“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
Students from the Centro de Estudios Tecnológicos del Mar (Cetmar) high school in Guaymas, Sonora, simulated a narco execution to ask their classmates to vote for the “Partido Negro”.
In a video posted on social networks, five students can be seen dressed as hired killers and with their faces covered.
Four of them are standing holding what appears to be a broomstick, which they carry as if it were a rifle, while the fifth young man is sitting, handcuffed, with his face covered.
In the background, according to Reforma, the narcocorrido “Mi Terre CLN” by Fuerza Regia can be heard, which alludes to Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán.
“This is just to remind everyone who is going to vote for the Red political party to instead vote for the Black party, you sons of fucking bitches,” expresses one of the students.
Seconds later, they pretend to kill the student sitting in the chair.
According to Reforma, the votes referred to would be in relation to the internal campus elections for the student committee.
So far, neither the high school authorities nor the Ministry of Public Education have commented on the matter.
