Members of that group on Thursday held 16 National Guard agents on the Tecoanapa-Chilpancingo federal highway, as a measure to demand the release of 10 of their fellow detainees last November 11 in Xaltianguis, Acapulco.
In this regard, the National Guard informed, in the card issued on its Twitter account, that these people request a table of negotiations in agreement with the Guerrero government in the case of the detention of members of their organization.
In August 2013, the same community guard in Tecoanapa retained more than a hundred soldiers, accused of being part of organized crime.
That fact marked a verbal confrontation between the indigenous leader of the UPOEG, Bruno Plácido Valerio, and government officials of Enrique Peña Nieto.
A mess
ReplyDeleteExchange of prisoners....what a fucking mess Mexico is.
ReplyDeleteIt’s the result of military oppression for centuries towards the Mexican population son, education is what most perspectives lack on these inputs.
Delete3:18 the US itself caved in and exchanged weapons for hostages,
DeleteRonnie Reagan himself acknowledged it in public, it was better than acknowledging the dirty illegal oil dealings trafficked in high seas by his government officers to privatize money and to keep secret their cocaine dealings with the contras and other Latin american banana republic dictators.
Mexico's federal government is just trying to have the less killings possible, specially of innocents, but the local state former fuerzas rurales and their associate criminals know how far to go and where to burn buses, covered up by PRD GOVERNOR conejo.
Upoeg is a criminal organization
