Isn't it true that drugs weren't manufactured in Mexico?: They found a narco-lab in EdoMex

Authorities discovered a synthetic drug lab hidden among agave leaves in the State of Mexico

In an operation carried out in this municipality, elements of the Attorney General's Office found a clandestine synthetic drug laboratory, dismantling a network that operated in secrecy.

The criminals hid the chemical precursors among the maguey leaves, trusting that the vegetation would help camouflage the illicit production.

The authorities confiscated drums with 200 liters of chemical substances used to manufacture methamphetamines. This finding confirms the production of synthetic drugs in Mexico, despite the government's constant attempts to deny it.

The government denied the manufacture of synthetic drugs in Mexico

For months, the government has downplayed the production of synthetic drugs in Mexico. They insist on denying its existence and blaming other nations.

The evidence is overwhelming. It contradicts the official discourse that insists Mexico doesn't manufacture fentanyl or other illicit substances, but is only a transit country.

The cartels have set up clandestine laboratories throughout the country. From there they produce and export tons of methamphetamines and other synthetic drugs.

The State of Mexico, new epicenter of drug trafficking

The discovery of this laboratory in Ixtlahuaca confirms that the State of Mexico has become a key point for drug trafficking. Far from being limited to the country's borders, criminal groups have found a safe haven for their operations in this entity.

Organized crime operates without restrictions, even using rural areas to hide their production, taking advantage of the lack of surveillance and the inaction of the authorities.

The drug traffickers have developed sophisticated methods to hide their activity, adapting to the environment and evading the presence of security forces.

This discovery is just the tip of the iceberg, as multiple reports indicate the existence of more laboratories in the region.

The government remains without answers to the drug trafficking crisis

Organized crime strengthens and expands its production of synthetic drugs. Meanwhile, the government continues with its evasive rhetoric, denying reality and leaving the country at the mercy of the cartels.

Official statements continue to focus on political speeches, while Mexico sinks into drug trafficking.

The discovery in the State of Mexico confirms that security strategies have failed, allowing the cartels to continue operating with total impunity.

The question that remains is: how many more laboratories exist in Mexico without the authorities doing anything about it?
