By David Agren, OSV News<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(OSV News) \u2014 The Mexican bishops\u2019 conference has condemned the murder of a mayor, who was assassinated after pleading for federal assistance in combating drug cartels \u2014 which extort avocado growers in his municipality in western Michoac\u00e1n state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carlos Manzo, the mayor of Uruapan<\/a>, was shot dead at a candlelighting ceremony for Day of the Dead on Nov. 1. Manzo was shot seven times, according to Mexico\u2019s public security secretary, Omar Garc\u00eda Harfuch, while photos from the event in the town square showed him holding his young son in his arms. Two suspects were arrested in the case, Garc\u00eda Harfuch added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manzo\u2019s slaying \u201cadds to a series of murders of people who have dared to speak out and confront the absence of the rule of law in their communities, businesses and other spaces. Today, it is no longer enough to apprehend the killer: We must resolutely combat the root causes of all these murders,\u201d the bishops\u2019 conference said in a Nov. 2 statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ordinary presence of armed groups, which control the public life of citizens in various regions of the country, is the real crime to be faced: the roadblocks, the dispossession of lands, the constant threats to producers, merchants and rulers reflect a serious weakening of the constitutional order that the governments at the municipal, state and federal levels, are obligated to guarantee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brazen murder sparked outrage in Mexico, where drug cartel violence has plagued<\/a> swaths of the country for nearly two decades. The violence has especially plagued Michoac\u00e1n, which has a long history of marijuana growing. But analysts say that now criminal groups now extort the growers of avocados and limes, illegally log forests and import chemical precursors for synthetic drugs through the port of L\u00e1zaro C\u00e1rdenas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organized crime and political corruption fuel violence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A priest in Michoac\u00e1n described a desperate situation in the state with criminal groups colluding with politicians<\/a> and fighting each other to control lucrative crime territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe people are saying, \u2018Enough, padre,\u201d the priest, who ministers in a conflictive part of Michoac\u00e1n, told OSV News. The priest, who previously lent spiritual support to self-defense groups that formed to fight drug cartels in 2013, asked for anonymity to speak candidly. \u201cBelieve me: We\u2019re just a minute, a moment away from Michoac\u00e1n burning,\u201d the priest said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manzo became known for accompanying police as they patrolled Uruapan. He spoke out against organized crime and urged President Claudia Sheinbaum to take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis country has already slipped out of the president\u2019s control,\u201d Manzo told Mexican media outlet Latinus. \u201cThe country is slipping away from us. Crime has become part of the landscape<\/a>. \u2026 We are facing crime alone. There is no strategy, there is no state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confronting criminal groups can be perilous. Bernardo Bravo, head of a citrus growers\u2019 association in the city of Apatzing\u00e1n, was recently found murdered after he organized a protest by citrus growers tired of paying extortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese crimes wound Mexican society and demand an immediate and coordinated response from the authorities to rebuild peace in Michoac\u00e1n,\u201d said a Nov. 2 statement from the National Dialogue for Peace, an initiative to pacify Mexico, sponsored by the bishops\u2019 conference, the Jesuits and the Conference of Religious Superiors of Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheinbaum condemns murder and points the finger at Calder\u00f3n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sheinbaum<\/a> condemned the killing of Manzo, who previously served in Congress as a member of her ruling Morena party and won the mayor\u2019s office as an independent. She drew controversy on Nov. 3, however, for saying at her morning press conference that violence in Michoac\u00e1n originated with former President Felipe Calder\u00f3n \u2014 who she insisted stole the 2006 election and started cracking down on drug cartels in Michoac\u00e1n to \u201clegitimize\u201d his win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd we have always said it is about addressing the causes and zero impunity, intelligence, investigation and prosecutions,\u201d Sheinbaum said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calder\u00f3n\u2019s crackdown on drug cartels shortly followed his taking office in December 2006. It was preceded by a drug cartel<\/a> known as La Familia Michoacana bursting into a bar in Uruapan and tossing five human heads onto a dance floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manzo\u2019s murder captured international attention and came as U.S. pressure on Mexico to stop the flow of drugs like fentanyl has mounted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe U.S. stands ready to deepen security cooperation with Mexico to wipe out organized crime on both sides of the border<\/a>,\u201d Christopher Landau, deputy secretary of state, said on X. \u201cMay his soul rest in peace and may his memory inspire prompt and effective action.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
