Andrés Manuel López Obrador said: «It is very striking that these unfortunate events take place and all the media in the United States handle the information in a tabloid manner… not so when Mexicans are murdered in the United States… they are silent like mummies.»

He clarified that he is also angry about what happened: «Of course we regret what is happening in the country and this incident in particular and we offer our sincere condolences. But I can tell you that we dealt with a matter of two Oaxacan day laborers killed, and one wounded, by farmers and nothing came out in the US press… nothing, it was near San Francisco…”

AMLO said that the US doesn’t treat tragedies that happen to Mexicans the same and gave an example: «Some day laborers were murdered… this recently, a month ago… That is, they ripped their clothes… Yesterday I was watching all the radio and television channels and here (in Mexico) the same thing…”

The Mexican President’s disapproval was clear: «Taking advantage of the pain of the people, like vultures and of course we are not allowing any foreign country to intervene on matters that only involve toMexicans… We do not get involved in what the gangs that distribute fentanyl do or how the drug is distributed in the US.”

More details will be released about the kidnapped Americans

And he was emphatic about the important issues in the US: “Are there no networks? No posters? Who sells the drug? That is a matter that the US authorities have to resolve… so there is cooperation, we are working with respect for sovereignty.”

On Tuesday morning, four Americans were kidnapped in Matamoros, Tamaulipas. Apparently, the drug cartel thought they were Haitians and they shot at their vehicle before kidnapping them.
