The recent decision by the United States government to classify Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations marks a turning point in the fight against fentanyl and other drugs. This new classification not only represents a direct economic threat to criminal structures and the control of fentanyl and other drug trafficking, but it could also justify the use of remote military tactics to neutralize these groups.

This change in U.S. foreign policy promises to have a significant and broad impact on Mexico's domestic policy.

A crucial aspect that requires thorough analysis is the alleged involvement of high-ranking Mexican officials in illicit activities, especially in the trafficking of chemicals for drug production, precursors for fentanyl, and hydrocarbon trafficking through national customs. According to investigations conducted by SEMAR and U.S. agencies, figures such as Adán Augusto López Hernández and key operators like Ricardo Peralta, Horacio Duarte, Álvaro Hernández, Juan Carlos Madero Larios, Alejandro Hernández Sierra, Héctor Antonio Ruiz Ángel and Alex Tonatiuh Márquez Hernández, as well as direct relatives of the head, Doctor Andre Georges Foullon Van Lissum, would be implicated in a corruption scandal at the National Customs Agency of Mexico (ANAM), all of them on U.S. intelligence lists.

The situation is further complicated by the involvement of various deputies and senators linked to López Hernández, also implicated in hydrocarbon trafficking. With the documentation of these activities by the U.S. Department of State and the Texas prosecutor's office, illicit operations could face increased scrutiny and international pressure.

In this context, the financing of Andy López Beltrán's campaign, son of former president AMLO, could be at risk. This scenario not only highlights the relationship between organized crime and politics but also hints at a potential internal war within the MORENA party, positioning Adán Augusto as an uncomfortable and formidable rival for President Claudia Sheinbaum.

These events underscore the depth of corruption within the Mexican government and the potentially significant impact on national politics due to international interventions. The President of Mexico, in response, has announced two constitutional reforms to reject any foreign intervention, reaffirming the country's sovereignty and classifying the shipment of weapons from abroad as a serious crime. However, these moves could be perceived as a mirage of sovereignty to mask the inability to control international decisions, maintaining an appearance of good cooperation, but underlying a palpable fear of the implications of these classifications.

Without decisive and transparent action by the Mexican government to address these accusations and restore the integrity of its institutions, Mexico could face much more devastating economic, political, and social consequences. The magnitude of the problem demands more than simple adjustments; it requires deep and sustained reform.

How will the senator for TamaulipasJosé Ramón Gómez Leal and his still assistant "El Cabo Sosa", inherited by the criminal leader Armando Montes, under the instructions of the godmother Doña Amadita Arredondo, handle the situation? The designation of the cartels as terrorists implicates figures who have collaborated or still do, such as the deputy Armando Zertuche and the mayor of Río Bravo, Miguel Ángel Almaraz (the first huachicolero), also included in this category, disguised as politicians but linked to Los Zetas and Los Golfos.
