Uruapan Marches Again for Carlos Manzo With Peace and Justice Caravan

The protests underscore a demand for justice that the city is channeling into a public memorial project.

Overview

  • Hundreds joined a Sunday caravan from Paseo Lázaro Cárdenas toward central Uruapan, with foot and vehicle contingents, chants, and Municipal Transit patrols guiding the route.
  • A live feed from local outlet Quadratín estimated at least 500 participants in the second march of the day as demonstrators called for justice for the slain mayor.
  • City officials invited residents to donate keys at the Casa de la Cultura to forge a statue in Carlos Manzo’s memory, outlining drop-off details and hours.
  • Grecia Quiroz, Manzo’s widow, has been sworn in as municipal president following the Nov. 1 killing at a public Día de Muertos event.
  • Coverage situated the mobilizations alongside the federal Plan for Security and Peace in Michoacán, while noting earlier reports that a 17-year-old identified as the suspected shooter was killed by authorities.
