Gunmen have killed the female mayor of a town in Mexico just hours after the country celebrated the election of Claudia Sheinbaum as the nation’s first woman president.
Yolanda Sánchez was shot in the town of Cotija, which she had governed since September 2021.
She was the first woman to be elected to the post.
Widespread violence against politicians has overshadowed Mexico’s general election, which saw two women run for the presidency.
Yolanda Sánchez was ambushed by gunmen in the centre of Cotija, Michoacán, on Monday.
Local media say she was shot 19 times and died in hospital shortly after the attack. Her bodyguard was also killed in the gun battle.
This current govt in Mexico is a Narco-government. The newly elected President, Claudia Sheinbaum, who’s nickname is La Calaca(literally 💀). They are connected because it’s the same party.
The mayor that was assassinated, was kidnapped last year and murdered yesterday, is opposition party.
I’m not saying sheinbaum gave the order, but the current and next government is complicit af. They certainly do nothing to stop the narco. At the very least, they turn a blind sure
Skull is Calava in Spanish. Maybe it was just a typo.
Also for people like me who took too long to figure out what that emoji “literally” means.
It’s a kinda slang for skeleton
Hmm OK, thanks for the info. I have trouble because I learned from school and working in kitchens. I speak a weird form of spanish.
So none at all got it
