“It is not a good message that an alliance with drug trafficking groups is preferred, rather than with the government institutions that direct the destinies of Guerrero,” Morena said in a statement.
“It is not a good sign that representatives of the Church demonstrate in favor of a negotiation, dialogue or meeting with the cells of organized crime that do so much damage to our society and take lives indiscriminately”, mentions the state leadership of this party when leaving in defense of Governor Evelyn Salgado Pineda.
The state executive committee of this political party, chaired by local deputy Jacinto González, describes the declarations of the representatives of the Catholic Church as “irresponsible” and “unfounded”.

“The call is to avoid unnecessary risks that build delicate, perverse and tendentious scenarios, since it should not benefit anyone to incite and promote the control of territories in favor of groups outside the law,” says Morena.
