Irma Camacho García, the new mayor of Temixco, said that she is ready to assume her responsibility despite the risks it involves.
Camacho, 65, says that she never saw that Gisela Mota Ocampo, allegedly killed by members of Los Rojos criminal gang a day after taking office, had any enemies.
“I never felt threatened while campaigning with Mota,” she said.
Camacho is protected by two armed policemen who follow her wherever she goes.
She explained that she will retake the political project of Mota of helping the poor and seeking the community's welfare.
