Yaqui for Borderland Beat from: Debate y ElSol
Guanajuato- The Red Cross stopped providing service indefinitely in the Mexican city of Salamanca , hit by criminal violence , after an ambulance was attacked by an armed commando on Saturday to take the wounded man, the institution reported Sunday.
On Saturday, paramedics carried an injured man aboard an ambulance when a vehicle blocked their way and armed individuals forced them to open the unit to take the injured man and escape. The assailants nor the abducted and wounded man have not been located.
On Saturday night, an ambulance from the institution was intercepted by an armed group in order to kidnap one wounded by a firearm that was being moved in the ambulance vehicle.
“We ask all citizens to understand, all of us who are volunteers in this noble institution believe in their mission full of a humanitarian spirit that guides us, but at this moment we must take care of our integrity,” the institution said.
In addition, he added that Red Cross volunteers are not “part of any conflict.”
After the announcement, the commissioner of the Analysis and Strategy Unit for Citizen Security of Guanajuato, Sophia Huett, informed that there is permanent coordination with the state delegate of the Red Cross, Guillermo Francio, to safeguard the facilities and provide guarantees to the staff.
For now, paramedics of the Fire Department of Salamanca will attend to the contingencies that arise in this municipality of 273, 271 inhabitants, informed the local authorities.
Salamanca is a strategic municipality since here is the main refinery in central Mexico, where fuel theft , ie huachicoleo, has generated violent disputes between the New Generation Jalisco Cartel and the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel.
With the support of the Navy and the Army, the state authorities stormed the town on March 4 in the town of Santa Rosa de Lima, about 35 kilometers from Salamanca, but failed to arrest José Antonio Yépez, leader of the cartel.
In retaliation, on the morning of March 9, a commando broke into a bar in Salamanca and shot 15 people dead, leaving another five seriously injured.
The massacre occurred a day after the first official visit to Guanajuato by the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, in which he confirmed his decision to fight the theft of fuel, which has caused the state oil company Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) annual losses of 65 billion pesos.
