The assassination of Benito Aguas marks a significant escalation in political violence in Mexico, highlighting the ongoing dangers politicians face in various regions.
Local media reported that Aguas was shot multiple times in the mountainous municipality of Zongolica, underscoring the ruthless nature of violence faced by political figures.
The murder of politicians has become alarmingly common in Mexico, with 30 candidates killed ahead of last June's elections reflecting a broader trend of political jeopardy.
The violence has particularly targeted local authorities, with 80% of political violence aimed at the municipal level, revealing a critical area for criminal exploitation.
