More than 100 Politicians Killed Ahead of Mexico Elections
墨西哥选举前100多名政治家被杀
At least 130 politicians were murdered in the lead-up to Mexico’s federal election last Sunday, making 2017-18 the most violent election season in Mexico’s modern history. Crime against politicians in Mexico is directly related to drug cartels. In addition to murder, Mexican politicians are often victims of kidnapping and extortion. Mexican politicians who condemn the cartels are at a high risk as are those who collude with them. Two politicians were murdered on election day as left-wing López Obrador won the presidency in a landslide victory. In 2017, nearly 30, 000 people were murdered in Mexico, the nation’s highest homicide rate in two decades.
在上周日墨西哥举行联邦选举前的准备工作中，至少有130名政治家被谋杀，让2017-18成为墨西哥现代史上最暴力的选举季。针对墨西哥政治家的犯罪与贩毒集团直接相关。除谋杀外，墨西哥政治家们还经常是绑架和敲诈勒索的受害者。谴责贩毒集团的墨西哥政治家和与他们勾结的人一样处于高风险之中。两名政治家在选举当日被谋杀，左翼洛佩斯·奥夫拉多尔以压倒性优势赢得总统职位。2017年，墨西哥有近3万人被谋杀，这是该国20年来杀人犯罪率最高的一次。
