More than 100 Politicians Killed Ahead of Mexico Elections
墨西哥選舉前100多名政治家被殺
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.
在上周日墨西哥舉行聯邦選舉前的準備工作中，至少有130名政治家被謀殺，讓2017-18成為墨西哥現代史上最暴力的選舉季。針對墨西哥政治家的犯罪與販毒集團直接相關。除謀殺外，墨西哥政治家們還經常是綁架和敲詐勒索的受害者。譴責販毒集團的墨西哥政治家和與他們勾結的人一樣處于高風險之中。兩名政治家在選舉當日被謀殺，左翼洛佩斯·奧夫拉多爾以壓倒性優勢贏得總統職位。2017年，墨西哥有近3萬人被謀殺，這是該國20年來殺人犯罪率最高的一次。
