The article analyzes a press statement from Mexico's Attorney General's Office (FGR), issued on March 16, which suggests an undeclared state of emergency in the country. This statement comes 22 days after the killing of Nemesio Osceguera, known as "El Mencho", the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). The delay in the FGR's communication raises questions about the effectiveness and coordination among the institutions responsible for justice and national security in Mexico.

In the statement, the FGR attempted to provide clarity on the events surrounding the operation that led to El Mencho's death, but its 22-day silence highlights a troubling absence from a crucial institution in maintaining the rule of law. The article argues that in a country where the rule of law is upheld, the Attorney General should have promptly organized a press conference to address public concerns regarding a significant incident in national security. The implications of such delays can undermine public trust in the authorities' ability to manage security crises effectively.

As Mexico grapples with ongoing issues related to organized crime and violence, the incident reflects deeper systemic problems within the country's justice and security apparatus. The lack of coordinated action and communication among agencies tasked with ensuring public safety suggests that the situation could potentially deteriorate further, jeopardizing the safety of citizens and the integrity of governmental institutions.
