The Mexican government mobilized the army in 2006 to strengthen the crackdown on drug trafficking. However, as a result of the division of the drug cartel by this "drug war," violence has expanded as a new small-scale narcotics organization is born. There seems to be a frequent occurrence of cases of killing politicians who do not try to respond to transactions.

It can be confirmed that the number of politicians (red) and electoral candidate (black) murdered has increased significantly from 2017 to 2018 compared to 2011 - 2012.



In Mexico there are 25,339 cases of murder, the worst record in 2017. However, the number of murders in May 2018 was 4381, which is the worst record since the survey started. While the elections are coming to an end, the murder case has occurred in 2018 at a pace exceeding the worst 2017 year.
