Puebla schools face drug trade, says Deputy Nayeli Salvatori

Deputy Nayeli Salvatori Bojalil of the Morena party reported that drug selling and consumption are occurring inside schools in the Cholula district of Puebla, Mexico. She said teachers have informed her of a network in which students themselves distribute illicit substances within a telesecundaria, and that many educators fear retaliation if they report the activity.

Salvatori called for stronger coordination among families, school staff, and authorities, urging parents to maintain close communication with their children and for the state to implement comprehensive security and prevention measures. She emphasized that the problem reflects broader social issues, including limited parental supervision, and highlighted the need for policy action to protect students and curb school‑based drug trade.
