00:03:30the moment it seems that the United States has what ingredients should one have to be successful in the

00:03:36very well done, do what
00:03:40matters, what adds value
00:03:43do this always with
00:03:45a team eh that's how we all win

00:04:01Pope Leo XIV will return to Peru in November as part of his first
00:04:05tour of Latin America since he assumed the Pontificate. The trip will also
00:04:09include Uruguay and Argentina, but we say he
00:04:12will return to Peru because it was in that country that he lived for two decades as
00:04:16a missionary and bishop of Chiclayo and where
00:04:18he retains his citizenship. In the country, many consider him one of their
00:04:22own, a Peruvian, and they are already preparing a massive reception for someone who,
00:04:26before arriving at the Vatican, dedicated a large part of his life to pastoral
00:04:30work.
00:04:46in that setting of objectives and
00:04:49relationships eh, we have to maintain
00:04:53all that has been advanced. We haven't talked about other chapters like
00:04:56equality between men and women, like
00:05:00working conditions, like the distribution of wealth, which is
00:05:03one of the problems that globalization has had,
00:05:06that is to say, well, you have to be thinking about a distribution of
00:05:10wealth that works, that doesn't create
00:05:15the tension, and we no longer have time for that, of the
00:05:19recent times, is very very based on that
00:05:22tension produced by the global economy.
00:05:40To understand the world I need to
00:05:42seek the truth. Let's go back to the time when we had to be
00:05:46much more human, that's why we follow the facts
00:05:50wherever they lead us, no matter how far we have to
00:05:54go. From internal stories, there are new
00:05:57statements from President Donald Trump, to an external
00:06:00perspective, we delve into

00:06:40I ask you to join me from this moment on. using the hashtag #ConclubViolencia
00:06:44Mexico #ConclubViolencia Mexico. Remember that I receive all your comments
00:06:48on my X account at @ ivanPZS.
00:06:52In Mexico, violence is a persistent problem that, however,
00:06:55continues to gain notoriety in public debate, and even more so in
00:06:59Sinaloa, a state where for almost two years a virtual civil
00:07:02war broke out between criminal groups after the arrest of Ismael "El Mayo"
00:07:06Zambada, leader of the Sinaloa cartel. This is the case of
00:07:09César Gastelum, known on social media as "Cesarín", who was
00:07:1325 years old, was a content creator and streamed on social networks
00:07:17when he was murdered this Tuesday while streaming
00:07:20live in the middle of the street in Culiacán, capital of Sinaloa. The Mexican security
00:07:24cabinet reported this Wednesday that it was a direct
00:07:27aggression and that one of the lines of investigation is a series of
00:07:30publications that, I quote, "alluded to a faction of a criminal
00:07:34group." My colleague Rey
00:07:36Rodríguez,
00:07:39has more information.
00:07:42in Culiacán, Sinaloa, again raised alarms
00:07:46about security in the country. How did these events
00:07:50happen? Gastelum
00:07:53was streaming live on a street with friends when two individuals approached
00:07:57him, shot him and then
00:08:00fled. State and federal authorities
00:08:04are working together to identify the
00:08:07perpetrators. Gastelum was known for
00:08:11his comedy videos and had almost
00:08:14600,000 followers on TikTok. The murder
00:08:17occurs amid persistent violence in Sinaloa,
00:08:21the epicenter of a conflict between factions
00:08:24of the Sinaloa cartel since September
00:08:272024.
00:08:29Among the lines of investigation are some
00:08:32publications in which Gastelum alluded to
00:08:35a faction of a criminal group, according to authorities'
00:08:38investigations. Gastelum's crime recalled the assassination.
00:08:57According to the prosecution, Márquez, 23, was allegedly murdered after a man entered her salon and opened
00:09:00fire. Gastelum's murder, which has
00:09:04caused a stir in the country, occurs one day
00:09:07after the Mexican government highlighted a 16%
00:09:11decrease.
00:09:33Obviously, the material
00:09:36perpetrators and, in any case,
00:09:39the intellectual author must
00:09:42be arrested and the reason why this
00:09:46regrettable murder occurred must be known. But
00:09:49Gastelum's death not only raises questions about who killed him and why,
00:09:52it also exposes a broader reality, as my colleague Rey Rodríguez just said, it is not the
00:09:56first case in which neither visibility, nor witnesses, nor a
00:10:00real-time transmission seem to be a barrier. For years, the
00:10:03official debate has revolved around figures, strategies and explanations for each
00:10:07case, but for many Mexicans the daily experience is different, the
00:10:11feeling that insecurity remains a harsh
00:10:14reality and in the midst of this acute context, the United States increased
00:10:18pressure against the violent Jalisco New Generation cartel. Today,
00:10:21the Donald Trump administration announced a new round of rewards totalling
00:10:25102 million dollars for information leading to
00:10:28the capture of eight of its alleged leaders. Among the targets
00:10:32is Juan Carlos Valencia González, alias "Pelón", identified by
00:10:35U.S. authorities as one of the cartel's new
00:10:39leaders. For him alone, they are offering up to 25 million
00:10:42listed with rewards of up to
00:10:4615 million dollars. In addition, the United States announced visa restrictions against
00:10:5065 relatives and associates of
00:10:53individuals allegedly linked to the cartel. Let's hear what the acting
00:10:57U.S. Attorney General, Tad
00:10:59Blanche, said.
00:11:04the Department of State, more than 100 million dollars in
00:11:07rewards for information leading to the arrest, not only
00:11:11of the five individuals whose charges were revealed today, but also of
00:11:15three other leaders of the Jalisco New Generation cartel, previously
00:11:18accused in cases that had already been made public.
00:11:22This is, once again, a continuation of our efforts to
00:11:26eliminate the cartels that have affected this country for too
00:11:29long. Narcoterrorist organizations such as the Jalisco
00:11:33New Generation cartel are responsible for countless deaths of
00:11:36American citizens. These
00:11:39sophisticated organizations use violence and
00:11:42fear to maintain control over the importation of lethal narcotics
00:11:45into the United States, including fentanyl, cocaine,
00:11:49methamphetamines, and other illegal drugs. Their actions
00:11:53bring violence and death to our
00:11:55communities.
00:11:58what does this new case and the new measures from the United States tell us? We will discuss
00:12:02it with my next
00:12:02guest,
00:12:07welcome to Conclusiones, Carlos Matienzo, co-founder of Ataín
00:12:11Mexico, a security consultancy. Thank you for being
00:12:14with us, Carlos. I start by asking you
00:12:17specifically about this case of
00:12:19Gastelum, eh, it calls attention,
00:12:23is there anything that changes in this crime or is it simply
00:12:27raising the stakes in a spiral of violence
00:12:30that cannot be ended? Yes, well,
00:12:33first, hello. This case happened in Sinaloa, which has
00:12:37been territory, as you well said, of an internal war of the Sinaloa
00:12:40cartel. It is one of the most violent states in Mexico at the moment
00:12:44and it is a war where the Mexican army is also involved
00:12:48with its special forces and cannot stop the violence. It also
00:12:51shows us the level of penetration
00:12:55of organized crime in a society like Sinaloa. We have seen
00:12:59murders not only of, let's say, members of the cartels,
00:13:03but also of politicians, we have seen murders of businessmen and of
00:13:06several young members who
00:13:09use social networks, influencers and their relatives,
00:13:12there have even been direct threats to some others, that is to say the impunity
00:13:16with which this happens, the murder that
00:13:19was broadcast live
00:13:22happened one block from the state
00:13:26attorney general's office, that level of operation and penetration
00:13:30exists in Sinaloa by organized crime, and it is a
00:13:33news that, as you mentioned, directly
00:13:36clashes with the somewhat triumphant narrative of the
00:13:39government, which, although it has some basis, yes, homicides
00:13:43have fallen relatively little in Mexico, 16%,
00:13:46it must be said that Mexico continues
00:13:49to have very high levels of violence compared to the rest of the
00:13:53world and that not all of Mexico is the same, there are states that, of course,
00:13:56are pacified, where life is normal, but there are states like
00:14:00Sinaloa where we can speak of an internal armed conflict, even
00:14:04among criminal organizations.
00:14:07We recently referred to what the United States has
00:14:11said with all its actions, these rewards and so on, can
00:14:15that serve as pressure for situations like
00:14:19these to finally change, because for years in Mexico there has been talk of
00:14:22violence, of eradicating violence, something. governments show
00:14:26better or worse security statistics,
00:14:29but periodically we continue to talk about crimes that are
00:14:32truly horrifying, eh, can U.S. pressure
00:14:36help in any way for this to change or will it also
00:14:40remain among government disputes and other issues in more political and
00:14:43less practical matters? I would say it's already having an
00:14:47effect, let's remember where we come from in Mexico, the previous
00:14:51government, the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador promoted
00:14:54this... strategy, if we can call it that, of security called "hugs
00:14:57not bullets" which basically
00:15:01translates into having shrunk the Mexican state, stopping
00:15:04attacking organized crime so much with the hope that they would also
00:15:08reduce the incentives to commit violence. This
00:15:12generated two effects: first, they did not stop killing or fighting
00:15:15criminal organizations, basically violence stabilized in
00:15:19Mexico, but on the other hand they strengthened, they took
00:15:23control of some states and municipalities.
00:15:25they got involved in politics, in new businesses, such as hydrocarbons
00:15:28in our country, with the arrival of
00:15:32Donald Trump and the designation of the cartels as terrorists is when
00:15:35a very strong pressure comes on the Mexican government and for the first time also
00:15:39on the narcopoliticians, the politicians who have colluded with
00:15:42organized crime, remember speaking of Sinaloa that the governor of
00:15:46Sinaloa, at this moment is on leave, is being
00:15:50requested for extradition by the United States, so
00:15:54yes, there has been a very important change that has pushed the federal government of
00:15:57Mexico, the new government of Claudia Sheinbaum to have a more
00:16:01aggressive stance, to resume the fight, basically to revive the
00:16:05war against organized crime against them... in our country
00:16:08this has had apparently some good
00:16:11effects, there are states that are being pacified because again the
00:16:14Mexican state, the federal government has stepped in to
00:16:18try to establish order, but also on the other hand this has moved
00:16:21internally the structures, the stabilities
00:16:24of the organized crime groups themselves, for example in
00:16:28Sinaloa the arrest of El Mayo Zambada was what generated
00:16:32an internal division between the sons of Chapo Guzmán and the sons of El
00:16:35Mayo Zambada, which is what has caused these levels of violence and
00:16:39conflict in that state, so it's a bittersweet
00:16:42taste. The issue is also that the Mexican government seems not to want
00:16:46to go to the ultimate consequences, it has not fully addressed the
00:16:50issue of colluding politicians and on the contrary has resisted these
00:16:54extraditions requested by the United States.
00:16:57Carlos, let's pause here, let's take a break and then continue talking about this topic with Carlos
00:17:01Matienzo, a brief break and we'll be back here on

00:18:51inquire into the why of things, get to the bottom of the facts,
00:18:55here you will see what makes news and everything that
00:18:58impacts your day to day. CNN America with Rebeca
00:19:01Kelly, Monday to Friday on
00:19:03CNN.
00:20:16I am Andrés Oppenheimer in Miami, we are
00:20:19CNN.
00:20:24I continue with Carlos Matienzo, co-founder of Ataín Mexico, a security
00:20:28consultancy. Carlos, we were just talking a bit
00:20:31about Gastelum's crime, I want to ask you about the fact that he was
00:20:35an influencer, he is not the first influencer
00:20:37to have died in such a horrifying way as this, eh, that an
00:20:41influencer was chosen in the place where he was, what does this
00:20:45tell us about this crime, why are these types of
00:20:49people chosen? Well, first, in the context of
00:20:52Sinaloa, it must be remembered that many of these
00:20:54influencers eh, part of their content also refers
00:20:58to organized crime, they show a way of life eh
00:21:02supposedly related to organized crime,
00:21:05ostentatious, the culture of Sinaloa and that is an essential
00:21:08part of the problem, it is very permeated by what
00:21:11we call narcoculture in Mexico, music, influencers,
00:21:14etc., apparently in this specific
00:21:18case, what we know so far, one of the lines of investigation is
00:21:22that in one of the videos he makes a reference to
00:21:25El Mayo Zambada, he says pure people from El Mayo Zambada
00:21:29and well, this could have generated this consequence, but in the case of
00:21:33other influencers it has also been because they use them for
00:21:36money laundering, that is the other big problem in the case of
00:21:40Sinaloa that many of these influencers who set up
00:21:43businesses that also through their social accounts
00:21:47have their own businesses are already financially linked with
00:21:50some of the cartels, I think it is very important for the rest of Latin America
00:21:54to understand that the level of
00:21:57co-optation and collusion between organized crime and society
00:22:01in places like Sinaloa is very deep, people know
00:22:05who the members of organized crime are, there are many
00:22:08businessmen, in this case influencers, governors
00:22:12who coexist with these types of criminals and
00:22:18them, this generates a series of consequences, what we have
00:22:21seen particularly is that when the Sinaloa cartel divided,
00:22:25not only did they start attacking each other, the ones
00:22:28carrying the AK-47s, but they also attacked the
00:22:31businessmen, the influencers, the journalists,
00:22:34the members of the government who were identified with
00:22:37one or another faction, we do not know in this specific case if
00:22:41he really had ties or simply committed the
00:22:44imprudence of praising one of these
00:22:48criminals and the other group reacted.
00:22:50which is just as serious, because even such essential freedoms as
00:22:53freedom of expression in Mexico cannot be exercised to
00:22:56the fullest.
00:23:00the Secretary of State
00:23:04in the United States said, eh we were talking about the influence
00:23:07that the United States can have in trying to change this, taking into account what
00:23:11Tod Blanche just said, can this serve to finally
00:23:14change or will it depend on the Mexican government, the Mexican authorities
00:23:18as a whole, deciding to go
00:23:21deep into this issue? I mean, how far can the United States
00:23:24influence this? Look, the
00:23:27pressure from the United States has been somewhat ambivalent, at
00:23:31times the pressure on the Mexican government has been strong,
00:23:34but at times they also loosen up a lot with the Mexican
00:23:38government, because you have to understand that the relationship between Mexico and the United States
00:23:41is very complex, because yes, in
00:23:44some things the United States depends on Mexico, it depends on intelligence
00:23:47collaboration, counterterrorism, the trade issue, so I don't
00:23:50know how much more the United States government will give
00:23:54to continue pressuring the Mexican government, which has already set its
00:23:57line. The specific case of the governor of Sinaloa, I think, has been the
00:24:00most contentious between Mexico and the United States, since the United States
00:24:04requests the extradition of this governor in office of
00:24:07Sinaloa with a very well substantiated case of collusion with organized
00:24:11crime and the Mexican government has not
00:24:14wanted to extradite him so far, it seems that there they drew their red line and for
00:24:20accepted that red line, it has not insisted on the extradition of the
00:24:23governor. Unfortunately, the other big problem in Mexico is that the ruling
00:24:27party, Morena, in many states there are serious
00:24:30indications that they colluded with some of the cartels and the big question
00:24:34that we Mexicans ask ourselves is whether the same people who colluded with the
00:24:38cartels can fight them or
00:24:42regime in Mexico. That said, democracy is also
00:24:45being undermined and we don't know if there will be
00:24:49possibilities in the next presidential
00:24:52elections for a free, democratic change of regime,
00:24:56as had happened until now in our country.
00:24:59Now, thinking about the ruling party, I mean, the coexistence between
00:25:03politics and drug trafficking is only with Morena,
00:25:07eh, the other parties, the Mexican opposition, have not had anything to do with all this and have nothing to
00:25:11do with it either, I mean, it's hard to believe that it's only the ruling party and not
00:25:14basically almost the entire political system to a greater or lesser extent,
00:25:18right? Historically, there have been cases of everything, practically
00:25:21all political parties have had cases of narcopolitics, I think the
00:25:25dimension it has taken on with Morena, there are too many
00:25:29cases at very high levels, governors, very strong
00:25:32evidence of governors who apparently received
00:25:35money, there is a very serious case of illicit campaign financing through
00:25:39the whole fuel smuggling plot linked to one of the
00:25:43cartels and I think there was too much tolerance, to give an example, Enrique
00:25:46Peña Nieto put, if I'm not mistaken, six or five governors
00:25:50of his party in jail, one of them for the specific issue
00:25:54of having colluded with organized crime,
00:25:57the government of López Obrador and that of Claudia Sheinbaum have not prosecuted
00:26:01just one of the rulers. There is also a very serious problem of impunity and
00:26:05I believe that this comes from the "hugs not bullets" policy, that there was a certain
00:26:09tolerance for some rulers to negotiate to see if they could
00:26:12pacify the country. They did not succeed and some of them ended up
00:26:16committing crimes.
00:26:19Carlos, thank you for being with us. That was Carlos Matienzo, co-founder of Ataín
00:26:23Mexico, a security consulting firm. We have been talking about such a
00:26:27painful, profound, and complicated topic as
00:26:30organized crime in Mexico. Thank you for being with us tonight here on
00:26:33Conclusiones. A greeting,
00:26:38the end of the program. Don't go anywhere.
00:26:40Here
00:26:44on CNN, news comes
00:26:46first.
00:26:50Today with Carolina Molinares, the Capitol has already made ready the funds
00:26:53for the Department of Homeland Security. When there is a lot at stake,
00:26:57we cut out the noise to inform you clearly about
00:27:00the issues and policies that impact you. From the decisions made in
00:27:04Washington to their repercussions throughout the United
00:27:07States, Latin America, and the world. At what point are
00:27:11relations with the United States? Relations between the United States
00:27:15and Cuba have always been abnormal. Direct USA
00:27:18is that window through which you can enter the United States and see what is
00:27:22happening in this country. We follow
00:27:25the story from all angles to bring you the
00:27:29facts directly. Groups of pro-immigrants
00:27:32filed a lawsuit. From our studios in Washington, I am
00:27:36Juan Carlos López. Join me on Direct USA Monday
00:27:40through Friday on
00:27:41CNN.
00:27:48Yes, yes, it's clear, and it's good that you're back. You said
00:27:52it at the beginning of the program, that is, well, assuming
00:27:54that this transition occurs, because there
00:27:58are a series of questions that you have explained very well, that is to say
00:28:02that. That is, at the outset, to say, well, maybe this is not
00:28:05as immediate as we think. Second, the point of
00:28:09transparency, of maintaining transparency, which, well,
00:28:12Bernaque has tremendously been a
00:28:15positive asset and a great asset to the institution. And then,
00:28:19fundamentally, the structure of
00:28:22a strong Fed
00:28:26with that complexity that it currently
00:28:30has regionally is a... it's a
00:28:33strength.
00:28:42I am Mexican-British. I have been
00:28:46practicing journalism in Mexico City,
00:28:48in the United States, and now in
00:28:52Miami for CNN. CNN América is a
00:28:55multi-platform program where you will have
00:28:58information from all fields that will allow you to understand the world
00:29:02from the angle you are viewing it from. In those
00:29:06three hours, you will not only have information from a political
00:29:09and economic perspective, but also health,
00:29:12from a women's perspective, but above all, it is a space where
00:29:16we can have conversations, not to polarize, but
00:29:20to integrate society.
00:29:23most is to inform,
00:29:26to inquire, to investigate the why of things, to get to the bottom of the
00:29:30facts. Here you will see what makes news and everything that
00:29:34impacts your daily life. CNN América with Rebeca
00:29:37Kelly, Monday through Friday on
00:29:39CNN.
00:29:44We only have time left for the farewell. Thank you for joining
00:29:47us. I am Iván Perment in Buenos Aires. This was Conclusiones, Fernando Rincón's
00:29:51program. Have a very good night and until
00:29:53next time.
00:30:04My name is Pau Mosquera and I am a CNN correspondent. Of
00:30:07all the work I have done, the one that has perhaps
00:30:11impacted me most personally has been the coverage of the war in
00:30:14Ukraine. To see and narrate the stories of some of these
00:30:18thousands of refugees has undoubtedly been very difficult,
00:30:22but also necessary, since recounting their
00:30:25stories has served to highlight the
00:30:28dramatic nature of this war.
