The event took place at the International Horse Fair grounds, with the special guest being the leader of the Morena party in the State of Mexico, Higinio Martínez. During the event, Martínez Miranda took the opportunity to announce his return to the Senate of the Republic in January to resume his legislative activities, a position for which he said he was elected by more than five million residents of the State of Mexico, alongside his running mate Mariela Gutiérrez Escalante. "I am convinced that the decisive participation of President Claudia Sheinbaum—not now because of the Carlos Manzo issue, but since she began her government—will help us to calm the situation in Michoacán, the State of Mexico, and throughout the country," he insisted. A week ago, Morena Senator Sandra Luz Falcón Venegas presented her first legislative activity report in Texcoco, accompanied by municipal, state, and federal authorities. "A year ago, I mentioned it in the Senate because they decapitated a mayor in Chilpancingo, and before Carlos Manzo, the leader of lemon producers. I may have differences with the governor, with some of her government's methods, what is the problem there, what is the crime there?" he said. Falcón Venegas is the alternate senator for the State of Mexico. He also anticipated that once he rejoins the upper house, the Texcoco native will reactivate his tour of the municipalities to gather the impressions of the more than 5 million voters who supported his ticket, after ensuring that there are municipalities in the State of Mexico that the Fourth Transformation has not yet reached. He reiterated his absolute respect for Governor Delfina Gómez, even as he stated that not all the members of her cabinet are up to the commitment of the Government of the State of Mexico. "For me, the murder of Carlos Manzo is a horror that must be stopped," he said. "All that must end," he said. He also recalled the case of the former mayor of Valle de Chalco, Francisco Tenorio, who was murdered in 2019. "We cannot think the same, we can act with principles, responsibility, and discipline." "I trust in the leadership of teacher Delfina, but I feel that not all of her collaborators are up to the commitment, but there is a gap that must be corrected, but it is up to teacher Delfina to decide," he said. Following the increases in the State of Mexico, CDMX seeks an agreement with transporters. In the same vein, Higinio called for an end to the violence plaguing the country following the recent homicide of Carlos Manzo, mayor of Uruapan, Michoacán, with emphasis on the State of Mexico.
