Sekuphele izinyanga ekhuluma ngaleli cala, elifanisa nomdlalo wethelevishini wobugebengu ethi ukuvezwa kwawo kukhombisa inkohlakalo ejulile yalabo ababengaphambi kwakhe.
Kodwa uMongameli waseMexico U-Andrés Manuel López Obrador uthi ngeke abikezele umphumela wecala lase-US elibhekene nalowo owayeyisikhulu esiphezulu sezokuphepha kuleli.
“Yini engiyilindele kubahluleli? Sizolinda, ”kusho uLópez Obrador etshela izintatheli ngoLwesine. “Angifuni ukubikezela. Kodwa ngeke ngikuvumele lokhu. Ngeke sithule.”
NgoLwesihlanu, umongameli waseMexico ucele iWashington ukuthi iphenye iqhaza leziphathimandla zezomthetho zaseMelika nezinye izikhulu zaseMelika ezisebenzisana kakhulu nesikhulu sezokuphepha saseMexico.
Ngemuva kokuqulwa kwecala elithathe amasonto amane, amajaji eNkantolo Yesifunda yase-US eNew York aqhubekile nokudingida ngoLwesihlanu mayelana nekusasa UGenaro García Luna ngaphambi kokuya ekhaya ngaphandle kokufinyelela isinqumo. Izingxoxo kulindeleke ukuthi ziqhubeke ngoLwesibili.
Ngenkathi esebenza njengesikhulu esiphezulu sezomthetho eMexico, uGarcía Luna usolwa ngokuthatha izigidi zamarandi efumbathiswa enkampanini yaseSinaloa eyayiphethwe nguJoaquín “El Chapo” UGuzmán, manje oseboshwe udilikajele e-United States ngemva kokuquliswa icala lakhe eminyakeni emithathu edlule kuyo le nkantolo yaseBrooklyn.
UGarcía Luna wayengunobhala wezokuphepha ekuphathweni kukaMongameli Felipe Calderón, owasebenza kusukela ngo-2006 kuya ku-2012 futhi wakhulula impi echitha igazi ngokumelene nabashushumbisi bezidakamizwa. Umkhankaso wokulwa nezidakamizwa, owawuvame ukuvela kuGarcía Luna emphakathini, washiya amashumi ezinkulungwane efile kodwa wehluleka ukulawula izinkampani noma ukunciphisa ukushushumbiswa kwezidakamizwa emingceleni.
Umshushisi waseNew York udonse isasasa elikhulu eMexico, lapho ukudalulwa kwawo okuvusa amadlingozi ngezinye izikhathi mayelana nokuxhumana phakathi kwezinkampani ezithengisa izidakamizwa nezikhulu kuye kwavela kakhulu ezindabeni nasezinkundleni zokuxhumana. Izitolo zaseMexico zithumele izintatheli eNew York ukuyobika ngokuqhubekayo.
Enkantolo, izikhulu zangaphambili ze-cartel ezineziteketiso ezinjengokuthi “Inkosi,” “Unogwaja,” “Devil” nelithi “The Big One” bathathe isinyathelo sokukhomba uGarcía Luna njengesikhohlakali esihahayo esaqoqa ingcebo ngokheshi. amaphoyisa nezinye izikhulu ewashini lakhe bavumela ukuthunyelwa kwe-cocaine okukhulu ukudabula eMexico kuya e-United States.
Ummeli wezokuvikela uveze ofakazi abasola uGarcía Luna njengeqoqo “lababulali, abathumbi nezigebengu” ezakha izinsolo ngomzamo wokuthola izigwebo ezithambile kubashushisi baseMelika.
Kwabaningi baseMexico, leli cala liqinisekise izinsolo zabo ezimbi kakhulu mayelana nokusebenzisana phakathi kwezikhulu zikahulumeni namaqembu ezigebengu aqhuba insangu, enza inzuzo ngohwebo olukhulu olungemthetho oluya e-United States, kanye namanye amarakhethi. Futhi, ezweni lapho ukuqulwa kwamacala obugebengu ikakhulukazi kuyizindaba eziyimfihlo ezisekelwe ezimemezelweni ezibhaliwe, ubufakazi obuqhumayo obuvela enkantolo yase-US ngezinye izikhathi bubonakale budabisa.
“Ematheni ofakazi bezokushushiswa singakwazi … ukuphikisa ngokuthi uGarcía Luna empeleni uwuphawu lwalokho okufanele inkantolo ikubone: IMexico iyizwe elinonya elibolile,” kubhala umlobeli uRaymundo Riva Palacio kuleli sonto e-El. Iphephandaba le-Financiero. “Akudingeki ukuthi umuntu azi ngesinqumo sikaGarcía Luna ukuze acabange ukuthi, emehlweni abantu abaningi baseMelika – nabanye abaningi emhlabeni jikelele – siyisizwe esingenwe futhi esilawulwa yizigebengu.”
UGarcía Luna, 54, owabambisana kakhulu nezikhulu zaseMelika ngesikhathi enza umsebenzi wokuqinisa umthetho, uwaphikile amacala okushushumbisa i-cocaine namanye futhi abameli bakhe bamveza bethi ubeyisisebenzi sikahulumeni esiyisibonelo. Angase abhadle amashumi eminyaka ejele uma elahlwa yicala. Akazange afakaze ngesikhathi kuqulwa icala lakhe.
Waboshwa ngo-2019 eTexas ngemuva kokuthuthela e-United States kulandela isikhundla sakhe njengomphathi wezokuphepha eMexico onikezwe umsebenzi wokulwa namaqembu.
Ngisho nomongameli waseMexico ubonakale ebambe ongezansi ngezinga lokubambisana elidalulwe ngesikhathi sobufakazi phakathi kwesifunda saseMexico kanye nezinkampani ezithengisa izidakamizwa ezibiza izigidigidi zamadola.
“Cabanga nje, kungani umuntu ezobuka lolu chungechunge lweNetflix uma iqiniso lidlula lona?” ULópez Obrador uthe kule nyanga.
Izingqungquthela zakhe zezindaba zasekuseni zifake nokubuyekezwa njalo kwecala, okuhlanganisa nevidiyo eshaya emhloleni ngoLwesine efingqa imicimbi kuze kube manje.
IMexico iphinde yacindezela uGarcía Luna ezinkantolo zaseFlorida ngomzamo wokubuyisela amakhulu ezigidi zamaRandi okusolakala ukuthi akhwabaniswe yilesi sikhulu.
Kumongameli waseMexico, icala likaGarcía Luna limele okungaphezu kokubalwa kwesinye isikhulu esikhohlakele saseMexico. U-López Obrador uphawule leli cala njengophawu lokuwohloka kokuziphatha kwabandulelayo, ikakhulukazi isitha sakhe sezombusazwe esinengwa isikhathi eside, uCalderón.
ULópez Obrador ubize uGarcía Luna “ngengalo yangakwesokudla” yaseCalderón, ebuza ukuthi kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi lowo owayengumongameli ubengazi ngokuziphatha kwephoyisa lakhe eliphezulu okusolwa ukuthi lilobugebengu. UCalderón uphikile noma yiluphi ulwazi ngesenzo esingalungile sikaGarcía Luna, nakuba evumile ukuzwa “amahlebezi” okuthi uGarcía Luna uhlobene nabashushumbisi bezidakamizwa.
ULópez Obrador usole uCalderón ngokweba ukhetho lukamongameli lwango-2006, lapho u-López Obrador aphuma isibili emjahweni osondelene. ULópez Obrador wakhethwa njengomongameli ngo-2018 – umzamo wakhe wesithathu ehhovisi eliphezulu – endaweni yokulwa nenkohlakalo.
Umengameli uhlezi egomela ngokuthi ubuholi bakhe buqede kakhulu ukuhlukunyezwa kwesikhungo osekunesikhathi kuhlupha iMexico.
Kuye, inkohlakalo evezwa enkantolo yaseNew York iyisikhumbuzo senkathi emnyama, into eqhelelene neqiniso langaleso sikhathi lokuphatha kwakhe – inkolelo abaningi eMexico abaye bayibuza.
“Kubalulekile ukwazi ukuthi kuhulumeni wethu azikho izikhulu ezinjengoGarcía Luna,” kusho umongameli ngoNovemba. “Iziphathimandla azihlangene, zifihla futhi zihlukumeza futhi zibulale abantu.”
Abagxeki bathi buncane ubufakazi bokuthi inkohlakalo yehlile ngaphansi kobuholi bukaLópez Obrador. Umongameli, nokho, uliqinise kakhulu iphothifoliyo yezokuphepha nezomnotho yamasosha aseMexico – i-bloc enamandla evame ukusolwa ngokuhlukumeza amalungelo abantu.
Ngo-2020, u-López Obrador waphikisana ne-White House ngemuva kokuthi iziphathimandla zaseMelika zibophe owayengunobhala wezokuvikela waseMexico, u-Gen. Salvador Cienfuegos, esikhumulweni sezindiza sase-Los Angeles. Uboshelwe amacala enkohlakalo afana nalawo abhekene noGarcía Luna.
Ukuboshwa kukajenene osewathatha umhlalaphansi kuthukuthelise kakhulu amasosha aseMexico, asondelene noLópez Obrador. Umongameli waseMexico uzichithile izinsolo zokushushumbiswa kwezidakamizwa zase-US ezibhekiswe eCienfuegos ngokuthi “ziwudoti.” Abaphathi bakaTrump bagcine behoxile, bawasula amacala babuyisela iCienfuegos eMexico.
Intatheli ekhethekile uCecilia Sánchez Vidal ufake isandla kulo mbiko.
