The deputy of the Congress of Morelos, Gabriela Marin, has been assassinated in an armed attack in the municipality of Cuernavaca, Mexico, according to the State Commission of Public Security of the Mexican State.

A gunman riding a motorcycle gunned down the local deputy of the Progresa Party, when she was in the parking lot of a pharmacy located next to Poder Legislativo Avenue.

Governor Cuauhtémoc Blanco lamented the murder and condemned “the cowardly murder of local deputy Gabriela Marín. The security operation has been deployed in order to find those responsible. In Morelos we are not going to allow attacks that harm our society. We are with relatives and friends of the legislator,” he wrote on his social networks.
