Two female lawmakers killed days apart in Mexico following election of first woman president

A local councilwoman was gunned down Friday as she left her home in Mexico, marking the second female politician to be killed after Claudia Sheinbaum became the first woman to win the country's presidency last week.

The Cartel runs Mexico, not any politician or person.

Those tough, brave women went into public service to try to help vulnerable people in their communities and the powers that be in Mexico killed them for it. Rest in peace to these heroines.

The world we live in is not good right now.

Those women were very brave to go up against the Cartel. They had balls!!! The cartel usually gives u a notice of your due date if you dont comply these women chose not to comply and sadly the Cartel followed throuh on their word.

Mexican politicians have some big cajones, I gotta say. Hope their new President has a security detail she can trust 👍🏻

[hotttt]

Women need body guards and these crimes need to be prosecuted!

Build your military and go after the cartel

[WilliamBonney-glqf]

Sheinbaum will either be a casualty of the Cartel or just a puppet for them.

Seems machismo is more important than the peoples vote in Mexico.

[Snuffy]

But the media said things were brighter in Mexico. Surely they wouldn't lie?

[misskitten]

The truth will get out. Even if it does take years it will all be judged.

[dennismorris]

Just goes to show who is really in control in Mexico

Here i thot Mexico didn't have a death

[denisceballos]

Colombia was like this in the 1980’s and early 1990’s. The Medellin Cartel killed a lot of judges, lawyers, policemen, and public servants.

Supply and Demand
The USA DEMANDS DRGS, THEY SUPPLY!
Hey USA address your problem and solve the Cartel Problem!

MEXICO, our biggest American trading Partner.

These women are the epitome of what it means to have the courage of one's convictions. They stood up for their beloved country, and they served with unwavering dignity, honor and unrelenting courage. What an absolute devastating and senseless loss this is. May they rest in peace, and may they never, ever be forgotten.

Mexican Laws have big teeth but sadly no bite😏

[nickcarroll]

[RodRowdy-rrzw]

A jew for Mexican president? That makes no sence.
