Óscar Zamudio, the protected mayor who discovered insecurity when it affected him

The mayor of Concordia, Sinaloa,Óscar Zamudio Pérez, was the victim of an armed robbery on Wednesday morning. The mayor was heading to an official event in the city of Culiacán when a group of armed individuals intercepted his truck.

The incident occurred at kilometer 123 of the México 15 highway, near the Higueras de Baila village, south of the capital. The armed men forced him to get out of his white Nissan Frontier, along with his team, and fled with the vehicle without further resistance.

Hours later, state and federal authorities recovered the truck. It was found abandoned near Laguna de Canachi. State Police, Army, and National Guard mobilized after the report.

A fast-track justice that only applies to the elite

The contrast is stark. While dozens of citizens disappear on that same highway, no one escorts them. No one activates operations, no one returns anything.

The victims of thefts, robberies, and disappearances on México 15 are still waiting for a patrol to even file the report. But if you are an official, the entire State is at your feet.

The stolen truck didn't remain out of government control for even half a day. Public security worked like clockwork... but only because the affected person had immunity.

Two Mexicos, two justices

Citizens are blamed for "not being careful" or are asked to wait weeks for an appointment at the Public Ministry. Politicians are attended to with helicopters, escorts, and media coverage.

Where is the equality before the law? Where are those same operations when a mother is kidnapped or a transporter is murdered?

In the Mexico of the 4T, the message is clear: if you don't have a position, you don't have rights either. Because justice, in this country, is a privilege reserved for those who have escorts, not for those who are afraid.

In Mexico, losing everything doesn't guarantee that someone will sound an alarm. Families seek justice in empty halls, while officials travel escorted even to pick up their keys. There is no urgency for the people, only procedures.

Impunity is not a coincidence, it's a structure. Operations are activated if there are cameras, if there are surnames, if there is immunity. The common citizen, on the other hand, must beg for attention and bear the blame for being a victim.

The discourse of equality is repeated in forums, but it doesn't reach the streets. Public security has become a tool of power, not of justice. Because here the law is applied according to the position, not according to the crime.
