Wonder if El Chapo knows who is stealing the gasoline in Mexico?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Down in Mexico, he is AMLO, or Presidente Andrés Manuel López-Obrador.
As you know, he won a big election in Mexico last July and assumed the presidency on December 1.
So far, President López-Obrador cannot be happy with the items on his agenda. My good guess is that he did not plan to spend the early days of his presidency enhancing security on the Guatemala border or chasing down criminals stealing gasoline.
Down on their southern border, Mexico will get proactive to prevent the entry of illegal aliens. I wonder what will happen when that other caravan from Honduras reaches the Guatemala-Mexico border! According to my contacts in Mexico, public opinion is against allowing these people into the country.
Around Mexico City, a metropolitan area of more than 20 million people and God only knows how many millions of automobiles, there is a shortage of gasoline.
This is from news reports:
A major fuel pipeline that supplies Mexico City remained closed after two ruptures in a single day, the president said on Friday, as the government works to stem shortages that have frustrated motorists and triggered economic risks.President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s offensive against fuel robbers marks the leftist’s first attempt to tackle entrenched corruption since taking office on Dec. 1.Criminal groups have tapped pipelines and stolen tanker trucks carrying diesel and gasoline in the oil-producing country for years, costing the government billions of dollars.The government will assign 8,300 police and 1,400 security vehicles over the next 48 hours to safeguard fuel trucks so they can deliver to gas stations, said Mexico’s National Chamber of Freight Transport (CANACAR).
The economy is an issue, but there are bigger questions.
Who is behind this operation to steal gasoline from pipelines? It has to be a major criminal enterprise, or cartels. It’s hard for me to believe that these are teenagers pulling off a Friday night prank. The operation has all of the makings of a disciplined project, or people who know where the pipelines are and own the tools to steal the gasoline.
Maybe they should question El Chapo about this!
Are any PEMEX officials behind the thefts? I just heard from a Mexican friend that PEMEX officials are stealing the gasoline and selling it under the table to retailers. I can’t confirm that but my friend said it’s true!
It’s complicated, as everything in Mexico always is.
Again, ask El Chapo about these shortages!
In the meantime, get ready for some long gas lines if you are driving down to Mexico.
This is not the way that Lopez-Obrador had planned to spend first first 45 days!

Nobody at the pumps today, stations closed. I moved to Mexico in 2008 and soon after learned about the gasoline theft by cartels. One must understand the Cartels are partners in the Government. I wonder why they don’t have an office in Mexico City. I went out today and all 5 local stations were closed. Walmart was mysteriously empty and the people at check out looked as though they were buying like prepper’s, probably a good thing. On my way home from Walmart I stopped at the gas station to fill the water tank in my motor home and ask when they would expect a gas delivery. Monday around 3PM the worker said as he smiled. The new President best tread lightly or he will find himself hanging from a highway overpass by his feet with no head. I wish no harm upon L.O. but when the police earn $900.00Mx a week or $45.00US they are ripe for corruption. As is anyone with a uniform but for the Marines. Add to that 57% of the local police have not finished high school and you have a real problem. Lopez Obredor was not recruited by the Military like Trump was, so this is going to become interesting. No gas no food deliveries. I was stopped for not wearing a seat belt ( DWG – driving while gringo) I handed over my expired Arizona license and was let go because the officer could not read it. And I thought I was going to the beach this week.
