Uruapan Authorities Cancel Mexican Revolution Parade

René Valencia, leader of a movement in Uruapan, Mexico, reports ongoing death threats from criminal groups. He has suspended live broadcasts for safety and criticizes the current security policy in the region.

A poll shows that 43.4% of Michoacán residents would support Grecia Quiroz de Manzo, the widow of assassinated Uruapan mayor Carlos Manzo, in the gubernatorial election. She is leading candidates from major parties, showing a rare phenomenon for the state.

Mexico's defense chief stated that the security protocol for the mayor of Uruapan, who was killed last week, did not fail. He emphasized that the protection scheme from the National Guard was active and responsibility lies elsewhere.
