In light of the recent death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as 'El Mencho,' leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), the Argentine foreign ministry has urged citizens to reconsider any travel plans to the region. The ministry highlighted the dangerous security situation prevailing in Jalisco, a state known for violence linked to drug trafficking and organized crime. Following the events surrounding El Mencho's death, significant disturbances have been reported in various areas throughout Mexico, particularly in Jalisco itself.

The recommendation specifically advises Argentine nationals to 'carefully evaluate the need for travel' to Jalisco. For those already present in the state, the foreign ministry has emphasized the importance of taking extra precautions, such as avoiding areas with reported security incidents and remaining vigilant about their surroundings. The ministry's alert underscores the rising concerns for safety among expatriates and travelers in regions heavily affected by drug-related violence.

As tensions in Jalisco flare following El Mencho's demise, both local and international observers will be monitoring how these developments affect security conditions and travel safety in the region over the coming weeks. The CJNG has been recognized as one of Mexico's most formidable and violent drug cartels, and its fluctuations in power dynamics can lead to increased risks of violence and instability, not just for locals but also for foreign visitors until stability is restored.
