In recent years, the Mexican government has exponentially expanded the role of the armed forces. The military is now in charge of a whole host of tasks: from managing internal security, to administering airports, construction sites and even state-owned companies. And that has made us at VisualPolitik ask ourselves a few questions:

How is it explained that the military has gained so much weight with a president who supposedly wanted to demilitarize the country? What caused such a political metamorphosis? To what extent does AMLO leave a militarized country?
