Mexican Senator Lilly Tellez has raised alarming concerns about the potential infiltration of drug cartels within the Mexican government, warning that the issue is a serious threat to national stability. During an appearance on the U.S. television program ‘Fox & Friends Weekend,’ she emphasized the gravity of the situation and called for urgent international cooperation. Tellez’s comments come amid ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking in Mexico, where cartel activity has long been a significant challenge for authorities.
She also addressed the potential role of President Donald Trump’s administration in addressing the crisis, suggesting that strong U.S.-Mexico collaboration could be key to dismantling the networks responsible for the drug trade. However, Tellez expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of current policies and urged for more decisive action. Her remarks reflect growing concerns within the political sphere about the impact of organized crime on governance and public safety.
