Zacatecas mayor pleads with crime gangs to stop killing innocent people
'If you must live recklessly fighting for an incomprehensible cause, please do so at a distance'
Published on Friday, December 10, 2021
A Zacatecas mayor is begging crime gangs to leave innocent citizens alone.
Eleuterio Ramos, the mayor of Valparaíso, directed a public message to criminal groups this week.
“I am a man of law, convinced … that the strength of the institutions of the Mexican state is the best route. I never thought it would be necessary to say it … I’m going to emulate the president of the republic and beg the leaders and members of organized crime groups that they respect the assets, the personal integrity and the lives of Valparaíso residents,” Ramos said.
“If you all have decided to live recklessly, fighting for an incomprehensible cause, permanently risking your life, do so at a distance from the communities and our families,” he continued. “Respect our desire to move forward with work, with effort, promoting values and guaranteeing a harmonious coexistence.”
