Juchitán.— As part of the 51st anniversary of the Vela de Las Intrépidas, the muxes held a parade through the main streets of the municipality of Juchitán de Zaragoza. During the procession, which includes members of the LGBT+ community from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec region, from different regions of Oaxaca, and from other states of the country, the muxes wore their finest attire. At each celebration, they remember members of their community who have died from illness or who have been murdered, and they demand justice. On this occasion, the parade was escorted by members of the National Guard and other public security corporations, due to the participation in the festivities of textile designer Elvis Guerra, who designed the dress worn by the President of the Republic, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, at the last Independence Day "Grito" commemoration. Elvis Guerra suffered an armed attack, the result of an extortion attempt. This incident prompted President Claudia Sheinbaum's direct intervention in the security crisis facing the municipality, which led to the arrest of the then municipal president, Miguel Sánchez Altamirano, linked to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) through the Los Cromos faction.
