Overview
- Federal deputy Lupita Arías cautioned that any new attack on movement members could unleash a larger crisis than the one following Carlos Manzo’s assassination.
- Arías said leaders are afraid and arrived to an event in Ocolusen escorted by a National Guard convoy.
- She insisted the movement will not halt its agenda and will carry on the causes Manzo championed.
- Grecia Quiroz, Manzo’s widow, assumed the mayoralty a little over two weeks ago and faces a difficult leadership task.
- An immediate test for the new administration is a severe municipal shortfall, with local estimates putting the deficit near 130 million pesos.
