Possibly a few of you know some Mexican history and know that the USA invaded Mexico on at least 3 occasions, one of the invasions occurring in Veracruz in 1914 where the young Tte. José Azueta manned a machine gun to defend the port but was mortally wounded, for which he became immortalized as a patriot and a hero and after whom our municipio is named.

Apparently to honor our municipio's namesake our municipal authorities, without any public consultation, input or notice decided to remove one of the beautiful sculptures representing the artisanal handcrafts of one of the 7 regions of our state of Guerrero and instead placed a new sculpture of Tte. José Azueta manning a machine gun. Its placement aiming the machine gun at tourists arriving on cruise ships from our pier is menacing and mindful of the violence that grips our state. It goes completely against all the silly slogans that appear everywhere declaring Guerrero a place where we are "moved by peace".

We are all thoroughly disgusted by this unannounced and poorly thought out change of statues.

And of course we're all wondering in the private garden of which public functionary does our beautiful and iconic statue now exist?
