As the Cher\u00e1n Communal Government maintains, it is rather part of a scenario in which organised crime operates with impunity in different territories of Michoac\u00e1n, threatening and attacking the community political projects that confront it as an obstacle to the concentration of \u00a0economic and political power. Similar abuses that took place in other communities in the Pur\u00e9pecha territory are proof of the same dynamic.<\/p>\n<p>We call on the Mexican state at federal and state level to take responsibility and offer justice and reparation for the attack to Cher\u00e1n K&#8217;eri and the other communities.\u00a0 The Mexicans government can and should respect the rights to self-determination and autonomous security of its local and indigenous communities.\u00a0 Our condolences to the people of Cher\u00e1n for their loss and our renewed solidarity in support of their steadfastness and courageous autonomy.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Paul K.
