Fito escaped and he's mad... Tbh idk what the government can even do here.
They are probably going to pull an El Salvador move.
President already pushed for allowing the army in the streets and is now pushing to allow them into buildings to hit the cartels hard.
Civil rules are going to be bent to stomp the gangs. I don't like it but with these levels of violence it's more akin to a civil war than organized crime.
