In Guerrero, a new episode of subjugation of military elements at the hands of armed civilians was recorded last week.
In front of the municipal president of Marquelia, Guerrero, Lincer Casiano Clemente (PRD), hooded subjects threatened the Navy commander in that municipality.
In a video broadcast on social networks, a hooded civilian was seen telling the soldier that he was thinking of tying him up and hanging him on a bridge, but that he would forgive him thanks to the municipal president, whom he defined as his “command.”
“I was thinking of tying you up (tying up)… and hanging you on the bridge, carnal; for the municipal president who is our friend and our command here, we are going to leave it like this and we ask you for respect”, the subject told the Marine element, who limited himself to answering: “let’s go respecting”.
The Secretary of the Navy did not rule on this fact until the closing of this edition.
The events were carried out by members of the Union of Peoples and Organizations of the State of Guerrero (UPOEG), an organization of alleged self-defense groups, who tried to dispossess members of the Navy of their units. The armed civilians held the units with the marines inside them for two hours, until Mayor Casiano Clemente appeared, who was the intermediary.
