Former President Felipe Calderón of Mexico has faced several serious allegations, primarily related to his administration's handling of the country's drug war and alleged connections to corruption. Here are the...
mostra di più- Drug War and Human Rights Violations: Calderón's administration (2006-2012) launched an aggressive military-led campaign against drug cartels, resulting in widespread violence. Critics accuse his government of human rights violations, including extrajudicial killings, torture, and enforced disappearances by security forces.
- Corruption and Links to Organized Crime: Allegations have emerged suggesting that Calderón's administration had connections to organized crime. Notably, Genaro García Luna, Calderón's Secretary of Public Security, was arrested in the United States in 2019 on charges of accepting bribes from the Sinaloa cartel in exchange for protection and assistance. This has fueled suspicions that Calderón either knew about or was complicit in these activities.
- Election Irregularities: Calderón's 2006 presidential election win was highly controversial, with allegations of electoral fraud and irregularities. His narrow victory over Andrés Manuel López Obrador led to widespread protests and claims that his administration lacked legitimacy.
- Public and Political Backlash: These allegations have significantly impacted Calderón's public image and political career. His party, the National Action Party (PAN), has faced internal divisions and criticism over its association with corruption and the failed drug war strategy.
