The murder of Uruapan's mayor, Carlos Manzo, is a priority issue for President Claudia Sheinbaum, who condemned the crime and announced that security will be reinforced in Michoacán and other states under a strategy based on intelligence, zero impunity, and addressing the root causes. The fact is that while the brutal crime remains unpunished, various sides are expending their energy on fighting, which does not help achieve justice. According to the President, the demands for greater security are not real but are the work of bots—yes, you guessed it—of the right. There was no self-criticism of the seven years of the 4T governments, nor of the administrations of governors identified with Morena who have been in charge of Michoacán in different six-year terms. The war that has broken out following the murder of Mayor Carlos Manzo is raging on social media, where accounts managed by pro-government supporters are going up against those of critics of the current regime. "We will not leave the people of Michoacán alone and there will be no impunity," Sheinbaum stated. It is reported that yesterday, personnel from the French embassy in Mexico were at the National Palace to review the final details of the meeting that President Claudia Sheinbaum will have with her French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, this Friday. The country is watching. The main objective of the meeting is to recover two indigenous codices that are in that country, according to what the head of state reported last week. Sheinbaum promised justice, without exceptions. By the way, she will also meet this month with the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. The immediate call to the security cabinet by Claudia Sheinbaum to "take action" regarding the homicide of Mayor Carlos Manzo seemed to mark a determined path to address a serious security crisis. HOWEVER, THE CONTRAST with what was said yesterday during most of the morning conference, where she blamed past governments for what is happening in Michoacán, sends bad signals about how they are approaching the problem. Although for some it is no longer a surprise, it still calls attention that she began to blame the violence... on Felipe Calderón!
