More than 100 Politicians Killed Ahead of Mexico Elections

墨西哥选举前100多名政治家被杀

At least 130 politicians were murdered in the lead-up to Mexico’s federal election last Sunday, making 2017-18 the most violent election season in Mexico’s modern history. Crime against politicians in Mexico is directly related to drug cartels. In addition to murder, Mexican politicians are often victims of kidnapping and extortion. Mexican politicians who condemn the cartels are at a high risk as are those who collude with them. Two politicians were murdered on election day as left-wing López Obrador won the presidency in a landslide victory. In 2017, nearly 30, 000 people were murdered in Mexico, the nation’s highest homicide rate in two decades.
