In late 2013, the military operations of the self-defense groups became an international scandal. The drug war in Michoacán became news for the foreign press. Foreign investors warned: structural reforms will not be of any use if the public insecurity problem is not resolved.
