Så tjänar Mexikos karteller på din avokadotoast

Medan de mexikanska myndigheterna – påhejade av USA – siktar in sig på att bekämpa narkotikan så hittar Mexikos karteller andra inkomstkällor. Religiösa pilgrimer pressas på pengar för att få delta i de traditionella påskparaderna och avokadobönder tvingas betala ”skatt” på sina odlingar, noga uppmätta av kartellmedlemmarna. The Economist kartlägger kartellernas expanderande ekonomi som sakta men säkert omvandlar Mexiko till en maffiastat. They are expanding into every corner of society By The Economist Datum i formatet: 11th May, 2023 On may 3rd Mexico introduced a law applying strict controls on the import of chemicals used by Mexico’s gangs to make synthetic drugs. The law is backed by harsh criminal penalties. This is a striking move by Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Mexico’s populist president, who has shied away from tackling the country’s gangs, preferring to blame drugs and disorder on family breakdown over the border and poverty at home. In truth, under his tenure gangs are increasingly powerful and diversified. Mexico’s cartels have always been adaptable. In the 1980s they trafficked marijuana and then cocaine from Colombia to the United States. But in the past decade they have mutated into a much wider array of groups, with their tentacles reaching beyond the drugs trade into extortion, people-smuggling, arms-selling and illegal mining. “We look at organised crime trends through a drug-cartel lens, when today in Mexico we have a mafia-like criminal landscape,” says Romain Le Cour Grandmaison of the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organised Crime, an NGO based in Switzerland. However, the government response continues to be shaped by a focus on narcotics, not least because of the United States and its war on drugs. The pressure has increased with the recent crisis surrounding fentanyl. The head of the us Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) last month described the Sinaloa cartel and the Jalisco New Generation cartel (CJNG), Mexico’s two biggest groups, as the “greatest drug threat our nation has ever faced”. Drugs continue to make up a large part of the business, especially for the two main gangs. Production of cocaine, cultivated in South America and trafficked through Mexico, has more than doubled since 2014, says the UN’s Office on Drugs and Crime, while the price has not dropped. The pivot to synthetics such as methamphetamine, which is sold locally, and fentanyl, which is sent north, has made business more lucrative. The indictments in the United States in April of the “Chapitos”, the four sons of Joaquín Guzmán, known as “El Chapo”, the head of the Sinaloa cartel who is now in prison in Colorado, have shed light on the changing shape of the trade. The DEA estimates that a pill that costs ten cents to make in Mexico can be sold to a wholesaler for 50 cents. Unlike marijuana or cocaine, no land is needed for synthetics: the chemicals are imported through Mexican airports or ports from China. Gangs drop them off to labs, sometimes family kitchens in northern states, before pressing them into pills to take north. Perhaps 40% of the Sinaloa cartel’s income comes from drugs, estimates one official, half of which come from synthetics. Gangs have diversified for several reasons. First, “El Narco”, as Mexicans call them, is simply “a monster that eats everything it can,” says Ioan Grillo, an author. But official policy has exacerbated the problem. The war on drugs, begun in 2006 by the then president Felipe Calderón, caused groups to splinter and multiply. By 2020 the number of gangs had increased to more than 200, from 76 in 2010, according to the International Crisis Group (ICG), a think-tank based in Brussels. Not all have the ability or connections to traffic or make drugs: the DEA recognises only nine major drug-trafficking organisations in Mexico. Second, the security policies of Mr López Obrador, who is often known as Amlo, have given gangs room to expand. His approach to security is known as “abrazos no balazos” (“hugs not bullets”), a policy that seeks to tackle root causes, but does little to confront existing gangs. This has let the groups deepen their expansion, which started a decade ago, into the legal economy, says Vanda Felbab-Brown of the Brookings Institution, an American think-tank. The biggest source of income after drugs is “without a doubt” extortion, says Eduardo Guerrero of Lantia Intelligence, a consultancy. Groups extort money from everyone, whether taco-stand owners or pilgrims, some of whom, over Easter, were forced to pay to take part in processions. In 2022 almost double the number of Mexicans reported having money extorted than did five years before (see chart below). Only a tiny minority report. The big money comes, however, from “taxing” businesses in sectors such as agriculture and mining. Avocados, Mexico’s “green gold”, are a good example. The country provides almost a third of global supply, most of which is grown in the western state of Michoacán. The $3bn-worth of them exported every year to the United States is a huge source of income for the producers and also for gangs. For the past three years Erick Rodríguez, a farmer, has paid an annual “fee” of 10,000 pesos ($560) per hectare to Familia Michoacana, a local criminal group. Mr Rodríguez (not his real name) says the gang comes with data about the size of his farm and tells him to hold back stock to push up prices. Ms Felbab-Brown’s fieldwork in Mexico shows how gangs also force fishermen to sell their catch at a cut price, which they then sell for a profit to restaurants. They also dictate the terms of when and what they can fish. Smuggling people is another area of expansion. Criminal groups used to leave this to small-time smugglers known as coyotes. As the border has tightened and the number trying to cross has risen, so has the cost, making it even more attractive to the gangs. The us border police apprehended migrants trying to cross illegally 2.2m times last year, a six-fold increase on a decade earlier. The cost to transit Mexico and cross into the United States can now be as high as $12,500 per person, according to a study supported by BBVA, a Spanish bank. Gangs also kidnap migrants to extort money from their richer relatives north of the border. Mexico’s immigration agency freed over 2,000 kidnapped migrants last year. Many more are never found. Meanwhile, a growing percentage of the 25 people who disappear every day in Mexico are 12- to 15-year-old girls, many of whom are likely to be trafficked into prostitution. And, though guns are tightly regulated in Mexico, gangs smuggle them in from the United States. Trafficking natural resources is lucrative, too, says the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organised Crime. In 2014 Mexico’s government acknowledged for the first time that gangs illegally mine and export iron ore from Michoacán. A report by Insight Crime, an investigative outfit, last year found the activity is thriving now under the cjng. In the state of Jalisco gangs control the timber market. Demand for Mexican animals, though a niche business, is growing, too. Most are believed to be sent to China, sometimes in exchange for chemicals for drugs. Oil is also a target industry. Gangs siphon it off, sometimes cutting deals with corrupt officials at Pemex, the state oil company. They steal and sell water in the states of Mexico and Nuevo León. One result of this expansion is a rise in violence. Drug trafficking requires little more than someone corruptible at a border, but today’s activities are only possible where groups control territory, causing violent clashes across the country. They are particularly fierce in Michoacán, where at least 35 groups compete for resources, now using military-grade weapons bought with income from the drugs trade. Homicide figures are alarming, but a poor measurement of the impact. Murders fell by 7% from 2021 to 2022, to a still shocking total of almost 31,000 (see chart above). But disappearances, most of which are murders with no body, have risen. “Unlike in the past when gangs were only involved in the illegal economy, today every citizen and business is exposed to being controlled by them,” says Ms Felbab-Brown. Amlo has made things worse. After the United States arrested Salvador Cienfuegos, a former head of Mexico’s armed forces, the president in 2021 enacted a national-security law to curtail the DEA’s ability to operate in Mexico. Relations have subsequently improved, and the government has been carrying out more strikes against gang operatives, as well as co-operating on financial investigations. Yet taking out kingpins, a policy popular under Mr Calderón, has had little effect. The president has spread out the National Guard, a federal police force he created in 2019, to reassert the state’s presence. But in many places he has ordered them to stay in the barracks. His tenure has been marked by a general passivity towards security and corruption, notes Mr Guerrero. This has led to a second consequence: deeper corruption within the state, which allows gangs to diversify further. Officials have always struck deals with organised crime. But under the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which ruled Mexico for 71 years until 2000, the government called the shots. Democratisation and the decentralisation of power have tilted the balance of power in favour of the criminals. The recent conviction in the United States of Genaro García Luna, Mexico’s security minister under Mr Calderón, for taking bribes from the Sinaloa cartel to facilitate drug-trafficking, was a rare proven case involving a federal official. Criminal groups are deeply entwined with local police, mayors and politicians, who can be threatened or bought. This gives them access to more sources of revenue through public contracts to build roads and other infrastructure. More worryingly, rather than just threatening elected officials, gangs are gaining unprecedented influence over elections. Before midterm polls in 2021, nearly 40 candidates were killed. Gangs are having a greater impact on businesses and society, as well. Some firms see no option but to employ the groups to protect them, notes Teresa Martínez of Tec de Monterrey, a university. Extortion by gangs is one reason for Mexico’s sluggish economic growth. Small-business owners say they struggle to pay up or do not want to grow so big as to attract attention. For the most part the gangs show little interest in building ties with the communities they prey on. But some do engage. On Children’s Day, a festival at the start of May, the CJNG even handed out toys. “We are seeing the transformation not only from drug-trafficking organisations to multi-commodity ones, but now to actual local strongmen exercising political control,” says Falko Ernst of the ICG. Mexico’s gangs have sprawled to such an extent that Mr Grillo and others have started calling the situation “an insurgency”. Certainly their mutation makes everything harder to tackle. It requires a broad national response, including weeding out corruption, creating a functioning justice system and re-establishing the remit of the state (as well as tackling drug consumption in the United States). But with the damage being wrought by fentanyl, a shift from the narrow focus on drugs, north and south of the border, looks unlikely. © 2023 The Economist Newspaper Limited. All rights reserved.

Så kan en blå prick i Omaha avgöra hela valet

Så kan en blå prick i Omaha avgöra hela valet

Nebraska må vara Bruce Springsteens kanske mest hyllade album. Men i politiska sammanhang nämns det ganska sällan. Fram tills nu, när delstatens särpräglade valsystem, i teorin skulle kunna avgöra vem som blir USA:s nästa president. – Det blåa Omaha, det ser ut som en liten blå prick i ett rött hav, säger Jason Brown. ”Genialt” För Mr Brown och hans fru Ruth började allt i somras, i samband med att Kamala Harris officiellt utsågs till Demokraternas presidentkandidat. En eftermiddag försvann Jason ut i garaget, var borta en stund och kom sedan tillbaka för att visa Ruth sitt senaste alster: en stor blå prick på en vit skylt. – Och jag tyckte att det var genialt, säger Ruth Huebner-Brown. Sedan ställde de ut skylten på framsidan av huset. Ganska snabbt kom grannen över och ville ha en likadan. Sedan kom en granne till och en till. På bara två månader har familjen Brown målat tusentals blå prickar som nu syns överallt i Omaha. Allt handlar om Nebraskas sätt att fördela sina fem elektorsröster. Majoritet demokrater Tillsammans med Maine gör inte Nebraska som andra delstater och ger en kandidat samtliga elektorer, istället är de fördelade på flera distrikt. Den stora lejonparten av delstaten är glesbefolkad och starkt republikansk, med ett stort undantag – delstatens största stad Omaha, där en majoritet 2008 och 2020 röstade demokratiskt. Det här valet avgörs som bekant i sju vågmästarstater. I scenariot där Kamala Harris bara vinner Wisconsin, Michigan och Pennsylvania skulle Omahas blåa prick kunna bli helt avgörande för Harris väg till Vita Huset. Till Republikanernas stora förtret. Partiet har utan framgång försökt att ändra Nebraskas valsystem. – Det finns ingen anledning till att vi ska ha ett annat system än andra delstater, säger Theresa Thibodeau. ”Ska göra allt vi kan för att hålla blåa prickar borta” Hon driver den republikanska stödgruppen Red State Nebraska och har kontrat de blå prickarna med att göra egna skyltar där hela Nebraska lyser rött, som i republikanskt. Utan blå prick. – Nebraska är en röd delstat och vi ska göra allt vi kan för att hålla blåa prickar borta, säger hon. Under tiden fortsätter paret Brown att sprejmåla sina skyltar på garageuppfarten. Kanske torkar de snabbare av medvinden i opinionen. Just nu ser Omahas blåa prick från 2020 ut att bestå. Hur avgörande den blir i slutänden, återstår att se.

Kraftig ökning av svenska utsläpp

Kraftig ökning av svenska utsläpp

"Andra kvartalet 2024 har de högsta utsläppen för ett andra kvartal sedan 2021", säger Johanna Takman, analytiker på SCB:s miljöräkenskaper, i ett pressmeddelande. Jämfört med andra kvartalet i fjol var ökningen 5,6 procent. Detta trots att svensk BNP (den samlade produktionen av varor och tjänster) bara ökade med en procent under perioden. Därmed ökade utsläppen med 4,5 procent per andel produktion i svensk ekonomi. – Vi tar fram kvartalsvis statistik för växthusgasutsläpp i Sveriges ekonomi. Det gör vi genom att först titta på energistatistik som vi sen omvandlar till utsläpp. Det vi sett är att utsläppen ökat till följd av ökade leveranser av fossilt diesel. Spårar vi det vidare så kan vi se att de ökningar vi sett i energistatistiken ligger i linje med justeringen av reduktionsplikten som gjordes vid årsskiftet, säger Nils Brown analytiker vid Statistikmyndigheten SCB i Nyhetsmorgon. – Även första kvartalet såg vi en relativt stor ökning mot föregående kvartal. De utsläppen ligger på en högre nivå än föregående år, i alla fall mot de två, tre senaste åren, tillägger Nils Brown.  Byggindustrin största boven Hushållen, byggbranschen och transportsektorn står för de största utsläppsökningarna. Allra störst ökning var det inom byggindustrin, plus 28 procent, "framför allt på grund av ökad användning av fossil diesel", skriver SCB. "Utsläppsökningarna från byggverksamhet, hushåll och transportbranschen kan kopplas till ökade leveranser av fossil diesel vilket har visats av månatlig bränsle-, gas- och lagerstatistik", skriver SCB som noterar att reduktionsplikten för inblandning av biodrivmedel i framför allt diesel sänktes kraftigt, från 30,5 procent till 6 procent, vid årsskiftet 2023/2024.

Kremlanlitad skådespelare: "Jag blev förlamad av Kamala Harris"

Kremlanlitad skådespelare: "Jag blev förlamad av Kamala Harris"

Klippet har setts miljontals gånger och har i veckor spridits vidare över internet med hashtaggen #HitAndRunKamala. I vad som ser ut att vara ett seriöst nyhetsinslag från ”KBSF-TV San Francisco News” påstår en kvinna att hon som 13-åring blev förlamad efter att ha blivit påkörd av vicepresidenten Kamala Harris, i en smitningsolycka 2011. – När jag låg på sidan av gatan såg jag en kvinna. Jag visste inte då att det var Kamala Harris, då såg jag bara en rädd, främmande kvinna. Hon satt bakom sin ratt och tittade tillbaka på mig. Jag hörde min mamma skrika och sedan startade kvinnan sin bil och körde därifrån, berättar offret, som kallar sig för ”Alicia Brown”. Anlitad av Storm-1516 Brown hävdar vidare att det först på sjukhuset framgick att kvinnan var Kamala Harris och att hennes medarbetare hotade flickans mamma till tystnad. Forskare vid Microsoft konstaterar nu att klippet är desinformation – och att det är den ryska gruppen Storm-1516 som har producerat det. I samband med en ny studie skriver företaget att den Kremlkopplade trollfabriken har anlitat en skådespelare för att spela rollen som offer. Forskarna på Microsoft bedömer att videon är skapad för en amerikansk målgrupp och anser att den är ett tecken på att Ryssland har ökat sina ansträngningar för att påverka presidentvalet den 5 november. ”När vi närmar oss valet bör vi förvänta oss att ryska aktörer fortsätter att använda cyberproxy och hackergrupper för att förstärka sina budskap genom falska nyhetssajter och sociala kanaler inriktade på att sprida splittrande politiskt innehåll, iscensatta videor och AI-förstärkt propaganda”, skriver Microsoft. Därför sticker det ut Sebastian Bay, expert på desinformation och valsäkerhet, förklarar att det falska klippet sticker ut. Tidigare har han främst sett liknande produktion skapat för en inhemsk målgrupp i Ryssland, inte för mottagare i västvärlden. – Att de har stor förmåga kan man inte chockas av. De har gjort enskilda saker de senaste tio åren och om de vill så kan de, men det är ett risktagande att göra det för en internationell målgrupp, säger han. Bay tar exempelvis upp innehåll som producerades i samband med Rysslands annektering av Krim och hur man då använde skådespelare för att sprida ett falskt narrativ och påverka den inhemska debatten. ”En utmaning” Som vanlig sociala medier-användare kan det vara svårt att veta vad som är sant eller falskt. – Det är absolut en utmaning. Ibland är det svårt att motbevisa och det spelar ofta ingen roll om det blir motbevisat. Sprids något i ett stressat läge kan det vara katalysatorn som får bägaren att rinna över, säger Sebastian Bay. – Det visar behovet av fri och oberoende media och att mediehusen behöver resurserna för att kunna granska och analysera data, fortsätter han. Desinformationsexperten har inte sett liknande påverkansförsök i Sverige.
