A | A Mexican official on Monday confirmed a shocking video that emerged over the weekend of cartel gunmen forcing the drivers of about a dozen tanker trucks to dump their entire loads of gasoline into a field.The official, who was not authorized to be quoted by name, said the incident occurred last week in the border city of Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas, and was under investigation.The official said the gunmen had apparently forced the truck drivers to line their parked vehicles up on a dirt road to dump their cargo.Asked about the videos, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador acknowledged “there is resistance from criminals” in the area, long known for cartel violence, adding that “We continue to confront them.”In the video, a presumed member of the cartel can be heard mentioning the Gulf cartel faction known as The Scorpions, and saying all trucks carrying gasoline would suffer the same fate unless “they get in line,” or pay protection money to the gang.In the video, open valves on the bottom of the tankers could be seen spewing gasoline like fire hoses, as armed men looked on. “This is going to happen to all the grasshoppers,” a man's voice can be heard saying, an apparent reference to Mexican gang slang that compares those who “jump” through a cartel's territory to the hoppy insects.Criminals in the border state of Tamaulipas have long drilled into state-owned pipelines to steal fuel, but now an even more complex situation is taking place.Because of cross-border price differentials, it is sometimes profitable to import gasoline from Texas and sell it in Mexican border cities in Tamaulipas. López Obrador's administration has long complained that many of the truckers mislabel their cargo to avoid import tariffs.Others legally import U.S. gasoline, a practice the Mexican government dislikes because it reduces sales for the state-owned oil company.“We are there to protect the citizens of Tamaulipas, so they don't have to buy stolen or smuggled fuel,” López Obrador said Monday.But the Gulf drug cartel apparently demands money from both legal importers and those who seek to avoid paying import duties.One businessman who asked not to be identified for fear of reprisals said the gang is demanding a payment of $500 per truck even to allow legally imported gasoline through the city of Matamoros, an important border crossing.The businessman added that Tamaulipas authorities often provide escorts for tanker trucks precisely to prevent such attacks.It was the latest instance of lawlessness in Matamoros, where in March four Americans were shot at and abducted by a drug gang. The Americans were found days later, two dead, one wounded and without physical injuries.____Follow AP’s coverage of Latin America and the Caribbean at https://apnews.com/hub/latin-america。 杭州日报讯 前几天，台风“白海豚”来势汹汹。为了安全，杭州武林夜市在3小时内，火速拆除了180个摊位的雨棚。8月11日，武林夜市的管理员、商户、拱墅综合行政执法武林中队、拱墅城运红旗班等40余人，用6个小时把摊位全部复原。3小时极速拆除、6小时全速复原，这“一拆一复”不是简单的 “动作快”，而是城市精细化治理的缩影。该拆则拆保安全，该复即复稳烟火，风险面前有速度、民生烟火有温度、经济发展有尺度，尽显柔性治理、弹性治理与精准治理的智慧。应急拆除，是守护民生安全的速度。夜市露天雨棚抗风能力弱，面对风险隐患武林夜市没有迟疑观望、敷衍应对，而是闻令而动，以极短时间完成隐患清理。
B | 闻令而动、极速处置的背后，是成熟的应急处置机制，是基层治理队伍的责任担当，更是城市始终把群众生命安全放在首位的坚守。城市治理的底气，从来都藏在每一次未雨绸缪、每一次快速响应之中。
C | 快速复原，是呵护市井烟火的温情尺度。复原的不仅是摊位设施，更是万千商户的生计。值得一提的是，2021年武林夜市党支部成立，这也是杭州夜市业态的首个党支部。武林夜市党支部书记叶连忠说：“在这里，商户不再是独立经营的生意人，更是街区治理的参与者。
D | ”平时，大家互相照应、维护秩序；遇到台风等险情，摊主们会主动放下生意，配合隐患排查。这种双向奔赴的默契，让城市充满了人情味。如今的武林夜市，早已不仅是吃吃喝喝的地方，它创新“武林故事”IP、孵化网红摊主，甚至把夜市开到了江苏镇江。今年上半年，武林街道餐饮业营业额同比增长8.3%，小小夜市迸发出源源不断的经济韧性与发展活力。大城善治，贵在细节、重在初心。
E | 一座城市的治理水平，从来不只体现在宏大的城市基建中，更藏在夜市的一摊一景、一拆一复里。最好的城市治理，是向“服务思维”转变，立足细微、深耕精细、以人为本，兼顾理性与温情，不断推进城市治理体系和治理能力现代化。这正是人民城市理念的生动体现。
