September 14, 1991.
Two days before Mexican Independence Day, the trees and utility poles along the streets were draped with propaganda banners—and, of course, half-body portraits of General Victor.
The day was meant to symbolize the courage of the people resisting colonial rule; likewise, Victor had declared it as: Anti-Narcotics Day!
A day to commemorate and mourn fallen Drug Enforcement Warriors.
To demonstrate commitment, a batch of drug traffickers sentenced to death in the recovered state capitals, totaling 44,561 individuals, would be publicly executed simultaneously.
This was a plan announced directly to the public.
The Mexican National Anthem played daily, and meanwhile, the ugly illegal constructions along the main roads were demolished, and even cement roads were paved overnight.
Armored military vehicles patrolled everywhere, occasionally stopping to interrogate pedestrians.
