January 24, 2014— At only 24 days of starting the new year, in the state of Mexico there has been at least 51 murders, mainly occurring in the metropolitan area of Mexico City. The fires that occurred on Sunday in the municipality of Tecámac, apparently, were not related to the “cockroach effect” of Michoacán.
According to a count from Revolución 3.0 based on newspaper articles, the violence of this entity, governed by Eruviel Ávila and in the past, Enrique Peña Nieto, has its own war which this month, would only be the tip of the iceberg.
Almost all of the murders that they’ve recovered have had ominous marks as other entities have recorded before.
This trend, moreover, seems to confirm the findings made a few weeks ago by the Citizen Council for Public Safety and Criminal Justice AC (Consejo Ciudadano para la Seguridad Pública y Justicia Penal A.C.), which warned that it was possible that some municipalities of the State of Mexico are in an imminent danger of being a “failed state”.
“Municipalities of the State of Mexico, and its suburbs, which have had an increasingly widespread rate of extortions by organized crime and homicides on the rise: Neza, Los Reyes La Paz, Chalco and Valle de Chalco, among others”, read the document “Municipalities of Mexico under the condition of a “failed state”.
