Uruapan and Querétaro Marches Demand Justice After Mayor Carlos Manzo’s Killing

Participants framed the gatherings as nonpartisan displays of frustration with insecurity.

Overview

  • In Uruapan, families wearing white marched from Plaza 500 to the city center, covering more than 40 blocks to call for peace, liberty, and clarification of Manzo’s Nov. 1 homicide.
  • Protesters kept order and rejected party affiliations, arriving at the Pérgola Municipal with chants such as “alto a la violencia” and “Carlos Manzo vive, su lucha sigue.”
  • Supporters of Movimiento del Sonbreo joined en route, reportedly doubling the size of the contingent.
  • Speakers urged residents to continue Manzo’s project and to back municipal president Grecia Quiroz.
  • In Querétaro, hundreds rallied for peace and security and also demanded justice for the slain Uruapan mayor, with no new investigative findings reported.
