As the president herself noted, she did not immediately realize what had happened and only understood the seriousness of the situation after watching the video recording of the incident. Law enforcement authorities detained the man, who was in a state of intoxication.
It is worth noting that earlier in Mexico, the mayor of Uruapan, Carlos Manso, was killed. During a city celebration, unknown assailants opened fire on his convoy, resulting in Manso's death in the hospital. Authorities reported the elimination of one of the attackers and the detention of two others.
Carlos Manso was known for his active stance against drug cartels and had repeatedly appealed to federal authorities for protection. Media reports indicated that he criticized the president's policy in the fight against organized crime.
