The political landscape in the state of Morelos is in mourning following the assassination of V\u00edctor Manuel Amado de Le\u00f3n, who was a candidate for mayor of Coatl\u00e1n del R\u00edo. The tragic event occurred during the early hours of this Monday in the municipality of Mazatepec, where the politician was shot to death while inside a vehicle.<\/p>\n\n
In the same incident, a passenger sustained gunshot wounds, for which they were rushed to a health center to receive specialized medical assistance. So far, the authorities of the Attorney General’s Office of the State of Morelos have not revealed details regarding possible arrests nor have they offered an official line of investigation.<\/p>\n\n
The crime has generated great consternation, especially due to the history of harassment surrounding Amado de Le\u00f3n. During the 2024 electoral process, the politician was the victim of direct attacks against his home on two occasions, in addition to having received constant threats that were reported by his party, PAZ.<\/p>\n\n
This background information must be considered within the investigations to clarify the homicide and bring those responsible to justice.<\/p>State leadership of the PAZ party<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
Career of V\u00edctor Manuel Amado de Le\u00f3n<\/h2>\n\n
Affectionately known as Vico, Amado de Le\u00f3n was born in 1985 and built a multifaceted career before jumping onto the public scene. His life was marked by two main pillars:<\/p>\n\n\n
- Agricultural sector:<\/strong> He dedicated more than two decades to the planting, distribution, and commercialization of Persian lime, a family business that connected him deeply with the local economy of Coatl\u00e1n del R\u00edo.<\/li>
- Academic background:<\/strong> He graduated with a degree in Pedagogy from the Universidad del Valle de Cuernavaca, a profession he always defended, highlighting the value of teachers in social progress.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n
His foray into politics began formally at the end of 2023, when he announced his pre-candidacy with the firm purpose of working for the well-being of his people. In 2024, he competed for the municipal presidency, initiating a campaign characterized by direct contact with the citizenry and a vision focused on public service, which was cut short by this violent event that is now being investigated by state authorities.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
