MEXICO: More violence in Michoacán

On 2 November the public security ministry (SSP) for Mexico’s Michoacán state confirmed that eleven boys and men were found shot and killed in the state’s Tangamandapio municipality.

Analysis:

With six of the victims between the ages of 15-17, the latest murders are likely to heap further pressure on the federal government led by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to do more to address security – a declared priority for the government given record homicide levels registered in 2020 and 2019.
