Axios Latino looks at the "tense calm" in Ecuador's battle against violence. Authorities have arrested more than 10,000 people and seized record amounts of cocaine since launching an offensive against criminal groups in January.

Experts worry that such anti-violence measures are not sustainable in the long term. Andrés Manuel López Obrador's actions are worrying before the elections in Mexico, according to complaints specialists to Axios Latino. The Mexican president defended that he has a "political right" to expose personal information of those who work in the media.
