Mayor's Partner Killed in Mexico Violence

Mayor Grecia Quiroz travels through Uruapan in heavily armed vehicles, accompanied by 60 bodyguards. This security detail follows the murder of her partner, Carlos Alberto Manzo, during the Day of the Dead celebrations nearly a year ago.

Manzo was recognized for his efforts to combat cartels, earning him a reputation as a determined leader in a region plagued by organized crime and political corruption.

Despite his death, Quiroz has taken over leadership and pledged to continue Manzo's work against criminal groups. However, she expresses concern about the safety of her family and the future of her city.

Quiroz acknowledges that no one can replace Manzo's role in the fight against cartels. The city remains under threat from criminal activity and political instability.
