Elsa Cobos's campaign kickoff, candidate of Morena for municipal presidency, was marked by the death of a young man who was run over by an official convoy truck accompanying the state party leader, Esteban Ramírez Zepeta.
The incident occurred in the community of Los Juanes, when a gray Suburban without plates, which was part of the convoy, was speeding on a dirt road. Eyewitnesses claim that the vehicle suddenly swerved and hit the young man, whose name has not been disclosed by the authorities yet.
Blood-stained campaign
The most outrageous thing, residents point out, was that no one got out of the vehicle to help the young man. On the contrary, they left the body on the road, leaving the vehicle at the site and then fleeing in other vehicles.
A video shared on social media shows the convoy moving recklessly minutes before the incident. The images have sparked a wave of outrage on social media, where citizens and activists demand justice and criminal responsibility for those involved.
Silence from those responsible
As of the close of this report, neither Ramírez Zepeta nor Elsa Cobos have offered public statements about the incident. The silence from the Morena leadership has only increased social anger and repudiation.
