Morelos/Mexico. Four years after the cowardly murder of Samir Flores Soberanes by the narco-state, who was an opponent of the mega-project of expropriation and death "Proyector Integral Morelos", a race for the life of the people took place today in his memory, in which more than 200 people of different ages and from different regions of the country participated. It is known that the masterminds of his assassination are the three levels of government, but investigations point to only four perpetrators, one of whom is in prison, another murdered, one a fugitive and another unidentified. Given the lack of interest from the Morelos State Attorney General's Office, they are demanding that the case be referred to the Attorney General's Office and that Erik Flores, federal deputy of Morelos, and Cuauhtémoc Blanco, governor of Morelos, be called as witnesses. Justice for Comrade Samir and punishment for the guilty! No to the Morelos Integral project!
