The politician recently made headlines after a photograph of him posing with three cartel leaders went public.<\/p>\n<p>This week, gunmen hung two banners in the town Puente de Ixtla, where they call out Morelos Governor Cuauht\u00e9moc Blanco. The banners went up one day after they allegedly murdered a local mayor. The gunmen take credit for the murder, call out Blanco by name, and suggest future violence. The gunmen also implicate a high-ranking state official named Alejandro Villarreal and ask for an investigation into the murder of a regional boss with Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Banner-Cuauhtemoc-Blanco.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19493194 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Banner-Cuauhtemoc-Blanco.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The controversy surrounding Blanco first started in mid-December after a photograph surfaced where the governor is seen with Irving Eduardo \u201cEl Profe\u201d Solano, a leader with Guerreros Unidos Cartel; Raymundo \u201cEl Ray\u201d Isidro Castro, a leader with Cartel Jalisco New Generation; and Homero \u201cLa Tripa\u201d Figueroa, a leader with the Comando Tlahuicas (regional wing of CJNG).

The circumstances behind the photograph remain unclear since Guerreros Unidos and CJNG are long-time rivals. One of the theories suggests a meeting ultimately did not lead to a truce. The banners threatening Gov. Blanco are attributed to La Tripa.<\/p>\n<p>Gov. Blanco publicly claimed to not be linked to any criminal organization, and that he constantly takes photographs with fans.<\/p>\n<p>Blanco was a professional soccer player from 1992 to 2016 for the Mexican national team and is considered one of the country\u2019s all-time players. In 2016, he became the mayor of Cuernavaca and won his gubernatorial race in 2018.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Note: Breitbart Texas traveled to the Mexican States of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, Nuevo Le\u00f3n, and other areas to recruit citizen journalists willing to risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities.&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/texas\/2015\/02\/15\/breitbart-texas-announces-cartel-chronicles-effort-begins-to-help-citizen-journalists-in-mexico\/\"><em>Breitbart Texas\u2019 Cartel Chronicles<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;are published in both English and in their original&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/texas\/2015\/02\/15\/cronicas-de-carteles-breitbart-texas-un-esfuerzo-por-ayudar-a-los-periodistas-de-ciudadanos-en-mexico\/\"><em>Spanish<\/em><\/a><em>.
