Jesuit Marcelo Pérez wanted a haven of peace for Mexico. And they have been killed defending it from Los Altos de Chiapas in Mexico’s southeast. The criminal gangs operating in that state wanted him out of their way. Marcelo Pérez was a parish priest and was involved in the defense of the most vulnerable indigenous communities who are brutally harassed by organized crime. This Jesuit knew that his life had value and, however, he never stopped living with the displaced, the extortionate authorities or the poor of the communities he served.
He was murdered last Sunday in San Cristóbal de las Casas and his body was found inside a truck. This murder joins, in the same week, two other violent murders in Mexico City, an attack on a newspaper in Sinaloa, the murder of a bather in Acapulco, and the burning of the municipal market in that city.
The President of the Republic continues to affirm that no one will be spared and that their murderers, and all crimes committed in Mexico at the hands of drug traffickers and organized crime, will be persecuted and punished. However, Sheinbaum, like his predecessor, preferred to devote himself body and soul to constitutional reforms. López Obrador promised embraces and Sheinbaum promised intelligence. The drug trafficker doesn’t care about anything. The fact that Sheinbaum has just arrived and invented neither drugs nor the war on drugs does not mean she can postpone an issue that is no longer a priority and Mexico’s It has become a condition to stand for it. ,
