Sad news from Sonora: Nepomuceno Moreno Muñoz was a key activist in the ¡No más sangre! campaign, and a participant in Javier Sicilia's peace movement. Recently, like Sicilia, he met with Felipe Calderón at the Chapultepec castle in Mexico City, where the president received a range of activists critical of the "war" against the drug gang. Many, like Moreno, have simply been demanding to know the whereabouts of their children. Moreno's son has been missing since July 1, 2011, kidnapped in Ciudad Obregón.
Now Nepomuceno Moreno was himself murdered, when an unknown assailant shot him seven times while he was driving in Hermosillo, close to the Universidad de Sonora.
Javier Sicilia blamed the murder on PAN Governor Guillermo Padrés Elías.

Así de fácil: Manuel Espino officially kicked out of the PAN
While it appeared long a foregone conclusion, the Sonora branch of Partido Acción Nacional (PAN) informed that the expulsion of Manuel Espino is a done deal.
Expect him to make a lot of noise the coming months, possibly even as head of an alternative party based in his newly created movement, Volver a Empezar.
The former national PAN president may still appeal the ruling.
