translated from Spanish: ‘There is a danger that Mexico will be a narco-state’

Michoacan Governor Silvano Aureoles met with The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro, and asked him “not to abandon Mexico at the risk of becoming a narco-state.”
Through his Twitter account, the president said that during the meeting they discussed the national strategy against organized crime, based on the principle of “hugs, not bullets,” and the security crisis that has been triggered.
“Today I ask the @OEA_oficial not to abandon Mexico at the risk of becoming a narco-state. Mexico is a determining factor for the stability of the region and what happens in our country affects the entire continent,” he wrote.

He also asked to review the irregularities that were experienced in the elections of July 6, in which, he accused, organized crime has participated.

On June 29, the governor of Michoacán attended the National Palace to deliver to the president the “evidence” about the alleged intervention of organized crime in the electoral process in the state, however, they did not receive it.
President López Obrador said that he will not receive the governor of Michoacan because since it is an electoral issue, he must present the evidence he claims to have before the National Electoral Institute (INE), the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Power of the Federation (TEPJF) or the Special Prosecutor’s Office for Electoral Crimes (Fepade).
