“They are not the photographs that are presented there, even because of the damage to the health that could be caused to those who are ‘cooking’, just say that or is very credible (…) and we are going to demonstrate it scientifically.”
In turn, he said that the newspaper presents a form that does not correspond to the production of the drug, so in January “we are going to present it here, how fentanyl production is done”.

Likewise, he stressed that the materials it disseminates regarding the subject are already a trend in the American media:
“This issue from the NYT in relation to drug production in Mexico comes from before; here with President López Obrador, and There was already another linked report, according to thisto the co-option of chemistry students to manufacture very powerful drugs, and now the one that was presented yesterday.”
This weekend the American media indicated that, after 4 attempts, was able to access “a kitchen” of fentanyl located in Culiacán, Sinaloa.
According to the story presented, its staff was with 2 alleged criminals – with their faces covered and with minimal safety equipment – who were preparing the synthetic opioid on a stove, with kitchen utensils, and who:

That was the reason why the main cook’s assistant had had to run out of the kitchen when the fumes began to permeate the air.
In May, the then head of the Navy, Admiral Rafel Ojeda Durán, pointed out in “Mañanera” that in 2 alleged laboratories accessed by US media and England were not intended for the production of fentanyl.
At that time, Ojeda Durán stressed that fentanyl was not manufactured in the country, and that those sites were dedicated to the production of methamphetamine; He even stressed that in those places there were no minimum conditions to protect life of alleged criminals when exposed to chemicals related to the drug.
