Identified: Deputy shot body found Zenathin Escobar
Mexican authorities have found the body of a congressman belonging to the ruling Morena party in the state of Veracruz, with at least one gunshot wound inside his car. This occurred less than a year before the scheduled local and federal elections set for June 2026. Congressman Zenathin Escobar, who represented the coastal state home to oil complexes, died under unclear circumstances, as there were no signs of violence on the vehicle. An investigation is ongoing to determine the motives behind the incident, amid concerns that political violence linked to organized crime may threaten the upcoming electoral process. This is especially worrying given the increasing criminal activities targeting political figures and intimidation of voters across the country.
