The Mexican candidate for the mayor with four supporters killed at the campaign rally in Veracruz

May 12th (Upi) – A candidate for mayor in the government party of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum was killed with four others last weekend during a campaign rally in the eastern state of Veracruz.

Jaenia Lara Gutierrez, the candidate of the Morena party for the mayor of Texistepec near Mexicos on June 1, was shot at a campaign rally on Sunday, in which four followers were dead and three others.

“No position or no office is worth a person's life,” published the governor of Veracruz, Rocio Nahle Garcia, on X.

Video recordings showed people in an amount that took away with Morena -Party flags when shots could be heard in the background.

“We don't know the motif,” said Sheinbaum, Mexico's first President, on Monday at a press conference at the fatal political event on Sunday.

When convicting the attack, the Morena party of Sheinbaum condemned on Monday afternoon on social media that “we trust that the state authorities with which we maintain constant contact will continue to ensure that impunity will be eliminated.”

On Monday, 62 -year -old Mexican President Mexico confirmed that an investigation “was in coordination with the governor of the State of Veracruz and that we carry out investigations”.

In the meantime, Nahle Garcia said that she did not instruct the Veracruz Attorney General and his security apparatus not to stop until they find “Lara's murderer”.

“We will find those who are responsible for this cowardly murders of the candidate and Morena supporter in Texistepec,” added Nahle Garcia, 61, the first governor of Veracruz and Mexicos Energy Secretary until 2023.

Lara's murder was the youngest in a number of recently violent murders, which are directed against Mexican politicians and candidates, who were largely cited by gang violence associated with the cartels of drug trade.

“The strength of our youth is the vitality that motivates me to go on day by day,” Lara wrote hours before her death.
