Overview
- Mayor Gustavo Alarcón Herrera sent a written request to federal security chief Omar García Harfuch for a permanent, visible deployment across neighborhoods, communities, and city access points.
- State police removed a banner in Jardines del Sur that warned December celebrations would not be allowed and threatened to burn everything if the Pendón parade or fair proceed.
- The Guerrero state government confirmed the FGE opened an investigation into the intimidating messages, and officials put the seized banner under analysis.
- Fluorescent flyers distributed in areas such as Guerrero 200, Valle Verde, Indeco, and Infonavit announced the start of extortion or “cobro de cuotas” in December and claimed the neighborhoods “have an owner.”
- Chilpancingo’s Consultative Council has already scaled back festivities by shortening the Pendón route, restricting alcohol, and prohibiting bars, jaripeos, and narcocorrido concerts.
