Article about cartels in San Miguel

[doncoulter]

Here is an article from Mexico News Daily in support of the first Bloomberg article cited above. If you read Spanish, there is a link at the bottom of the article to a similar but more detailed piece in El Universal.

As for the mayor's response, mentioned in the second post above, I don't trust anything he says about crime in San Miguel. He always plays down the crime problem there. Note that the Mexico News Daily and El Universal articles both say the official count of murders stands at 76 so far this year. Meanwhile, the Facebook page "More Security in San Miguel de Allende," which keeps its own count, says the year-to-date total is 109. Even if we accept the lower figure, how would y'all feel if Guanajuato, which is roughly the same size as SMA, had 76 murders this year?
