Country’s new president to set out public security plans after murder of Alejandro Arcos Catalán in Chilpancingo
Mexico’s new government has been shaken by the murder of a city mayor who was attacked and beheaded days after taking office.
Photographs of Arcos Catalán’s bloodied head, exhibited on the roof of a white vehicle while his body lay slumped inside, spread on social media – a terrible reminder of the violence that Mexico’s organised crime conflict has inflicted on the Latin American country. The murder sparked anger and disgust, with Alejandro Moreno, the president of Arcos Catalán’s party, the Institutional Revolutionary party , denouncing what he called a grotesque “act of terror”.
But Sheinbaum has promised to continue the so-called “hugs, not bullets” security policy of her predecessor and mentor, the 70-year-old nationalist Andrés Manuel López Obrador, during her six-year term.
