Sheinbaum will support Grecia Quiroz, Manzo's widow, as mayor of Uruapan

MEXICO CITY (apro) – President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed that with the arrival of Grecia Quiroz to the municipal government of Uruapan, they agreed to continue communication to support the municipality within the general framework of the Michoacán Plan for peace and justice.

“We also talked about the future; she will be the mayor of Uruapan. Today she will be sworn in at the State Congress,” the president said about Quiroz.

This Tuesday, the federal president met with the widow of the mayor of Uruapan, Carlos Manzo, who was murdered on Friday night at a public event in the context of the Day of the Dead; she also met with the victim's brother, Juan Manzo.

The meeting was attended by the Secretary of Security, Omar García Harfuch, and Lázaro Cárdenas, who was governor of Michoacán during the period when violence began to spiral out of control in the state and requested the presence of the federal government, at that time under Felipe Calderón, who began the war against drug trafficking in that state, an event that the current and previous governments blame for the violence that continues in Mexico.

Both were at the National Palace and "rightly demand justice and that this investigation be completed and that justice be done for the murder, homicide, of the municipal president, Carlos Manzo."

The governor of Michoacán, Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla, attended the security cabinet meeting this morning and will meet with federal authorities, including the Secretary of the Interior, Rosa Icela Rodríguez, to advance the President's plan.
