Overview
- Governor Evelyn Salgado said her administration is coordinating with Lucio Cabañas’s family to stage an official homage on December 2, marking the 51st anniversary of his death.
- Salgado pledged that her government will not side with repressors, will not persecute the people, and will keep dialogue open with social movements.
- The National Human Rights Commission urged the Guerrero Congress and local authorities to revise the civic calendar to align with serious historical memory, citing documented political violence including Aguas Blancas, and President Claudia Sheinbaum also asked lawmakers to review why Figueroa remains on the list.
- Following the backlash, the state Secretariat of Culture began reviewing its norms and removed its civic activities director, Yareli Muñoz López.
- Victims’ advocates, including Comité Eureka! and relatives of Lucio Cabañas, condemned the Figueroa tribute and pressed for memory sites and investigations into disappearances tied to the Dirty War.
