Morena member also disassociates himself from bottle-throwing AMLO

Veracruz.- Jorge Cedillo Guevara, an employee of the state Government Secretariat, distanced himself from throwing a bottle at President Andrés Manuel López Obrador while he was visiting the Benito Juárez House in this port.

The state official and Morena supporter participated in a fight with workers from the Federal Judicial Branch, who were protesting during President López Obrador’s visit to this port. In images, he is seen throwing a plastic bottle.

He said that Morena supporters were the ones attacked by judicial workers.

“When our President arrived, they began to attack not only him, but also the comrades who were there supporting Andrés Manuel. When the President entered, the mob became more aggressive and continued throwing bottles at us, one of which landed on my back. I mistakenly responded with my bottle of Electrolit and threw it back at them.

“It is worth mentioning that when I threw that bottle, the area where the President was located was behind me. In addition, the bottle bounced off an umbrella, not hitting any of the people who were there. I will clarify that. I would never attack the President. I have always been an Obrador supporter, since I was 17 years old, since 2011,” Cedillo said in a message posted on social media.

Today, workers from Circuitos Unidos – Movement of Workers of the Seventh Circuit, from Veracruz, requested the dismissal of Jorge Cedillo Guevara from the Government Secretariat, whom they held responsible for having thrown the bottle at the President.

“We request the immediate dismissal of the person identified on social media as Jorge Cedillo Guevara, an employee of the regional policy department of the General Secretariat of the Government of Veracruz, who acted in a visceral manner, encouraging violence and aggression among all the people present at the event,” the judicial workers accused.
