Mexico obviously has said, no, that's a red line for this government.

They would view it as a violation of sovereignty.

But you have to continually make that case because Donald Trump has said on many occasions he wants to send troops into Mexico.

He wants to use drone strikes.

And Mexican President Claudio Chambam has said, you can share intelligence, but when it comes to military action, we conduct it because this is our territory.

And I think this is in a lot of ways really good for the Mexican government in that sense to say, look,

Share us information.

We can act on it and we can take care of it.

And obviously now the task is to deal with the fallout, to deal with these incidents, although they've largely been under control.

As of yesterday, 90% of all the roadblocks had been stopped, had been kind of, you know, de-established.

But, you know, this morning, Gladys Scheinbaum is in her morning press conference now, and she's giving the message as we speak, essentially giving the same thing, that things are now fully under control.

Yeah, and it's quite likely that there'll be some actors who will make that kind of case and say, well, look, look what everything is happening.

You clearly don't have under control.

And that's actually why I think we saw online yesterday just fake images, artificial intelligence.

There was this image of a plane on fire that was not real whatsoever.

You know, somebody apparently triggered an alarm inside of the airport in Guadalajara, and that made some people panic.

And then somebody took that image and said, look, the commandos from the organized crime groups have taken over the airport because they want to sow this chaos.

They want to sow this kind of sense of a lack of control in order to, I think, in one regard, try to support this argument that it's out of control and the Mexican government can't handle it.

But also to try to, like I said at the beginning, to send this message that they are more powerful than perhaps people account for.

Right.
