The article discusses the weak and confused stance of opposition parties in Mexico following the significant operation that resulted in the elimination of notorious criminal leader Nemesio Oseguera. It points out how, contrary to the historical call for united fronts against crime, current opposition leaders, particularly from PAN, PRI, and MC, are hesitant to support the government’s actions, focusing instead on self-serving criticisms. Jorge Romero from PAN acknowledges the government's efforts but is noted for being ambiguous in offering support, suggesting a disconnection from the actual needs of the families affected by violence.

It further explores the historical context of the term 'closure of ranks' which once signified a united front against crime but appears to have faded from the political discourse. The article indicates that the partisan divide hinders effective approaches to combatting organized crime, reflecting a broader trend of political amnesia where crucial moments of cooperation are forgotten. The reactions from the opposition parties are portrayed as not only inadequate but opportunistic, revealing a reluctance to unify against the menace of organized crime that affects everyday Mexican citizens.

In conclusion, the article emphasizes the need for a genuine commitment from Mexican political parties to confront organized crime effectively. By analyzing the rhetoric and actions of opposition leaders, the piece calls for renewed focus and coherence in strategy against violence, while also critiquing the pettiness with which some leaders approach serious national issues. The author's perspective underscores the urgency for unity in the face of ongoing violence and the necessity for a constructive response that prioritizes the well-being of families in Mexico rather than stoking partisan conflicts.
