Abstract

In 2017, leaders of a civil association with a focus on transparency were invited to a gala dinner in the provincial Mexican city of Zamora, together with local reporters and others considered to be opinion leaders. I did not attend the dinner, but some of the guests confided to me afterward that they had doubts about the real agenda behind it. Among their hosts were not only the municipal president but also a hotelier and a lawyer, both of whom, they said, had a reputation for being linked to organized crime.
