## Resource

A Mexican federal legislator from the ruling Morena party, Zenyazen Escobar, was found dead by gunshot inside his car in Veracruz — with no signs of forced entry. The killing comes amid heightened tensions as Mexico prepares for June 6 elections, where mayors and governors will be chosen. With organized crime historically using violence to manipulate political outcomes, recent reports document at least 30 “political-criminal” incidents across 11 states — including four homicides in Veracruz — underscoring the grave threat to electoral integrity and public safety.
