Can Mexico be defined as a narco-state? , the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador said during his morning conference that in previous governments there was a drug state in the country due to the links between drug trafficking and the authorities. "I honestly thought at that time that it was not correct to classify the Mexican state in that way, but then with all this that is coming to light, it is possible to speak of a narco-state because the government was taken over," he said. López Obrador said that the cases of García Luna, who is in prison in the United States, and that of former Pemex director Emilio Lozoya, who is facing charges for alleged bribery, demonstrate the great corruption that prevailed in the country and the agreements that he had with organized crime. Former Mexican Public Security Secretary Genaro García Luna pleaded not guilty in January to charges related to a drug trafficking conspiracy in which he allegedly accepted millions of dollars in bribes from drug cartel boss Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán. Emilio Lozoya also insisted on his innocence to the charges against him.
