Just imagine if this scenario was replicated in the U.S. in states like California, Texas, and Florida.

PRESIDENT OBRADOR JUST DECLARED A NATIONAL EMERGENCY (the way some suspect Trump will) AND HE IS CLEANING UP THE CORRUPT!

So we have Obrador declaring a national emergency at the same time Trump is likely to.
The reason for President Obrador's national emergency: Sham people from previous administrations who are part of PEMEX (which still exists and provides 100 percent of Mexico's gasoline despite "privatization") are having hoaxers cut gasoline pipelines to "steal" gas. Some does get stolen this way, but what the corrupted people are doing is re-routing the gasoline the "vandals" stole into their own collection areas and are blaming everything that is gone on the pipeline breach.

Obrador figured it out and rather than take a cut the way previous administrations did, he is having the pipelines rapidly repaired, and then having the military guard every pipeline along it's entire length. He has hypothesized that the gasoline will still get stolen (broken pipeline or not) because the corrupt have budgets they need to meet, and when gas vanishes and there is no broken pipeline it will be easier to nail the perpetrators.

A form of martial law is now in place in Mexico. They are totally leaving ordinary people alone and are using trucks to transport all the gasoline with full accountability. This has caused major supply bottlenecks and gasoline waiting lines a mile or more long at every single station, with ALL of them out of gas. What a scene!

He promises that in the end, the "elite" that are stealing the gas will be in jail, and gasoline prices will be lower, but there will be pain for a while . . .

MAJOR CRISIS IN MEXICO

People from previous administrations are ripping up the gasoline pipelines and using the breaks in the gas lines as a reason to steal gas (they just say all the gas vanished through the broken pipe.)

This has cut fuel supplies to major cities in six Mexican states. The car is almost out of gas and I am not going anywhere with it. The gas lines are now so long that there are two in my area, that are longer than the gas stations they are for than the distance from the house to the gas station. Why bother with a line when the car is safely parked, closer to the gas stations than the ends of the gas waiting lines are?

People slept in their cars all night. Most likely because many are out of gas and can't leave the line anyway. I did not see any crime related to this, just miles of people sleeping in cars, cars with no one in them, empty spaces where people gave up and left but the cars did not move forward to fill them, etc.

If this is not resolved very quickly there is going to be an epic crisis.
