Political Arrest Rocks Amecameca: Man Accuses Morena Coordinator of False Charges

A resident of Amecameca, Mexico, Alejandro Armida Rodríguez, found himself at the center of a controversy when he was arrested on June 1, 2024, and accused of electoral crimes. Rodríguez vehemently denies the accusations, claiming they are a politically motivated attack orchestrated by Daniel Castillo Castillo, the campaign coordinator for the Morena party in Amecameca. "They accused me of distributing campaign materials," Rodríguez stated in an interview. "But I was only transporting supplies for my workplace." Security footage shows Rodríguez being apprehended by several individuals, who reportedly identified him as a political opponent. The incident occurred during the electoral period, adding fuel to Rodríguez’s claims of political targeting. Rodríguez has filed a formal complaint against Castillo and others involved, alleging false testimony and illegal deprivation of liberty. The investigation is ongoing, and the outcome remains uncertain, highlighting concerns about the fairness of the electoral process in Amecameca.
