“We want to join, we do not come to subtract, we come to add, but we do not come as paleros either, we are not applauders of the government,” said the priest Gregorio López Gerónimo, better known as “Father Goyo”, founder of the civil association The Good Samaritan.
Although they recognized that the government headed by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has made some changes in the national security strategy, they warned that they have not been enough to build the peace that the people of Mexico deserve, since it has not prevented attacks on the civilian population continue.
Thus, the situation of violence that exists in Tierra Caliente is not only through homicides, confrontations and kidnappings on a daily basis, but it has also affected fuel prices and the basic food basket due to extortion, assured the Goyo father.

“Crime has a monopoly on food, on the basic food basket. What is the bean, the corn, the meat, the egg… what’s more, every supplier of inputs is charged, they have to pay a floor. At the exits of the city there are some little tables and a guy there charging, “he assured.
