Matamoros, Mexico.- Amid protests from workers in the Judiciary, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador inaugurated this afternoon in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, the bust of the revolutionary Catarino Erasmo Garza Rodríguez, where his remains were placed.
López Obrador said that Garza, who lived in Texas, was ahead of his time, as he was the first to take up arms against Porfirio Díaz with a plan similar to that presented by the former president of Mexico, Francisco I. Madero.
He thanked the Attorney General of the Republic, Alejandro Gertz Manero, for having contributed to the investigation to locate the revolutionary’s remains in Panama. Yesterday, the federal President was received with cries of “dictator, dictator!” by the staff of the Judicial Branch of the Federation in Veracruz.
As the President entered the Casa Juárez in the Port of Veracruz, he managed to avoid a bottle of water that was thrown from the sidewalk where the workers of the Judicial Branch were protesting.
This morning, the president said that the act in Veracruz was because they are angry that there is no more corruption in the country. “Yesterday they threw a bottle of water at me and I started playing baseball, I was a fielder, imagine if I didn’t know… I could have even grabbed it (the bottle), but nothing serious happened. “I understand that they are angry, that they are upset. For this very reason, they would like nothing to change, conservatism comes from conserving, from maintaining the status quo; but that is no longer possible, and their anger will go away,” López Obrador commented in a morning press conference.
