- Intimidation and Coercion: Cartels often use violence and intimidation tactics to influence local politics. They may threaten or harm political candidates, officials, or civilians who oppose their interests or refuse to cooperate with them. This creates a climate of fear that can deter individuals from engaging in political activities or speaking out against cartel influence.
- Corruption and Infiltration: Cartels infiltrate local governments by bribing or coercing officials to serve their interests. They may provide financial support to political campaigns in exchange for political favors or protection from law enforcement. This corruption undermines the rule of law and erodes public trust in government institutions.
- Election Interference: Cartels may manipulate local elections through coercion, bribery, or violence to ensure that candidates sympathetic to their interests are elected to office. They may also intimidate voters or disrupt the electoral process to influence the outcome in their favor.
- Fragmentation of Power: In regions where multiple cartels operate, they often compete for control over territory and resources, leading to violent turf wars. This fragmentation of power can result in a lack of centralized governance and the emergence of local power structures aligned with different cartel factions. This further complicates efforts to address cartel-related violence and undermines the authority of the state.
- Impact on Governance and Service Delivery: Cartel violence can disrupt local governance and hinder the delivery of essential services such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure development. Government officials may struggle to carry out their duties effectively in areas plagued by violence, leading to a breakdown in public order and social cohesion.
