TLALNEPANTLA (El Universal).— Given the insecurity and attacks on politicians, especially candidates, the rental of cars and armored trucks increased 30%, indicated Erick Cuenca Gurrola, president of Coparmex Metropolitano.
As security experts “we have asked to participate in the peace tables of the State of Mexico”, since in the municipalities of the Valley of Mexico businessmen “we are already participating,” said the leader of Coparmex Metropolitano.
“Unfortunately, due to the insecurity that is especially affecting politicians and candidates at this time, the rental of armored vehicles has increased by 30%.” This rebound, the businessman calculated, will continue during the political campaigns and until June 2, however many municipal presidents usually maintain vehicle rentals, if not permanently, then for two months.
The monthly cost of an armored car with an armed driver is 180 thousand to 190 thousand pesos, but these are cars that, due to their armor, have a cost of 1 million 200 thousand to 2 million pesos. There are also Cherokee and Suburban or Mercedes Benz van rentals. Level 3 and 4 armor withstands shots from a 9 millimeter weapon and even an assault rifle. Municipal politicians lean towards level 3 shielding.
