Institutions, grassroots, they exist and are striving to work. Security is necessary, gangs seem to be running free, and there is no control. It is true, people are afraid. Others and myself have protection. Between the criminal sector and police violence there is a thin line.
Drug lords use violence for political ends.
The police have a hard time of curtailing it. Only two units can deal with security. Many arrest deportees. Violence and fear have increased and are linked to the climate of instability. People ask for protection, not justice.
