The issue of taxi driver abuses in Cancún and other tourist spots in Quintana Roo has been highlighted at a recent press conference held by Claudia Sheinbaum. The conference revealed a concerning network of complicity between the local taxi drivers' union and political figures.
The administration of Mara Lezama, who came to power under the 4T banners, has been unsuccessful in altering this unhealthy relationship, thereby perpetuating the abuses and potential government collusion. This has resulted in excessive charges and even assaults, affecting both tourists and residents due to the lack of oversight and suspected corruption.
The taxi drivers' union has been associated with high-profile crimes, with the governor being implicated for her alleged tolerance of these practices. The situation is further aggravated by the potential involvement of authorities and political figures in this corruption network, thereby reinforcing the perception of impunity.
