In the town of Felipe Carrillo Puerto, also known as La Ruana, Michoacán, a joint operation by the National Guard, the Mexican Army, and the state's Civil Guard resulted in the arrest of at least 25 individuals. Among those captured is a man named Antonio Torres, allegedly the leader of an armed civilian group. The operation also led to the seizure of high-caliber firearms, money, and vehicles. The day before, a protest involving individuals from Apatzingán and Buenavista was reported, where they attempted to confront a reorganized self-defense group. The Mexican Army intervened to prevent the confrontation.

¿Super Bowl 2024 sin guacamole?

04 Apr 2024
The article discusses the environmental and social impact of avocado production in the Mexican states of Michoacán and Jalisco, highlighting the deforestation and illegal land use changes associated with avocado orchards. Climate Rights International (CRI) has been actively campaigning against the importation of avocados from uncertified orchards that contribute to environmental damage. Max Shoening, a researcher and lawyer at CRI, has conducted a study revealing that many orchards have been deforested illegally, as there have been no permits for land use change in over two decades. The study implicates several U.S. companies, including Calavo Growers and Fresh Del Monte Produce, which supply avocados to major supermarket chains. The article also mentions a new bipartisan bill in the U.S. Congress aimed at prohibiting imports from illegally deforested lands. CRI is pushing for avocados to be included in this legislation. Additionally, the article touches on the economic impact of avocado exports from Mexico and the lack of action from APEAM, an association responsible for certifying avocado orchards in Mexico.

Omission and abuse of functions, the crimes that are growing in Michoacán

04 Dec 2023
Corruption cases in Michoacán, Mexico, are underreported, but complaints to the State Anti-Corruption System (SEAC) have doubled from 52 to 102 this year. Most complaints are submitted digitally due to fear of reprisals. The main deterrents to reporting are lack of awareness of the reporting process and fear of job loss. The most reported crimes are omission of functions and abuse of power by public officials. The SEAC and the Michoacan Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection Institute (IMAIP) emphasize the need for citizen involvement and education to combat corruption. Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index and the World Justice Project's Rule of Law Index are used to measure corruption globally, with Mexico ranking 126 out of 180 countries.
