President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) answered the question that Republican Congressman, And Crenshaw, launched after the rejection of the proposal that would allow the intervention of the United States Army (UNITED STATES) in Mexico to combat drug trafficking.

It was through your account Twitter that the Texas politician stressed that this problem must be solved by the Democratic and Republican sides, as well as by the Mexican government. This, after questioning the chief executive of the side he would support with the position expressed on March 6: “How would you feel if an American gang poisoned 70,000 Mexicans every year with fentanyl? (…) Who do you represent? To the cartels or to the people?

Thus, the Mexican chief executive corresponded with the North American and urged him to deal with the causes that cause the addiction to fentanyl – whose addiction has cost the life of more than 100 thousand people Last year.

“He should address the causes in the United States that cause excessive drug use, and in particular fentanyl which causes the death of many Americans,” he said from his traditional Morning after answering Crenshaw’s direct question. “Clair. It hurts me a lot when people lose their lives. I don’t want anyone to die, especially not from excessive drug use.”

“What is he doing? Has this senator exposed those who distribute fentanyl?

For this, Andrés Manuel referred the questions to Dan Crenshaw and asked him what his position was on the case. OxyContin and the opioid crisis in the United States – which cost the pharmaceutical company an avalanche of lawsuits Purdue Pharma—as well as the sale and trade of arms that Mexican criminal groups acquire on American soil.

“What did this senator do?” Did he say anything? Or what did he do to prevent the sale of high-powered weapons in gun shops and even in American supermarkets? Because 80% of high-powered weapons used by criminal gangs in Mexico are acquired in the United States and there is no control. What did this senator do? I don’t know,” he replied from the National Palace and where he alluded to Crenshaw’s proposal as “a hypocrisy”.

“So enough hypocrisy and seeing no more the speck in the other’s eye and not the beam in yours. (…) It is a senator who does not like Mexico, who is against us, the Mexicans”.
