FNLS Encampment in Morelia to Stay Indefinitely as Exit Is Tied to Key Detainee Case

A meeting with the state prosecutor was scheduled today to seek a path on the case of teacher Leobardo Reyes Meza.

Overview

  • FNLS leaders say they will lift the Plaza Melchor Ocampo plantón once authorities outline a viable route on the case of Leobardo Reyes Meza.
  • Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla said the state has no dialogue with the group and urged Morelia not to grant permission, calling the organization very violent.
  • FNLS disputes the governor’s claim and says it has met with state officials, the Judiciary and the FGE, asserting readiness to leave if progress is formalized.
  • Morelia’s city secretary Yankel Benítez says the group lacks any municipal tolerance, license or permit, and the city offered Plaza Carrillo as an alternative site.
  • Tensions followed an October 12 confrontation with UROP that included the seizure of two tram buses, and the group reports ongoing patrols and drone overflights.
