Overview
- The independent deputy, Carlos Bautista Tafolla, posted from San Diego that he established contact with U.S. authorities to support the case of slain former Uruapan mayor Carlos Manzo.
- Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla said the government will speak with Bautista when he returns and emphasized that the state prosecutor’s office reports important advances and stays in touch with Manzo’s family.
- Bautista did not specify which U.S. entity he approached or whether he filed a formal complaint, and he suggested the intellectual author could belong to Morena.
- The deputy framed the outreach as institutional information-sharing rather than a request for military involvement, according to his statements to media.
- Reporting has previously pointed to alleged involvement of the group known as Los Erre and the Álvarez Ayala brothers, including Morena-affiliated Roldán Álvarez Ayala, though those claims remain allegations.
