Likewise, as long as the situation is clarified, were removed from office Rodolfo Montero Arista, director of the UPOE; Gilberto Hernández Villareal, director of State Support Forces and Eduardo Gutiérrez Ruiz, commissioner of the State Police.
The head of the Executive Branch affirmed that the commitment to the Oaxacan population is to have a reliable, trained police force that guarantees the safety of citizens.
What does the video of the police in Oaxaca reveal?
The elements of the Special Operations Police Unit (UPOE) appeared armed in a music video by the corridos tumbados or war singer, Pablo del Ángel, known as ‘El Oaxaco’.
In the video, which circulated on networks such as TikTok and WhatsApp, the officials acted with weapons, patrols and corporation facilities to record the song created by the artist to celebrate the 23rd anniversary of said police institution.
At the beginning of the recording, a legend says that “all the visual elements used in this video are under the authorization of the UPOE”, then an operation is staged set to the sounds of gunshots, and then another text appears that reads: “UPOE always at 100″.
Who is ‘the Oaxaco’?
On the Oaxaco YouTube account there are compositions such as ‘Yo soy Ovidio’, dedicated to the son of Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán and in which he recounts the ‘Culiacanazo’, on October 19, 2019, when The Sinaloa Cartel paralyzed the city of Culiacán due to the Mexican Army operation that tried to stop to his son, Ovidio Guzmán.
Within the repertoire there is also the ‘Corrido de Caro Quintero‘, another drug trafficking boss, and the ‘Corrido de El Oaxaco’, in which the singer says “that he always remains armed and uses it legally to kill people who do not pay attention to speak.”
