The brother of the murdered mayor demanded seriousness from Governor Salomón Jara, insisting that the request for protection was real.
During an interview on Azucena Uresti’s program on Grupo Fórmula, he questioned that if his brother, as a municipal official, was not granted security protection, what will happen to the general population.
Family of Joel Bravo demands seriousness from Governor Salomón Jara
The day before, Jorge Romero, national leader of the National Action Party (PAN), revealed with information from the family that Joel Bravo had requested protection from the state government, which was not provided.
However, the governor of Oaxaca, Salomón Jara Cruz, denied the situation and later corrected his statement hours afterward.
Given this, Saúl Bravo called for the case to be addressed, stating that his brother was a man with no personal problems with anyone and that society is fearful due to increasing insecurity in the region.
