That’s what I’m saying. The mainstream corporate media forgets the literal bodies hanging off bridges in Veracruz when Javier Duerta gave the state away to the zeta cartels, literally. The chief of security was a Zeta member. Or when they arrested Tony Tormenta and Matamoros was a literally war zone (marine helicopter had to fire machine guns in the downtown area “call of duty” style) and then there’s Genaro Garcia Luna. He’s the architect behind the war in the cartels and yet was in the Sinaloa cartel payroll. But back then Mexico was under neoliberal government who Wall Street seems to love. That’s the real reason. AMLO is a nationalist and big business can’t stand that.

Using your logic, why wouldn't they move even closer, inside the US, instrad of Mexico? 😂 Leftist losers love to blame the US instead of accepting blame for their failures and weakness.

Honestly, I’d prefer the military to build infrastructure than fight wars. Hopefully they can create enough jobs and reasons for the cartel members to put down their guns and build.

Mexico needs to sit down with the leaders of the cartel and the state draws borders and territory. They stop the violence and Mexico will stop sending them to America
The alternative is actually clean up corruption instead of just trying to shunt work to the dept you believe to be less corrupt. This is basically AMLO using the easy route to make himself look better, without taking on the hard task he was elected to do. If you want a successful alternative, look at how Singapore or HK cleaned up corruption decades ago. All this way does is make the army more corrupt than it already is, fixing nothing.

Militarizing!? The title may sound sensational, akin to North Korea or Venezuela, but it's positive that the military is actively working and gaining expertise instead of idling for their pay. Projects are also being completed swiftly, unlike the previous administration which lasted almost a century.

@@edomarpez1840 Y solo eso alcanzaste a entender?, las administraciones pasadas cambiaban pero los proyectos seguían sin terminar ,en este caso los proyectos actuales están concluyendo
Was thinking along similar lines. The military gives those who normally might not have opportunities to gain an education, learn a trade, etc. It also gives these people/families an income, and I would hope benefits.
I've heard nothing but bad things about Mexico from the Mexicans I know from work. The only positive is that they say I could retire there on $100k pretty easily. lol
The moment you show Alvarez Icaza speaking, you drop all credibility. He did not say a world during the Felipe Calderon administration while being a part of it
What this report fails to point out is that AMLO has an 84% approval rating, the standard of living in Mexico has increased by over 268%, the percentage of people in poverty has decreased from 68% to less than 20%, the number of people in the middle class has increased from less than 13% to nearly 50%, almost 60% of those migrants coming to the United States now remain in Mexico because they find jobs in Mexico, even among the Ukrainian who entered the united states, many have chosen to return to Mexico after being disappointed with the quality of life in the United States. More Americans are migrating to Mexico than Mexicans are coming to the United States. In January of 2024, many Americans were deported back to the United States and 99.98% of them begged to go back to Mexico agreeing to pay their fair share of taxes and agreeing to comply with the Mexican laws and pay restitution for having failed to pay fines and update their Mexican residency papers. So Mexico isn't perfect but it seems like it's a place that even Americans are migrating to. Biden only has a less than 30% approval rating while Trump only has a 32% approval rating while AMLO has an 84 % approval rating.
This is such propaganda I’m weak, presidents have to make the toughest decisions, call it what it is but this transition to militarize had to be made to protect the infrastructure development of the country besides de rural and urban, from cooperation interest.
@@stayingfitandfocused And people like you continue to downplay the seriousness of the situation because muh racism or something. Mexico is a literal warzone whether you like it or not.

It was worse. I remember when Calderon and Peña Nieto were in office, we would go to Mexico for vacation and at the airport you had the Marines walking around inside the airport on patrol. Today you have the National Guard and they're not visibly armed.
It does not work. The army does not investigate anything. Only in 2023 they caught 3,200 people. when the Federal Police caught between 23,000 and 24,000 in 2018. The army does not investigate homicides, kidnappings. They are only from ornament.
@@unknownsender_ They are armed, byt the GN soldiers working customs usually arent armed or only have a pistol on them unlike the Marina whose people are always in full kit
@@Subawoooo so what’s the point of a national guard without weapons? They’re basically security at that point. They’re walking around all over Mexico without weapons that’s what’s crazy about it.
I love the National Guard and as a Mexican we trust in our government, we just have a huge cancer of corruption that little by little needs to be dealt with. When the Nat Guard is near my house, they are very professional and friendly. I wish I could say the same of the now no longer Federal Police.
As a US citizen - we should do the same because crime is out of control in our country and the police no longer does anything. In fact, local police is more concerned with being friends with the criminals and often times prosecutors go after the victims for defending themselves. Going to say we mind our own business on this one and focus on our own domestic problems.
This document doesn't point out that both Trump and Biden pressured Mexico into increasing its military force in order to strengthen its Southern border and that both Trump and Biden then freaked out when Mexico increased its military force so the Mexican president AMLO again started to decrease the number of Mexican military that causes an increase in migrants coming to the border which then had both Trump and then later Biden demand that Mexico again increased its military presence in the southern border, so the USA has this weird relationship with Mexico where we want Mexico to have a strong Southern border but we get paranoid the moment that they have too much military.
Just from the second I heard the background music, I knew this was not real journalism. This is a complete biased video pretending to misinform international opinion about an issue that has been growing for more than 30 years due to government negligence, and now they pretend that in 6 years everything will magically change. Why didn't you talk about the historic nexus of the PRI with the cartel? Why didn't you discuss the role of the USA in demanding more and more drugs every year, thus contributing to the insecurity issue? The insecurity and violence issue is more complex than this mediocre analysis. But let's be honest, what can we expect from partial journalism like Bloomberg?
Armando, This is true what you said, it may not be a a legitime journalism but what you call Professional Journalism, they are not any better. They all bias and all depends what the subject is about and who pays better.
Cope more. There is always demand for drugs. Your weakness is your own fault. Leftists always love to shift blame to the US instead of looking at their own, direct accountability.
Your point is barely half of the video. There is no benefit in putting civilian infrastructure projects into the hands of the army. They should be run by civilian government institutions. Egypt put infrastructure and entire industries into military control and it only gave to money the generals.
@@Oreo-xc9sd There I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with you, there are plenty of independent journalists on RUclips, who don't play some scary sounding background music on their videos and have a more profound analysis, with sources and interviews to other public figures.
Not sure exactly, though I assume there was a pretty coherent argument that was made at the time that such construction was a matter of national defense. Here the only thing I heard was military is pillar of Mexico or something.
We're not used to that. The military in Mexico (whichever branch) built only their own infrastructure (housing, hospitals, barracks, etc) so to suddenly see them in charge of all the government mayor construction proyects is unusual. In addition this administration pushed for the creation of a National Guard (mix of an old police branch with some navy and army personel) and on top of that now they're also in charge of all customs and airports
These people only criticize and never provide solutions to the problems. they never cared for El Salvador when the people were massacred on a daily basis but when Bukele decided to put these criminals behind bars these people only criticized, calling him a dictator. Now supposedly they care for Salvadorans human rights. The people want Bukele not you b.s
Bukele is a dictator lol people who really want change in their country follow rules...niot break them. Why hasnt bukele done the same thing AMLO did with Claudia?
Mexico is developing infraestructura by Mexican profesionales both military and civilians. Right now they have built and still building a great number of projects. So no thank you.Mexico does it need foreign help
@@minag503 yes, in projects that cost twofold or threefold what they oroginally were, plagued by corruption, bad quality and bad planning. Not only are the projects an environmental disaster, but the use of the military is to hide all information under "national security", using it for corruption.
Well, the projects run by the mexican government have costed 3 times more than they said they would, are full of corruption, and have the worst quality you could imagine. The ferinery has not refined even a gallon, and wont do it this year, when the president already said it was ready a long time ago. The airport has already have failures and nobody uses it. The Tren Maya was a complete ecocide, all the biodiversity lost, when the president said not even one tree would be cut. The main reason they use the military is to mark it as "national security" so news reporters cannot acces the contracts or money movements, making ti possible to have a ton of corruption under the water.
I doubt the National Guard even did more weapons seizures than the Federal Police all they do is make tiktoks and take pictures while the PF while being corrupt actually did a lot more against the war on drugs
I PRAY MEXICO CAN STOP ITS CORRUPTION IN GOVERNMENT AND REALLY START HELPING ITS PEOPLE ...MEXICO CAN BE A SUPER POWER IF IT CAN BECOME SAFER...MEXICO IS RICH IN FARMING MINERALS OIL MANUFACTERING..YOU HAVE IT ALL !
The politian thats in this video was in human rights in mexico when the 43 students where killed and he didnt do nothing in his power to help resolve or investigate because one of his party was involved that in the killings
Like AMLO said. Mexico is a Capitalist country. It sucks for Americans that consumerism is taking over. Mexico doesn’t have a opioid problem. The US does. You can’t blame Mexico for delivering what capitalism is asking for.
Its better for the army for them to build and protect and not killing and destroying like the US does and supports, No human rights have been broken in Mexico by this goverment and the US?
Why? Why not? I should ask since to build something via private enterprise, they used about 3 or more levels of subcontractors overcharging the cost in each level, and in most cases, they never finished nothing declaring bankruptcy or using a ponzi scheme or fake companies
The thing is that in practice, at least in mexico, the military has taken 3 or more times the cost they initially planned, all plagued with corruption. And guess what, because they are the military they hide all the information for "national security" so that we dont know who is being contracted or what is being paid.
What about Zaldivar? Your president literally confessed telling him what to do, which is not only unconstitutional but also antidemocratic. Morena is a disgrace to mexicans.
Bc according to the US constitution you cannot deploy US troops on US soil unless I’m the case the president declares marshal law or you use the national guard which are state militaries. You don’t see military in the US patrolling the streets, in neighborhoods etc

I'm pro left and pro the policies MORENA is on paper, but I don't think he is doing anything besides cementing his own power. It's a shame because both sides are horrible now. On one side you have the old PRI and the old guard alliance, who will do nothing to help and do everything to maintain the status quo. On the other side you have MORENA who I think is just trying to become the new PRI, especially since AMLO and all of his lackey's used to be part of PRI and have since tried to ignore that part of their history.

You say. “ Mexico 🇲🇽 is not secure “. But when the Mexican government sends troops to correct the issue now you call it “ militarization “. Read about Iraq 🇮🇶. Or the land that Mexico lost to the stealing of the land. Who is the agresor
No one stole your land…. You broke a treaty by going on military campaign in an attempt to conquest your own land and further your own borders. You lost the subsequent war which you caused and were forced to hand over land you claimed in the very conquest as your own and never was rightfully in the first place. The land ceeded by Mexico to the United States was land previously already deemed American territory by Spain two full decades before Mexico was even a country. You are trying to claim United States imperialism while using a Mexican imperialism argument 😂😂😂
Hahahah yeah, you live in the same imaginary mexico that AMLO talks about in his propaganda daily. Lets go ask people in Guerrero, Zacatecas, Chiapas and many other states how safe they feel. We can no longer ask the almost 40 candidates that were assassinated during these elections.
I don’t understand why people complain about the national guard as their police force… a lot of countries in Europe and Latin America use them.. that’s the best option for the Mexican country 🇲🇽
I am very proud of mexican Army and Guardia Nacional. They protect us against cartels and Hampa. You need to know that most (but not all) of mexican cities are safier than USA. This is due AMLOs not war policies.
Most of the Mexicans we support the train Maya,and our Nacional guard and remember we are a sovereign country and we are an independent republic so stayawayfrom our business.....we are very lucky that our Army is building trains and not inveiding and destroying countries like the USA 🇺🇸.
Dont be so glad, all of it has put us in an excruciating debt, has been plagued with corruption, and most of it doesnt work or has a really bad quality that has costed human lives. And lets not even get in the maintenance of what was already built. Everything is falling apart, but the president says its al fine and normal. This is not positive for mexico.
@@arminius6506 This exact phrase I have also heard about Pakistan. But sad to see the nature of things in the Post Arab spring world especially Egypt.

Egypt did a similar thing but to build a useless capital in the desert. This is to build a train system to compete with the Panama Canal at moving goods from Pacific to Atlantic and in and out of North America
Military should have honor and loyalty to the country and they should always be one step below civilian government. Military should not use it's power against it's citizens, in my country military refused to fight communist rebels because it's hard to distinguish from civilians and they are still citizens, so the government uses paramilitary forces under it to eliminate them.
This military is NOT using its power against it s citizens. Using its power against USs covert groups and USsagents who always try to destabalize MExco. They are not citizens. They are either traitors or USAa trained agents.
At the beginning of AMLO's term, the right was inciting the military to stage a coup against him. To avoid what happened in other countries like Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, or Peru, where the extreme right staged coups and even imprisoned their presidents, AMLO allied with the military. This alliance aims to prevent a future coup against the progressive model he proposes. If the right were to return to power and attempt privatization, they could be the ones facing a coup. It is a masterful move. However, the military in Mexico do not have significant investments in arms or anything of the sort. The Mexican and American right, with their corrupt interests, use the media to discredit AMLO's social democratic movement at all costs. Mexico is a miracle, as with just a third of what AMLO has achieved in Mexico, Salvador Allende in Chile was overthrown in the 1970s. The United States and the right have no choice but to allow Mexico to develop, especially now with nearshoring, as Mexico is the main trading partner of the United States. All this information on the video is very biased.
Amen.. Can't ignore that AMLO bought 2 Texas refineries n now controls the oil flow in this side of the world..lol Mexico sells oil n gas to USA now, used to be the other way around..
Mxico won’t develop to its full potential when Criollos still disproportionately control majority of the wealth and political pwer, which is causing the major inequality.
Yes and its largely made by folks from the political party that ran "tough on cartels drug war" that turned out to only impact the cartels that were not the Sinaloa Cartel because the Sinaloa Cartel had the people managing the drug war in their pocket. It was effectively a drug war only against the enemies of the Sinaloa Cartel under PAN/PRI. You can google freely for Luis Cardenas Palomino /Garcia Luna if you want to confirm the assesment.
The thing is... they put the Army and the Navy in construction tasks, such as in the airports to make the budgets of those projects "national security" issues and don't have to transparent the money expended in those projects.
And this lady asked AMLO a question in the Mañanera and got destroyed go check it out 😂😂 a lot of real independent media outlets in Mexico clowned her 😂

The United States military is also deeply ingrained in private business and government. And the National Guard can be activated for Federal missions including overseas warfare. The National Guard can also be used for suppression of dissent within the United States.
Why reporters from another country really cares about what or how México is doing? Look at osrael…. Doing but we don’t see this reporter saying anything about that! Why? 🤔🤔🤔
AMLO has place many infrastructure projects in the hands of the military because in the past 36 years during the neoliberalism era, corruption propagated like fire through all branches of government replacing construction companies with contractors that got government projects by influentism. If a project would cost 1 billion pesos, they would quote it for 2 and would keep on delaying. The project would end up costing 7-8 billion pesos and quality would be lacking. An example were hospitals built by the private sector for the government. A fully equipped hospital cost the military about 6billion pesos. Private sector would sign a contract with the government to build it and have the government pay the contractor 1 billion pesos each year for maintenance for 20 years. At the end of those 20 years the contract would be over and the hospital would remain property of the contractor, not the government. AMLO uses the arm forces to reduce the amount of tax payer money that goes into corruption so he can use it to help the poor. By the way Bloomberg, where's your Vulcan Materials investigation? 🤔🤔🤔

Weak presentation. Nothing new here. While criticism of the militarization may be fair, the report fails to present a viable, successful alternative.
Mexico needs to sit down with the leaders of the cartel and the state draws borders and territory. They stop the violence and Mexico will stop sending them to America
The alternative is actually clean up corruption instead of just trying to shunt work to the dept you believe to be less corrupt. This is basically AMLO using the easy route to make himself look better, without taking on the hard task he was elected to do. If you want a successful alternative, look at how Singapore or HK cleaned up corruption decades ago. All this way does is make the army more corrupt than it already is, fixing nothing.

Militarizing!? The title may sound sensational, akin to North Korea or Venezuela, but it's positive that the military is actively working and gaining expertise instead of idling for their pay. Projects are also being completed swiftly, unlike the previous administration which lasted almost a century. Poor communities are seeing changes and btw this interview only put people from the opposing sides who have money and are losing money to this government. Go out and interview random folks.
Swiftly?? ahahahaha what a joke!! The previous administration lasted 6 years as all of them do
@@edomarpez1840 Y solo eso alcanzaste a entender?, las administraciones pasadas cambiaban pero los proyectos seguían sin terminar ,en este caso los proyectos actuales están concluyendo
Was thinking along similar lines. The military gives those who normally might not have opportunities to gain an education, learn a trade, etc. It also gives these people/families an income, and I would hope benefits.
I've heard nothing but bad things about Mexico from the Mexicans I know from work. The only positive is that they say I could retire there on $100k pretty easily. lol

What this report fails to point out is that AMLO has an 84% approval rating, the standard of living in Mexico has increased by over 268%, the percentage of people in poverty has decreased from 68% to less than 20%, the number of people in the middle class has increased from less than 13% to nearly 50%, almost 60% of those migrants coming to the United States now remain in Mexico because they find jobs in Mexico, even among the Ukrainian who entered the united states, many have chosen to return to Mexico after being disappointed with the quality of life in the United States. More Americans are migrating to Mexico than Mexicans are coming to the United States. In January of 2024, many Americans were deported back to the United States and 99.98% of them begged to go back to Mexico agreeing to pay their fair share of taxes and agreeing to comply with the Mexican laws and pay restitution for having failed to pay fines and update their Mexican residency papers. So Mexico isn't perfect but it seems like it's a place that even Americans are migrating to. Biden only has a less than 30% approval rating while Trump only has a 32% approval rating while AMLO has an 84 % approval rating.

It was worse. I remember when Calderon and Peña Nieto were in office, we would go to Mexico for vacation and at the airport you had the Marines walking around inside the airport on patrol. Today you have the National Guard and they're not visibly armed.
It does not work. The army does not investigate anything. Only in 2023 they caught 3,200 people. when the Federal Police caught between 23,000 and 24,000 in 2018.
The army does not investigate homicides, kidnappings. They are only from ornament.

As a US citizen - we should do the same because crime is out of control in our country and the police no longer does anything. In fact, local police is more concerned with being friends with the criminals and often times prosecutors go after the victims for defending themselves. Going to say we mind our own business on this one and focus on our own domestic problems.
This document doesn't point out that both Trump and Biden pressured Mexico into increasing its military force in order to strengthen its Southern border and that both Trump and Biden then freaked out when Mexico increased its military force so the Mexican president AMLO again started to decrease the number of Mexican military that causes an increase in migrants coming to the border which then had both Trump and then later Biden demand that Mexico again increased its military presence in the southern border, so the USA has this weird relationship with Mexico where we want Mexico to have a strong Southern border but we get paranoid the moment that they have too much military.
Just from the second I heard the background music, I knew this was not real journalism. This is a complete biased video pretending to misinform international opinion about an issue that has been growing for more than 30 years due to government negligence, and now they pretend that in 6 years everything will magically change. Why didn't you talk about the historic nexus of the PRI with the cartel? Why didn't you discuss the role of the USA in demanding more and more drugs every year, thus contributing to the insecurity issue? The insecurity and violence issue is more complex than this mediocre analysis. But let's be honest, what can we expect from partial journalism like Bloomberg?
Armando,
This is true what you said, it may not be a a legitime journalism but what you call Professional Journalism, they are not any better. They all bias and all depends what the subject is about and who pays better.
Cope more. There is always demand for drugs. Your weakness is your own fault. Leftists always love to shift blame to the US instead of looking at their own, direct accountability.
Armando here sounds like the real reporter .
Your point is barely half of the video. There is no benefit in putting civilian infrastructure projects into the hands of the army. They should be run by civilian government institutions.

Wasn’t it the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that build the U.S. interstate system?
How is this different?
Our military corrupting is different from Mexican military corrupting
also gotta remember it was the legionaries that built the roads to Rome
Not sure exactly, though I assume there was a pretty coherent argument that was made at the time that such construction was a matter of national defense. Here the only thing I heard was military is pillar of Mexico or something.
Simple, this president is less likely to bed to the US's wishes.
We're not used to that. The military in Mexico (whichever branch) built only their own infrastructure (housing, hospitals, barracks, etc) so to suddenly see them in charge of all the government mayor construction proyects is unusual. In addition this administration pushed for the creation of a National Guard (mix of an old police branch with some navy and army personel) and on top of that now they're also in charge of all customs and airports
These people only criticize and never provide solutions to the problems. they never cared for El Salvador when the people were massacred on a daily basis but when Bukele decided to put these criminals behind bars these people only criticized, calling him a dictator. Now supposedly they care for Salvadorans human rights. The people want Bukele not you b.s

@@minag503 yes, in projects that cost twofold or threefold what they oroginally were, plagued by corruption, bad quality and bad planning. Not only are the projects an environmental disaster, but the use of the military is to hide all information under "national security", using it for corruption.
Yea, because it's cheaper to build the private companies charge 4 times more and most don't finish them
Well, the projects run by the mexican government have costed 3 times more than they said they would, are full of corruption, and have the worst quality you could imagine. The ferinery has not refined even a gallon, and wont do it this year, when the president already said it was ready a long time ago. The airport has already have failures and nobody uses it. The Tren Maya was a complete ecocide, all the biodiversity lost, when the president said not even one tree would be cut. The main reason they use the military is to mark it as "national security" so news reporters cannot acces the contracts or money movements, making ti possible to have a ton of corruption under the water.
National guard weapon seizures: 2814 > federal police weapon seizures: 2440 why is the bar significantly smaller on the graph?
National Guard Weapons Seizures and Detentions are the same number but totally different sizes visually. Very dishonest graph
Who ever made that bar graph should be let go. The narration was factually wrong if the data is correct.
Weak Bloomberg. Disappoint

This whole video is bias af. Manipulating info to skew your opinion. They call it “Journalism”
I doubt the National Guard even did more weapons seizures than the Federal Police all they do is make tiktoks and take pictures while the PF while being corrupt actually did a lot more against the war on drugs
This is a bias propaganda to discredit AMLO, but in fact he has done more for Mexico than any other president in it’s history.

Its better for the army for them to build and protect and not killing and destroying like the US does and supports, No human rights have been broken in Mexico by this goverment and the US?
Why? Why not? I should ask since to build something via private enterprise, they used about 3 or more levels of subcontractors overcharging the cost in each level, and in most cases, they never finished nothing declaring bankruptcy or using a ponzi scheme or fake companies
The thing is that in practice, at least in mexico, the military has taken 3 or more times the cost they initially planned, all plagued with corruption. And guess what, because they are the military they hide all the information for "national security" so that we dont know who is being contracted or what is being paid.

At the beginning of AMLO's term, the right was inciting the military to stage a coup against him. To avoid what happened in other countries like Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, or Peru, where the extreme right staged coups and even imprisoned their presidents, AMLO allied with the military. This alliance aims to prevent a future coup against the progressive model he proposes.
If the right were to return to power and attempt privatization, they could be the ones facing a coup. It is a masterful move. However, the military in Mexico do not have significant investments in arms or anything of the sort. The Mexican and American right, with their corrupt interests, use the media to discredit AMLO's social democratic movement at all costs. Mexico is a miracle, as with just a third of what AMLO has achieved in Mexico, Salvador Allende in Chile was overthrown in the 1970s.

Yes and its largely made by folks from the political party that ran "tough on cartels drug war" that turned out to only impact the cartels that were not the Sinaloa Cartel because the Sinaloa Cartel had the people managing the drug war in their pocket. It was effectively a drug war only against the enemies of the Sinaloa Cartel under PAN/PRI. You can google freely for Luis Cardenas Palomino /Garcia Luna if you want to confirm the assesment.

Mexico Should/Must focus on BORDERS !
AMLO has place many infrastructure projects in the hands of the military because in the past 36 years during the neoliberalism era, corruption propagated like fire through all branches of government replacing construction companies with contractors that got government projects by influentism. If a project would cost 1 billion pesos, they would quote it for 2 and would keep on delaying. The project would end up costing 7-8 billion pesos and quality would be lacking. An example were hospitals built by the private sector for the government. A fully equipped hospital cost the military about 6billion pesos. Private sector would sign a contract with the government to build it and have the government pay the contractor 1 billion pesos each year for maintenance for 20 years. At the end of those 20 years the contract would be over and the hospital would remain property of the contractor, not the government. AMLO uses the arm forces to reduce the amount of tax payer money that goes into corruption so he can use it to help the poor. By the way Bloomberg, where's your Vulcan Materials investigation? 🤔🤔🤔
