Pablo Lemus ordered to ban all concerts that glorify crime

The governor of Jalisco seeks to sanction concerts and corridos that glorify criminal life in entertainment

The governor of Jalisco, Pablo Lemus,  ordered a ban on any presentation related to the state administration that glorifies crime. This measure is implemented following the recent concert by Los Alegres del Barranco. During the concert, images of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias "El Mencho", leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), and Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, were shown.
