'HUGS, NOT BULLETS': Mexico's New President Reveals Plan To Stop Drug Cartels
Daily Caller, Jul 7, 2018, Ryan Saavedra

On Friday, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, Mexico's newly-elected president, revealed his new plan to combat Mexico's drug war which includes legalizing drugs, instituting gun control, and reducing punishment for criminals.

Olga Sanchez, Lopez Obrador’s proposed interior minister, told Reuters about the new administration's "transitional justice" plan to stop Mexico's deadly drug cartels which will involve "leniency for those who admit guilt, truth commissions to investigate atrocities and the granting of reparations for some victims."

"Not only will it be amnesty, it will be a law to reduce jail time," Sanchez told Reuters. "We will propose decriminalization, create truth commissions, we will attack the causes of poverty, we will give scholarships to the youth and we will work in the field to get them out of the drug situation."

"Abrazos, no balazos" — or "hugs, not bullets" — was a campaign slogan championed by Lopez Obrador during his presidential run.

Reuters notes that Alfonso Durazo, Lopez Obrador’s proposed security minister, has said that the administration is going to remove a "significant part" of Mexico's military from the streets and that they will implement more stringent protocols to stop guns from entering the country.

Maybe the ultimate plan is to have the cartels laugh themselves to death.

Possibly modeled after South Africa's "Truth and Reconciliation Commission. A mechanism of "Restorative Justice."


Whites are to this day, fleeing SA. SA has horrific crime statistics.

These well meaning efforts appear to be like trying to make chicken salad, out of chicken shite.

And now both SA and Mexico are Marxist without reservation.
