RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - In less than a week, Mexico has recorded two massacres in the northern states of Tamaulipas and Zacatecas due to increasingly violent disputes over territory between organized crime groups, coinciding with the change of officials following the mid-term elections on June 6.
Last Saturday, there were attacks in various neighborhoods of the city of Reynosa, Tamaulipas, between groups belonging to the Gulf Cartel, which left 19 people dead, 15 civilians and four were alleged criminals.
While between Thursday and Friday in the state of Zacatecas, there was a confrontation between members of the Jalisco Cartel. . .
