Carácuaro, Michoacán, is a historic place: It was where José María Morelos, exercised his priesthood before joining and becoming a leader of the Mexican War of Independence.
It is sadly today a place where the entire police force of 38 men resigned following threats and ambushes from organized crime, leaving public security provisionally in the hands of the military.
Carácuaro has been run by PRI, and will after the elections be led by a left coalition.
