Drug War Bloomberg Originals: Why Mexico Is Militarizing

[Freddy]

Mexico has been facing significant challenges over the years, especially with the rise of powerful cartels that threaten the safety and security of its citizens. In response to this growing threat, Mexico has made its military the centerpiece in its fight against cartels, as well as in building public infrastructure under budget. This approach has raised eyebrows in the U.S., where there is a hesitancy to support such a strategy due to concerns about military involvement in domestic affairs.

The military has been successful in capturing high-profile cartel leaders, seizing large quantities of drugs, and dismantling criminal networks. This has led to a high approval rating for the military among Mexican citizens who see them as protectors of their safety and security.

While Mexico's reliance on the military to combat cartels and drive infrastructure development may seem unconventional to some, it has yielded positive results thus far.
