A violent narco blockade orchestrated by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel unfolded in Michoacan, Mexico, where a delivery truck fire signaled a coordinated attack. Initially thought to be a mere electrical malfunction, it became clear that cartel actions aimed to instill fear, with reports of burning vehicles across 30 municipalities. Communities turned to WhatsApp for safety updates as the cartel's influence spread beyond Apatzingan. This blockade exemplified a breakdown of law and order, prompting residents to seek preventive measures amid rampant violence and uncertainty.
The violence started in Apatzingan, but spread beyond the Mexican city. The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) aimed to demonstrate its power through fire, setting ablaze highways across more than 30 municipalities in three states.
Voice notes circulating on WhatsApp warn of the chaos: 'Get away folks, everyone who's heading out to the road right now, they're burning cars.' This reflects the panic and lack of authority.
