Antonio Zapata criticizes the New York District Attorney's request to apply the death penalty to "El Mayo" Zambada, arguing that it is a ridiculous and useless proposal. The author explains that Zambada is a valuable intelligence asset who could reveal crucial information about Mexican drug trafficking and its connections with the government. It is suggested that the request is an attempt to manipulate public opinion and justify the resentment toward Mexico from certain U.S. sectors. Additionally, it mentions that the Mexican Attorney General's Office has validated information provided by Zambada, further increasing his importance as a source.
