Three mantas were discovered today in the municipality of Acuña, the Coahuila state that is adjacent to Del Rio Texas.
The issue as stated in the mnatas surround the appointment by the governor, Rueben Moreira, of Jose Antonio Camp Arredondo to head a newly formed agency yet to be named that will work separately from the municipal police, to police cities such as Piedras Negras.
On its face it sounds an effective move to counter the well-known corruption in narco controlled municipalities, however if the mantas displayed in the early hours of today are to be believed it is as though the fox will be guarding the hen house.
The mantas were placed on 3 bridges, across from a school on Mateos Boulevard, the name of the school is Guadalupe Victoria, and on the Hidalgo bridge as well as the bridge on Emilio Mendoza Cisneros highway.
Mantas bearing the same text appeared in Piedras Negras.
This manta is difficult to translate as phrasing includes sayings that make no sense to English speakers. The lead in sentence means “This person with the innocent face, is far from innocent, and he is the man the governor wants sent to Piedras Negras”, the manta contends the man to lead the new police agency has a corrupt history of wrongdoings.
“This is the person with a face of : I didn’t break the dish, but he breaks more, he is whom the Governor wants to send to Piedras Negras to create leaders of the new police he wants to establish. which has neither a defined name, but one name is this man:
called Jose Antonio Campa Arredondo, alias 'El Campanita'; He was Director of the Municipal preventive police in Cuernavaca, Morelos. "On October 2 last year was fired for links with drug trafficking, because he was subjected to a few tests of confidence in Cuernavaca and he failed”. (usually a polygraph)
