Mexico is facing a critical challenge as the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG) has reportedly infiltrated the institutions of the Mexican State. According to an expert in the field, this infiltration, while the extent is unclear, has been critical to the cartel's rapid expansion across Mexico.

The CJNG, a criminal organization based in Mexico, has been able to infiltrate government agencies, law enforcement, and judicial bodies, primarily through corruption and sponsorship by state actors. This infiltration has allowed the cartel to operate with near impunity, weakening the institutional integrity from within.

The infiltration's implications for the safety and security of Mexico are significant. The cartel's influence extends beyond the security sector, affecting energy and infrastructure sectors as well. Cartels exploit systemic corruption to siphon fuel and compromise state-owned enterprises such as Pemex, causing billions in losses.

Moreover, the CJNG has advanced into new criminal dimensions by targeting foreign nationals using modern digital tactics. For example, cartel-affiliated groups exploit dating apps to lure Americans into kidnappings for extortion or ransom.

Efforts focusing solely on killing cartel leaders have not weakened criminal groups like CJNG significantly. The corruption and infiltration across multiple layers of institutions enable the cartel’s resilience and power consolidation within Mexico.

In summary, CJNG's infiltration involves strategic corruption and coercion of Mexican institutions at multiple levels—security, financial, and infrastructure—allowing the cartel to expand territorially and diversify its criminal activities while undermining the state's authority and governance.

As this situation continues to evolve, it is crucial for the Mexican government to address the root causes of this infiltration and strengthen the integrity of its institutions to ensure the safety and security of its citizens and the stability of the nation.

On a lighter note, this weekend in Guadalajara, a free wrestling event featuring Místico, Averno, and Atlantis Jr. is scheduled. Let's hope for a more peaceful and entertaining spectacle than the ongoing struggle against the CJNG.

  1. The infiltration of various Mexican institutions by the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG) poses a significant threat to health and wellness, as the cartel's actions have led to a deterioration of public safety and security.
  2. To combat this, efforts should not only focus on medical-conditions or health-and-wellness initiatives within Mexico, but also address the root cause of the problem: the systemic corruption that allows the CJNG to infiltrate and manipulate key institutions, thereby ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the citizens.
