After eight months
with the emergence of the community guards in Michoacán, the governor, Fausto
Vallejo Figueroa, anticipates that amid the critical situation that occurs
throughout the state, he will finally talk with the leaders of the self-defense
groups that maintain their presence in at least six municipalities in the
state.
This occurs just after
the violent weekend that the state suffered through, with the attempt to uprise
a new self-defense group in the municipality of Apatzingán on Saturday October
26, when about 3,000 demonstrators were attacked in front of the town hall in
the presence of the Mexican Army.
However, since the
emergence of the first armed civil groups in the municipalities of Tepalcatepec
and Buenavista on February 24, the state government not only denied the
existence of the groups, but was also responsible for minimizing the situation
in the region of Tierra Caliente.
