"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat
A mayoral candidate and five other people were killed when people opened fire at a campaign rally in southern Mexico state of Chiapas, officials said, marking yet another shooting in an area known as a trafficking route for migrant and drug smuggling that has been hit by cartel turf battles .
State prosecutors said a young girl was among the six people killed in the gunfire late Thursday, along with mayoral candidate Lucero López Maza. Two people also were wounded.
"A confrontation broke out between armed civilians during a political campaign event," prosecutors said in a statement.
It was unclear whether López Maza was the intended target of the attack, because shootings have become so common and widespread in the area.
The mass shooting occurred at a crossroads in the rural town of La Concordia, Chiapas, about 80 miles from the border with Guatemala.
The area near the Guatemalan border is a major smuggling route for drugs and migrants, Mexico’s two main drug cartels have been fighting for control of the region.
On Tuesday, 11 people were killed in mass shootings in a village in the township of Chicomuselo, Chiapas, a few dozen miles away from La Concordia.
Chiapas draws tourists with its lush jungle, Indigenous communities and ancient Mayan ruins.
But the border area has been plagued by violence as the rival Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels battle for territory. Just last month, masked men stopped a vehicle carrying Mexico's leading presidential candidate, Claudia Sheinbaum, while she was traveling between campaign stops to ask that she address the violence in Chiapas if she wins the June 2 election.
About 20 Mexican political candidates have been killed so far in 2024 before next month's elections — including one mayoral hopeful who was shot dead last month just as she began campaigning.

DeleteSo tell us BB own AMLO publicist, so far have there been less or more political candidates killed in all of México compared to prior administrations? I've read the number of candidates killed is in the 60 range.
ReplyDelete1135 what's your point?
DeleteShe was one of naivë young peopke who thinking they coula actually change somethin throught politics
ReplyDeleteAzul
You’re not changing anything by being a cartel member.
DeleteThe government in the only powerhouse of Mexico.
Only it can change the course of Mexico.

DeleteIt seems like her father was involved in some way with organized crime
Delete9:01 It seems? Before you post something like that you should have some reliable facts to back it up. How do you know her father was involved in organized crime? Put up or shut up.
Delete12.49 look at el financiero news paper it tells what happened buddy
DeleteOn march 31 they killed her fathers workers 12.01
DeleteNo mames.
Delete@12:49
DeleteHow do you know they don't have information? You did good by asking but your tantrum was unnecessary. Her father's crew had been attacked before and El Financiero reported he maybe part of a group fighting for control of territory. No evidence yet but, as 9:01said by using the word "seems", it's a suspicion.
Sol you reddit famous now.
ReplyDeleteWhen the haters at Reddit start hitting #1 with their video translations year after year they can come talk to me. Till then daddy's living rent free in their minds.
Deleterent free bro if you see cjng fanboy comments please remove as I know you do but thats there dumbass argument
DeleteLooks to be teenagers, very immature no matter how old. Most people are on here because they want to see a better Mexico. Keep haunting their dreams, living rent free in their minds and spanking the mud flaps outta their @ss's on out of the comment section. Sol and all bb staff and contributors past present and future much appreciation and thanks from nc.
DeleteThe only way you get to be a politician in Mexico is if you associate with organized crime, now or in the future but somewhere down the line you will have deal with them that’s the reality of things. In Mexico it’s not what you know but who you know

DeleteIt's fair to say that the next President of Mexico better kiss 💋 ass to organize crime members, or risk getting Plata o plumo.
Plomo, not plumo. Do you even know what that means? And Claudia likely has already received the Plata, lmao.
Delete7:49 True, it’s who you know in Mexico. My sister is a lawyer in Mexico and when shit goes down or needs help with a case she calls people in the “fiscalía”{prosecutor's office} and they do favors and altered paperwork 😆 plus she has a kid with a dude that knows a dude (political)
Delete7:56 President López Obrador assured that the juiciest businesses that were carried out under the protection of public power carried the approval of the presidents.
DeleteThe last time a presidential candidate was murdered was 30 years ago and it's suspected the act was carried out by the standing president at the time, NOT the local cartel... Local government?.. Whole different story...
Delete8:41 grammar police
DeleteKeep in mind the smart spell check has some bug. When I put Michoacan it corrects it to Michigan.
I tested plomo it changed it to plumo.
The told him "plata o puto".
Deleteall political people are in for the money, not to help el pueblo, the thing is they go against some cartel views. Inside a state it may be run by the same cartel, but not all the leaders have the same views, and that's when political clowns get what they asked.
DeleteNight time political rally? What could possibly go wrong? Only in the mornings in Jalisco.
ReplyDeleteLooks like her dad was involved in some shit it’s en el financiero news paper
ReplyDeleteBut but but but ELMO said the Cartels respect the citizens. They don't harm the citizens.
ReplyDeleteLa vailaron
ReplyDeleteELMO:
ReplyDeletePut down that bong and do your job.
Stop complaining and do something
Delete1:40
DeleteI wish ELMO would take your advice because he only complains and doesn't do anything.
Let me remind you of what the current president has done since you claim he only "complains". Captures under AMLO include, El Nini, RCQ, his nephew "El R", Ovidio, el Omega, El Durango, Lupe Tapia and his son, La Vaca, El Marro, Huevo Trevino, El Cazador, El Contador, El Vaquero, Menchos brother El Montana and Menchos wife La Jefa...
DeleteUnder AMLO SeDeNa took charge of all land, air and sea ports of entry. The corrupt Polica federal was disbanded and absorbed by the Guardia Nacional. The 30k personnel were absorbed by the Guardia and an additional 90k GN personnel were hired. By the end of his term there should be close to 600 military stations throughout the country to house the 120k Guardia Nacional personnel.
I dunno economics, but I read somewhere that AMLO has been charging lotsa stuff, a maxed out credit card deal, and a big balloon payment is coming due soon, sometimes after the elections..
Delete6:16 the fukn cayotero is in the house copy and paste again. Common man
DeleteObradors ratings are at 31%, good thing the senile old grampa is leaving office soon. NuffSaid!!!!!!
740 is the fake Nuff said. My comment states the facts. It's not my opinion or something I made up. These are the facts. Sorry the facts make you upset, it is what it is.

Her father is a jalisco plaza boss. He called a meeting with government ppl to tell them that his daughter shld run for office no one cld say no because the meeting at his ranch was loaded with his gunmen. Then she got killed. I bet he regrets that shit now assuming he actually gave a shit about his kid.
ReplyDeleteExactly no la mataron nomas porque si pobrecita los pecados del papá ella los pago
DeleteY también su hermana murió parece
DeleteSo who is her father?
Delete9:34
DeleteYou don't know who her father is?
Neither does her mother!
Normal stuff, remember how many presidents Mexico went through in the first couple years of its independence from Spain?
