The governor of Michoacán, Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla, held a press conference to provide updates on the investigation into the murder of Uruapan's mayor, Carlos Manzo. The governor stated that the perpetrator was killed at the scene, detainees have been taken into custody, and there are witnesses. He reiterated his deep sorrow over the death of the young, courageous, and decisive mayor, whom he noted was aware of the risks he took in his fight against crime. Ramírez Bedolla emphasized the good relationship and permanent coordination he had with Manzo. He assured that the government will continue the projects and support for Uruapan, working in hand with the independent movement 'El Sombrero,' founded by Manzo. The governor mentioned he visited Uruapan 19 times this year to coordinate with Manzo and that he understands the public's legitimate anger and protests but stressed his responsibility to act and give face, preventing a tragedy at the Government Palace where vandalism was attempted. He confirmed that while the intellectual author of the attack has been detained, a criminal organization is behind the homicide.
