In Mexico, the influence of cartels on elections, particularly at the local level, is deeply entrenched and multifaceted. Here's a more detailed look at how violence and threats of violence by cartels impact the electoral process:Intimidation and Coercion: Cartels use various tactics to intimidate both candidates and voters. Candidates who refuse to cooperate with cartels may face threats to their lives or the lives of their loved ones. This coercion often leads candidates to either withdraw from the race or align themselves with cartel interests to ensure their safety. Similarly, voters may be intimidated into supporting cartel-backed candidates out of fear of reprisal.Assassinations and Violence: Cartels resort to violence, including targeted assassinations, to eliminate political opponents or individuals who pose a threat to their interests. These killings serve as a warning to others who may challenge cartel power, effectively silencing dissent and consolidating control over local politics.Corruption and Collusion: Cartels often infiltrate local governments through bribery and corruption, ensuring that elected officials are beholden to their interests. Politicians may accept cartel money to fund their campaigns or provide protection in exchange for political favors. This collusion between cartels and politicians perpetuates a culture of corruption and impunity, allowing criminal organizations to operate with relative impunity.Control of Territory: Cartels maintain control over certain territories through a combination of violence and coercion. In these areas, they effectively function as de facto authorities, exerting influence over all aspects of life, including elections. Candidates seeking to contest elections in cartel-controlled territories must often seek approval from cartel leaders, further entrenching cartel influence in the electoral process.Fear and Apathy: The pervasive presence of violence and intimidation by cartels creates a climate of fear among the populace, leading to apathy and disillusionment with the electoral process. Many citizens feel powerless to effect change and may choose not to participate in elections out of fear for their safety. This apathy further strengthens cartel control over local politics, as voter turnout diminishes and cartel-backed candidates face less opposition.(commercial at 10:52)to contact me:[email protected]:How do Mexican cartels use electoral violence?
