‘The municipalities are being held hostage’; Adrián LeBarón files terrorism complaints with the FEMDO

Activist Adrián LeBarón filed two complaints of terrorism this Wednesday, November 13, before the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime (FEMDO), due to the violence that plagues the country, and specifically in Guanajuato and Guerrero.

Outside the facilities of the Attorney General’s Office (FGR), LeBarón stated that the events that occurred in Acámbaro and Jerécuaro, in Guanajuato, as well as in Chilpancingo, Guerrero, motivated him to file this complaint.

He stated that the drug cartels have filled large regions of the national territory with terror.

In light of this, he emphasized that there is no right without responsibility, so, fulfilling his civic duty, he presented the complaints.

I am now a responsible citizen and I have experienced it first hand, the matter that I have even told the president: the municipalities in Mexico are kidnapped, an immense majority is kidnapped, the municipalities are kidnapped,” he said.

Adrián LeBarón added that the hard experiences have taught him that the first step is to report, as he did not do in the crime against his family.

“I did not know what to do, I should have filed a complaint as a citizen and left the matter to the family. It weighs on me,” he lamented.

Car bombs are terrorism

Regarding the events that occurred in Guanajuato, he affirmed that they are clear acts of terrorism.

He said that although there are politicians who criticize those who call things by their name, by calling criminal groups terrorists, and he stressed that he will continue in the fight even if they call him a traitor.

We know that in Guanajuato those two car bombs were detonated in front of the SSPC and they do not want to recognize it as an act of terrorism. There are politicians who are already criticizing this idea, for example, what Trump says, making the cartels terrorists, there are politicians in the Senate, in the Chamber of Deputies, they are even calling traitors those who promote the idea that the cartels are terrorists,” he said.

Regarding the situation in Guerrero, he said that “it is clear what the Chilpancingo cartels wanted, they wanted space in the Government and since they were not given it, they killed.”

He also stressed that organized crime groups seek to take control of the municipalities, “the cartels sow terror, the cartels impose themselves.”
