Mexico's Extraordinary Escape (Al Jazeera English)
Virtually all Mexicans know about the escape of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, but most distrust the government's version and doubt that he will be recaptured, according to a telephone survey conducted by El Universal last week.
However, if he was recaptured, most Mexicans think that he should be extradited to the United States.
Also, a majority of the participants said they would not denounce El Chapo despite the reward offered by the government, out of fear of reprisals, lack of trust in the government or because they see him as a hero.
They also believe that President Enrique Peña Nieto should have returned from his state visit to France after Mexico's most wanted drug lord fled prison.
97% of the participants in the survey knew about the escape of the Sinaloa cartel boss, but 80% do not believe the version given by the government. Only 16% of the respondents believe the official version.
