Mexico’s Corruption, Violence, and Impunity Crisis

Context and the Surrounding Situation in Mexico

Héctor López, an ethical hacker and cybersecurity educator based in Guanajuato, Mexico, joined the Twitter Space because he woke up very early with intense anxiety and insomnia (“bien ansioso”) over the catastrophic national security and political situation in Mexico.

The immediate trigger for his distress was the assassination of a mayor in Uruapan. This event, along with other high-profile security failures, solidified Héctor’s feeling that Mexico is experiencing a severe state of collapse where elected officials and critics are systematically targeted.

Héctor’s background as a crypto-anarchist and hacktivist who focuses on exposing corruption and vulnerabilities means he is highly attuned to the political dangers and has a reputation for speaking critically with facts. The atmosphere of constant threats and violence is profoundly impacting his peace of mind.

Héctor sought out Alberto for several key reasons rooted in their established relationship and shared critical outlook:

Trust and Voice: Héctor stated he values Alberto for listening to him and giving him “un poco de espacio y un poco de voz” (a bit of space and a voice) to express his profound concerns.
Shared Critique and Rhetoric: Alberto is a known collaborator and cybersecurity peer, even ranked high among Héctor’s frequent interactors. They share a similar critical and impartial approach to political analysis. When Héctor mentions receiving hate for using sarcasm to comment on the murder, Alberto immediately validates his technique, noting he uses the same method to address “ridiculous” situations.
Amplification of Issues: Alberto has previously been involved in amplifying content related to Mexico, and Héctor knows Alberto will process the recording and generate content to spread awareness of the catastrophic situation to a wider audience, which Héctor feels is necessary.
Impartiality: Héctor highly values Alberto’s ability to remain critical, abstract, and objective, avoiding the political fanaticism common in Mexico (being pro- or anti-Claudia). This provides a safe intellectual space for Héctor to express his distress without judgment or political alignment.
