Tijuana . The blood of Luis Donaldo Colosio Murrieta ultimately founded the violent myth of Tijuana. 30 years later, the border city continues to struggle with that ghost, even if the image of the assassination is increasingly distant and, to remember the presidential candidate, there are no masses gathering around the "stolen dream."
In past election years, the anniversary of Colosio Murrieta's death was the true campaign kickoff for the PRI, an opportunity to flex their muscles, and during the many years of PAN dominance in Baja California, an act of apparent resistance, a reminder that tragedy had occurred during the first state administration of the PAN.
It would be difficult to say when it ceased to be a moment of tricolor communion, but it must be said that since the "eternal soldier of the PRI" changed the colors of his armor to shades of purple, it's no longer the funeral procession he once was capable of organizing. Despite his migration to the Solidarity Encounter Party (PES), today the only wreath at the foot of Colosio's statue reads: "Eng. Jorge Hank Rhon."
Then they would place another, small one, with the PRI initials, eclipsed by the one that was sent very early on by the businessman owner of the Caliente group, scorned by Alito Moreno's PRI three years ago and today by Morena, which ordered the governor from Mexico City to undo the alliance of the governing party with the second political force in the state, Encuentro Solidario , the Hank family's party.
