El País: the cartel installed Rocha, narcopolitics under the spotlight
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
El País in English publishes a trilogy on the Sinaloa affair. The first documents the US charges and the accusation that the cartel 'helped install Rocha.' The second covers Sheinbaum's response — 'Mexico demands irrefutable evidence.' The third is the most ambitious: an analysis that 'the US puts a spotlight back on narcopolitics in Mexico.' El País explains that narcopolitics — criminal organization infiltrating legitimate political structures — is structural in Mexico since the 1980s, not a new Rocha-specific phenomenon. Spain's historical relationship with Mexico and Latin America nourishes a more contextual coverage than the American perspective.
