”Crime has taken over these territories due to a lack of interest and desire to enforce the law. Now there is a governor with determination and will to protect the people,” he said during a public event.
Before Eduardo Ramírez, the governor was Rutilio Escandón, who was appointed consul of Mexico in Miami after the end of his term. Both are part of Morena.
“Now there is a government and there will be a government because the people of Chiapas support me. Chiapas is my home. We love Chiapas so much that we forgot to be afraid,” said Ramírez, who protested this December.
Over the weekend, Jorge Luis Llaven Abarca, Chiapas prosecutor, said that Rutilio’s government had inherited graves and violence from the current government.
