Bloody demonstration of power: Mayor of Chilpancingo murdered after days

Chilpancingo, Mexiko - in the Mexican state of Guerrero there was a shocking crime when the operator of the Christkindlmarkt in Chilpancingo was shot during a festivity. Eyewitnesses reported that the attackers opened the fire on the dancing people and killed the organizer and another man. This violent episode occurred in a region that is severely affected by drug crime. Governor Evelyn Salgado was outraged by the "unacceptable deed" and promised that it would not remain unpunished. Guerrero is known for a high murse rate; In the past year alone, 1890 murders were registered there, and since 2006 there have been over 450,000 deaths through the drug crime, such as the The fate of Alejandro Arcos, the new mayor of Chilpancingo, which was brutally murdered only a few days after taking office, is particularly alarming. According to reports, Arcos was beheaded and his head was found on the roof of a car; His body was at the wheel. This cruel deed, which is apparently to be seen as a demonstration of power for the drug cartels, caused great dismay in politics. Salgado condemned the "cowardly crime" and emphasized that people in Guerrero should not live in fear. The mayor vehemently campaigned against the drug crime in his city, but would only have been in office for six days before he became the victim of this brutal violence, such as Srf reported.

The drug mafia demonstrates its shocking power in a region that is characterized by poverty and a lack of state presence. In Guerrero, a strategically important junction for drug trafficking, people are often at the mercy of the criminal gangs. The death of Arcos shows again how the violent spiral in the drug war is becoming faster and faster, while the new Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is about to meet these challenges before the mammoth task. Your impending security measures could prove to be ineffective if you look at the previous failures of your predecessors.
