Enrique Peña Nieto
couldn't be happier. And somewhere, somebody at Time Inc. must be breathing a
huge sigh of relief. Coinciding with the controversial Time Magazine cover that
portrays the Mexican president as the country's savior against narcs, Joaquín Guzmán
Loera was captured this Saturday in Mazatlán,
Mexico.
"El Chapo" -- as he is known -- is considered the world's most
powerful drug lord, and his aprehesion after 13 years of being at-large could
crown Peña Nieto as an actual effective leader.
"I recognize the
labor of the institutions that look out for the safety of our country in
capturing Joaquín Gumzán Loera in Mazatlán," Peña Nieto wrote. "The
Government of the Mexican Republic works to guarantee the safety and the
execution of laws in our territory so we can achive a Mexico at
peace."
Peña Nieto went on to
thank specific organizations involved in the "El Chapo" Guzmán
capture. "The coordination of the SEGOB (Secretaría de Gobierno), SEDENA
(Secretaría de Defensa Nacional), SEMAR (Secretaría de Marina), PGR
(Procuraduría General de la República), Federal Mexican Police and CISEN
(Centro de Investigación y Seguridad Nacional) was decisive. Congratulations to
all."
