Guanajuato uses a trick to justify denial of custody to Gisela Gaytán

Celaya, Gto. The Secretary of State Government, Jesús Oviedo Herrera, denied that he had received a request for protection for Morena’s candidate for mayor of Celaya, Gisela Gaytán Gutiérrez, murdered in the community of San Miguel Octopan.

Political parties have the protocol to request protection for flag bearers, in which they must specify the conditions, he said. They cannot say that they submitted an application under the protocol we havehe said in a radio interview.

The candidate for senator for Morena Ricardo Sheffield Padilla accused the Electoral Institute of the State of Guanajuato (IEEG) of requesting an impressive and ridiculous amount of documents to arrange security for candidates.

For her part, the president of the IEEG, Brenda Canchola Elizarraraz, assured that the National Electoral Institute (INE) sent her a request from the guinda party to provide security to the flag bearers and that this was channeled to the Government Secretariat.

In two interviews, Jesús Oviedo addressed the topic and agreed that no requests based on protocol. The Government Secretariat and the IEEG delivered the protocol to all parties, he stressed.

There are no requests in accordance with the protocol, by Morenabut on Tuesday they already sent a list of candidates asking for protection, he said.

Oviedo Herrera held a meeting on Tuesday with the leaders of PAN, PRI, PRD, PVEM, PT and Movimiento Ciudadano. Morena did not attend.

“I don’t understand what the reason was for not attending, but I think they should have been there, we are going to comply with inviting them to participate in the meetings and we hope they can participate,” said Jesús Oviedo. The protocol establishes that there must be a complaint and at the meeting it was agreed to provide security, even if the aspiring candidates do not want it, he revealed. The parties will have periodic meetings with the Government Secretariat to analyze the progress of the election day and will manage an emergency telephone number with the municipal governments, explained Oviedo Herrera.

The State Commission for Attention to Victims has already approached Gisela Gaytán’s family to support funeral expenses and to support them in the event of any additional needs, he commented.
