Crime against politicians skyrockets before the start of the campaign in Mexico. At least 33 people from the world of politics, some aspiring to office, have been murdered in the first two months of the year.

In January alone, according to the organization Data Cívica, 35 attacks or threats against current or former officials were recorded. In 21 cases, the victims lost their lives. The role that organized crime plays in violence is a constant factor. Sometimes he is the one who pulls the trigger, sometimes he is simply involved in the dispute over local powers.
