Two children killed in the revenge the clans had announced
The threat was made two years ago: "three are going to die." Now the violence between clans has left two underage victims, one of them unborn, in what everything points to as a settling of scores over control of drug trafficking. The events, spread in a highly graphic video, have raised the alarm.
A drug dispute that claims innocent victims
Reports published by Huelva24 and El Correo place the incident in the context of a war between groups dedicated to drug trafficking. The main hypothesis is that the threat made two years ago has been fulfilled, but with unforeseen consequences: two minors, one very young and one yet to be born, have died. The brutality of the video, showing images similar to those from other countries with organización criminal violence, has caused consternation.
Pressure on the authorities
The challenge to public safety is evident. The escalation of violence between clans is not new, but the involvement of children marks a turning point. The police and judicial response will determine whether this war is contained or whether, as some analyses warn, there will be more innocent victims. Given the precedents, there is no room for optimism.
