Mexican Mayor Found Dead in Van Just Days after Mexican Politician Assassinated
Daily Fetched ^ | June 24, 2024 | Jason Walsh

A mayor in southern Mexico was found murdered in the back of van, just days after another politician was killed in the same region.

Acacio Flores, who represents Malinaltepec, was found dead after the killing of Salvador Villalba Flores, another mayor from Guerrero state elected in June 2 polls.

Prosecutors in Guerrero said Lores’ death had been ruled a homicide, and agents of the Ministerial Police were investigating.

Flores was found with a bullet wound to the back of the head in the back of a van, a human rights campaigner told AFP.

The rights activist said the politician was detained Thursday in an Indigenous village, CBS news reported.

The mayor was later attacked and kidnapped while traveling to Alacatlazala, local media reported.

The public prosecutor in Guerrero said they were reviewing possible land ownership disputes.

Guerrero governor, Evelyn Salgado Pineda, condemned the murder and promised that authorities would “identify, locate and bring to justice the perpetrators.”

Prior to Flores’s death, the politician posted on social media that he was “delivering results” and “leaving a mark on the most remote villages of the municipality.”

Since the start of Mexico’s campaign season, around 30 political candidates have been killed, according to Data Civica.

In Mexico’s general election, leftist Claudia Sheinbaum was elected by an overwhelming majority, becoming the country’s first woman president.

Two female politicians have been killed since the election.

A gunman shot and killed a local councilwoman as she left her home earlier this June.

Just days before her murder, a Mexican mayor and her bodyguard were murdered outside a gym on the day Sheinbaum won her victory.

BREAKING NEWS: Gisela Gaytán, candidate of the Morena party for mayor of Celaya in Guanajuato, Mexico, was murdered.

The candidate was attacked with bullets while she was at a rally in the community of San Miguel Octopan.

Guerrero reported 1,890 murders in 2023 and is one of the six Mexican states that the U.S. State Department recommends Americans avoid due to rampant violent crime.

you got that right. Look for liberal media denying the drug cartels have anything to do with these in America.

Meantime, remember this is exactly what the communists did in Vietnam. Any village leader not on their side was assassinated.

We went to visit my wife’s mother for Mother’s Day.

She lives in a extremely small rural southern Georgia village, just has a flashing light on the main highway. Literally, if you blink, you will miss it. Population about 100, if that many.

As we were getting out of the truck in front of her house, what should come walking down the street but a Mexican, Latino anyways, with a knapsack.......................

No, they mean 'attacked with bullets'.

People came to the mayor and, with a bullet in each hand, attacked him.

With out-of-control immigration wevwill have the same thing here shortly. Much easier to convince people to vote for the muderer’s candidate after that happens. Would you tell them no?

Gabe Kotter : James Buchanan is not anywhere. It’s in Bensonhurst, which is in Brooklyn, which is where I spent four degenerate years as a student. You know how rough that is? The gangs there don’t use guns. They insert the bullets manually.

Are the authorities really certain he was murdered? I mean, in the US the authorities have determined that several people have committed suicide even though the deceased was shot and the gun was too far away or the bullet bullet entry location was not appropriate for a suicide. I think we should send our people down there just to check the evidence. /S/
