FNLS Says Talks Are Underway, Will End Morelia Sit-In if Teacher’s Case Advances

City officials cite a lack of permits, with a meeting set with state prosecutors Wednesday.

Overview

  • The encampment at Plaza Melchor Ocampo has been in place since October 1 and, according to FNLS, will remain until authorities address its demands.
  • Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla said the state has no dialogue with the group and urged Morelia not to allow the plaza tianguis, calling the activists violent.
  • FNLS disputes the governor’s assertion, saying it has met with state officials and will withdraw once a viable route is set in the case of detained teacher Leobardo Reyes Meza.
  • Morelia’s government says FNLS lacks municipal tolerance or permits and points to a session with the State Attorney General’s Office planned for Wednesday.
  • Tensions persist after October 12 confrontations with public-order police that included the seizure of tram buses, as FNLS reports ongoing patrols and drone overflights.
