“The united people will never be defeated.  El Abuelo is not a person, El Abuelo is a people, El Abuelo is the idea that it is possible to live without cartels.”
 Video recorded after the confrontation with the Jalisco cartel below.

In the video, footage recorded by a drone, dozens of trucks and community members  gathered at the entrance of the town, moments after the shooting that yesterday left 9 dead and 11 injured. The CJNG convoy consisted of 6 trucks.

(Lyrics) “El Cambio” – Noel Torres – YouTube
Today we are going to fight for our people,
because the brave thing that makes me proud
I am a Michoacano
I already hung my weapon,
and today I have become a community …
A people of hope and good people,
and in all good things, we all know
that there is evil,
we go through “El Cambio”  [change]
because we are tired of all this …
Today we are going to fight for the rights
we deserve .
Because even the government makes us blind.
But to motivate us came our leader,
called “El Abuelo”… [The grandfather]
The united people will not be defeated
Here we have plenty of reasons  to reveal ourselves
We are not violent but we will fight until we are free …
Already tired of injustice
we rise up in arms.  
and pray we are in a revolution.
Ready to give our lives
for the people and the family.
For the cause we will fight with honor…
Pray for those who died.
That in life they gave–
while they defended their land and their homeland
with their heads held high,
fighting for the entire race …
We are not going to give up our weapons to our government– to be honest
there is no longer  trust, they did not respond to  us, they did not support us
when they were needed …
Again, we fight for the future
and we are sure
that sooner or later calm will come
but for now we invite everyone
to join the cause …
The united people will not be defeated
again I tell them there are
plenty of reasons to reveal,
and here we will continue to not give up until we are free …
With our heads very high
and our weapons under our arms,
we are going to make our voice heard
by the Michoacan people,
we go “Los Comunitarios”

hoping that tomorrow will be better …
