Hundreds of people took to the streets of Morelia, the capital of the western state of Michoacán, to condemn the murder of Carlos Manzo, the mayor of Uruapan, on November 1st.
According to local media, the protesters, dressed in black and white, demanded not only justice but also an end to the violence in the state. Some carried signs calling for the resolution of Manzo’s murder, who was shot to death during a Day of the Dead commemoration.
Following the peaceful protest, an unidentified group entered the Michoacán State Government Palace, leaving its main door partially damaged.

Glad to see someone sharing my thoughts, i am extremely disappointed by their china policies too.
In regards to the corn protests, as someone who works in the industry, i wish there was more finger pointing towards los coyotes, the businesses, individuals that buy and sell grain, they are the worst scum there is and i’ve straight up been robbed by them several times and there is no way to legally attack them either… I am not so sure about the strategy of protesting against the goverment when the coyotes are the closer burglars.
Oh yeah, you are right about the coyotes. If I could summarize the talking points from the protest that I had closeby, it will be like this:
The main demand is to push for $7,200 per ton of corn. There could be better strategies out there to rally the people but so far this one has brought plenty of people to form a mass movement. But yeah… We are in dire need for organizations and the correct agitation.
