The killing of Carlos Manzo, mayor of Uruapan, Michoacán, has sparked outrage among residents of the state, many of whom have voiced frustration with the security strategy of Gov. Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla's administration.
The tragedy also drew widespread criticism at the federal level. On Nov. 4, during her daily morning news conference, President Claudia Sheinbaum announced a peace and justice plan to be implemented in Michoacán, a state that for decades has been contested by various criminal organizations.
