The criminal group Los Caballeros Templarios (Knights of Templar) said their goodbyes to the six year President Felipe Calderon of Mexico through narcomantas placed in at least three states.
In Guanajuato, the messages were put on the pedestrian bridges of Apaseo El Grande, Tarandacuao, Uriangato, Coroneo, Acámbaro y Villagrán.
The criminal organization expressed their disagreement against the fight the federal government brought against organized crime.
"Message for Sr. Felipe de Jesus Calderon Hinojosa:
Sr. President we want to tell you through these mantas, since we have only this resource to communicate with each other, that we were never in agreement with the way you treated us. Your intentions might have been good but not the way you did it. However with all the pain and wounds that are still present, we want to tell you that we learned a lot, because at the same time, we, as rebellious countrymen or very heroic ones, we recognize that we also caused damage to PFP (Federal Police), very much deserved. We as countrymen or a brotherhood wanted to respect you, but you never looked our way. In a cool manner it would have been different for Michoacan, if you, with your title and authority, that you showed, if you might have treated your country with love and true justice. Before all and everything we apologize and since we are not going to have you anymore in December as our president, we hope for you, your family, and cabinet that it will go like Vicente Fernandez said (in his song)............................................................... "I wish it will go beautiful for you" --
CTGM-Caballero Templarios Guardia Michoacana "
In Moreilia, Michoacan, the mantas appeared with the same message, seemingly also were circulated by fliers.
