• OUTCRY: Leaders of Mexico’s crime victims movement decried President Andrés Manuel López Obrador for briefly greeting the mother of the country’s most notorios drug lord, Joaquín Guzmán Loera aka El Chapo, during a work trip to the northwestern state of Sinaloa.
• DEMENTIAL: Having lost a son to criminal violence in 2011, poet Javier Sicilia chastised the Mexican President saying that greeting the mother of the top leader in the Sinaloa Cartel was a “demented” behavior; other victims families agreed on condemning López Obrador.
• RIDICULOUS: “It’s because of (El Chapo) that there are many mothers who were left on their own. What happened to the mothers that he has left without children? It’s ridiculous”, said Adrián LeBarón, who in November last year lost his daughter when 6 children and 3 women were killed in Northern Mexico.
• RESPECTABLE: On Monday, López Obrador published a letter sent by El Chapo’s mother -María Consuelo Loera- where she explains she would like to see her son. The leader of the Sinaloa Cartel faces a life sentence in the US and is housed at the Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado.
