From 'Insight-Organized Crime in the Americas'

Mexico Rules Out Talks With Cartels: "In the fourth of a series busting the 'myths' around the war on organized crime, Mexico's government has released a blog entry on why it would be wrong to negotiate with criminal groups.

National security spokesman Alejandro Poire argued via his official blog that tolerance or inaction by the authorities was at fault for letting the country's criminal groups expand and grow more powerful.

He stated that this course of action has undermined institutions, and allowed criminals to harm society."
