A Mexican federal congressman has been assassinated, in the latest killing in an outbreak of political violence in the country.
The Veracruz attorney general’s office confirmed the death of Benito Aguas, a member of the leftist government’s ruling coalition in the 500-member lower house of congress.
Another man was also found dead at the scene, according to the attorney general’s office, adding that an investigation into the suspected murders was ongoing.
Local media reported that Aguas was shot multiple times in the mountainous municipality of Zongolica in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz and died later from his wounds.
This doesn’t seem to be vigilante justice tho. More like the cartels working towards a coup, then a massive fight between the cartel leaders over who will lead/own Mexico.
Yeah, I made another reply where I said I know it’s not 1:1 but it’s a nearby road that leads to pretty much the same destination.
