Miguel Eduardo Valle Espinoza (nicknamed the Owl) was a Mexican journalist, writer, and politician. He was the first to publicize the existence of the Gulf Cartel and its operations in a dozen other Mexican states. In 1994 he named the political and economic state of Mexico as "narco-democracy" and in 2003 he referred to it as "narco-state".[1][2][3]
"The problem is that when you control the federal police, the local police, judges, journalists, bankers, banks, part of the military and so forth, you become a state within the state."[4]
He lived in exile in the United States for some years due to threats against his life. He later lived as a journalist in Matamoros until his last days.
