There is no reappearance of self-defense groups
These two groups, he added, have made their process public through social networks and in the communities themselves, where what they are defending is the criminal control of the area.

-Correct. Let us remember that in 2013 self-defense groups appeared in which some characters such as Hipólito Mora, such as Dr. (José Manuel) Mireles, became known and who defended themselves precisely from a hegemonic group that dominated the region in which were The Knights Templar and that people are fed up with the government’s null response and have been subjected to homicides, deprivation of liberty, extortion in lemon packaging or in lemon and avocado orchards, including timber and minerals. It was seen everywhere that they had extortion, but today it is very different, the company has a response from the government, the Secretariat of National Defense, the National Guard, the Michoacán police and the prosecutor’s office, we are permanently in this area time.
