"By coincidence, by the work and grace of Divine Providence, I got off and returned from a tour in the rural area of ​​the municipality, responding to the invitation that a friend made me to go see the Canelo fight," Guillermo Valencia tells CNN Reyes, a PRI candidate for mayor of Morelia, in the Mexican state of Michoacán. The politician tells what happened on the night of May 8, minutes before armed people fired at his campaign truck.
