Overview
- On Nov. 23, artists, cultural promoters and social groups erased the name of Rubén Figueroa Figueroa at a park in the Morelos neighborhood of Chilpancingo.
- They covered the plaque and placed a photograph of teacher and guerrilla leader Lucio Cabañas, according to organizers.
- The action followed a Nov. 9 state homage to Figueroa in Huitzuco under Governor Evelyn Salgado, which survivors and families of Dirty War victims denounced.
- Organizers said the site will go through a community process to select a different name accepted by residents.
- Social groups demanded a public apology and changes to Guerrero’s civic calendar, and sources in the state government reported the resignation of a civic-activities director and the creation of a review commission.
