Crime Outlook Shifts: From Skepticism to Hope

People currently seem to think the U.S. anti‑cartel effort beyond its borders will not happen right away. Early expectations appear to be leaning toward a no outcome, and the overall mood feels bearish. Most observers express doubt, showing little confidence that any action will be taken soon.

By the middle of the year, opinions start to shift. The view becomes more mixed, with a slight edge still on the no side. Some remain doubtful, while a few begin to see a possible change. The overall feeling is divided, indicating a weakening of the earlier skepticism.

Later expectations start to tilt toward a more positive outlook. People now seem to think the operation could happen, and a sense of growing optimism spreads. The mood turns bullish, reflecting a strengthening belief that something will occur.

In a separate legal matter, the case of Flávio Bolsonaro shows a very different pattern. The prevailing feeling is overwhelmingly against any charge or arrest by the targeted month. Most observers stay skeptical, with strong doubt and a left‑leaning expectation that the legal action will not materialize.
