Luis Alonso García Corrales, candidate of the Sinaloense Party for councilor of Culiacán, was reported as missing yesterday, Saturday, April 13th.
The founder of the Sinaloa Party and candidate for federal deputy in the Coalition “Fuerza y Corazón por México”, Héctor Melesio Cuen Ojeda, mentioned that since 8:00 am (local time) the whereabouts of García Corrales have been unknown.
“His family members have filed a report with the authorities. We would appreciate any information you may have about his whereabouts. We demand that he be returned safe and sound. He is a good, honest, hardworking person who does not deserve, like any Sinaloan, to be deprived of his freedom,” Cuen Ojeda expressed via social media.”
He detailed that the last thing known about the candidate for city councilor was that he and another person were detained by a state police patrol “on Las Torres boulevard, two blocks from Álvaro Obregón avenue.”
The governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, announced yesterday afternoon that the person accompanying the Pas candidate was Juan Francisco Cerón Beltrán.
He argued that because they had not been able to contact or locate them, it was feared that they had been “illegally deprived of their freedom.”
“Facing this fact, as governor of the state, I respectfully request the State Attorney of Sinaloa, the FGR Mexico, the Armed Forces, and the National Guard of Mexico, and I instruct the Secretary of Public Security of the State to implement a search operation in order to find the whereabouts of these individuals as soon as possible,” he stated on his X account.
He stated that he would be “attentive to the results of this operation”. As of this Sunday afternoon, the governor had not given further details through that means.
“In a press conference held today, Héctor Melesio Cuen defined the events as “a purely political issue.”
He pointed out that “Luis was in charge, is in charge of everything that has to do with organization in the Sinaloan Party”.
He explained that “it is an element” of which it is known “that it has a lot of information,” he stated.
“Here in Sinaloa, the state government and the different levels of government have been acting politically, supporting certain candidates. But that does not matter to us. We don’t care about a clean slate at this moment. What we want is for them to appear alive,” he stated.
