They assassinate 53 politicians in 6 months of electoral process in Mexico, according to consultant | Video | CNN

Rubén Salazar Vázquez, director of the communication and risk management consultancy Etellekt, reported that in the first six months of Mexico's electoral process there have been 203 attacks against political persons, including 53 murders. Giving a preview of the second report of political violence in Mexico of the 2020-2021 electoral process, Salazar Vázquez told CNN that 66 officials without partisan militancy or political aspiration in Mexico have been assassinated from September 2020 to the end of February. The Mexican states where the most aggressions against politicians have been recorded are Veracruz, Guerrero, Oaxaca, the State of Mexico and Morelos. The Government of Mexico presented this Thursday data on attacks against politicians and a plan to protect them. However, for the director of Etellekt, the numbers presented by the authorities are imprecise and do not have a real map of the areas of greatest risk for politicians. CNN has tried to contact the Government of Mexico to find out its position, but has not received a response.
