Otro Día ZIHn Lluvia

Which is why I post daily "#MásSeguridadPúblicaMenosCemento".

But PRI governments such as our municipal government are well known for putting their corruption before all else, and behind all the pretty events and lipstick, our current mayor is no different. Case in point: in spite of overwhelming opposition to "remodelling" the Panteón de La Madera, the mayor is OF COURSE going ahead with her plan to pour tons more cement there on top of many of the tombs. A nose-flipping insult to the entire community. Welcome to paradise!

Rob, what are the prospects for the Morena party to gain a foothold in Zihuatanejo and Guerrero? Isn't one of their stated objectives to deal with the lawlessness and corruption?

This is Guerrero. Morena is popular and reigns supreme in the state. But Zihuatanejo is a different kind of fiefdom, like Acapulco is, and the local politicians Morena postulates don't have the money to compete with the corruption they're up against. PRI will buy and coerce many of their votes, especially in the colonias of land thieves they've allowed to take over what is supposed to be our Zona Ecológica above the Cota 70 (70 meter mark). They own the hotel workers', construction and taxi unions. They allow people to get away with dubious nefarious things then call in their marks for elections. It will be very difficult for Morena to postulate a candidate who can win here, but it's possible. This region is a big PRI stronghold in Guerrero, though the PRD won here a couple of times.
