With a strict security protocol, changes in the cheer ceremony, as well as a repressed demonstration, the first cheer of Mayor Ramon Guerrero Martinez took place.

Since a few hours before the traditional cry of independence, the main square of this city began to get full of hundreds of spectators of the first ceremony led by Mayor Ramon Guerrero Martinez.

From 9 pm, department directors and special guests entered the building of City Hall, where they were offered a cocktail.

Near the hour, councilors, some directors, military authorities and other special guests waited for the mayor on the antechamber of the presidential balcony.
Among them was the representative of the governor, Andrés González Palomera, who by a change in the protocol, was asked to leave the area where the ceremony would take place. Obeying this, he chose to leave the area with his wife.

Seeing what happened, the councilors Humberto Gómez Arévalo and Susana Carreño urged him not to go, and managed to make him return to his place. Something else that was noteworthy was that other guests of the State Government were denied access and remained in the courtyard of the building, where the cocktail was carried out .

The mayor went out to the balcony around 10:50, immediately rang the bell and omitting the reading of the Declaration of Independence he said: "Mexicans, let us remember the heroes who gave us our country", then he started with the speech of the heroes of Independence.
Meanwhile a group of people who showed a blanket that read the message: Consultation In six months. Are you staying or not?, were obligated by Municipal Police officers to lower it.

Similarly the mayor was questioned about this manifestation and whether he would comply with the campaign pledge of submitting a consultation for his tenure in government, to which he replied: It is a day to celebrate, Viva Mexico.

Following this there was a show of pyrotechnics in the outdoor theater Achilles Cerdan, better known as Los Arcos.

Once Ramón Guerrero ended the ceremony he was asked for the motive for which he had implemented such a strict security protocol, to which he replied that it was coordinated by the 41st Military Zone according to their standards, exonerating himself from the restrictions to the guests who were left without participation in the ceremony.

The Governor of the State of Jalisco, Jorge Aristóteles Sandoval Díaz, attended the first report of activities of the mayor of Zapopan, Héctor Robles Peiro, where he reiterated his commitment to maintain security efforts and metropolitan coordination.

Sandoval Diaz also applauded the efforts of crime prevention that were being made in 29 marginalized colonies of the former Villa Maicera where gang activity has been detected, and spoke of the importance of providing opportunities for the young people of Jalisco, who need opportunities, spaces, education and well-paid jobs to leave behind the figure that indicates that 51 percent of those held in prisons in the state are young people between 18 and 29 years old

In terms of sustainable metropolitan development, the state governor called the mayors of the municipalities of the urban area to work together to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of the capital of Jalisco: "The Metropolitan Area overflowed due to poor planning, saturation of vehicles and the lack of alternative transportation" he recalled, "for which the state government has decisively driven non-motorized mobility, [but] without the participation of the municipalities this effort will be less effective".

Finally he confirmed the support from the State Government to Zapopan, and to all municipalities that contribute to provide welfare to the greatest number of citizens.

Independent candidates will strengthen democracy and citizen participation, us PRI legislators encourage the unity of society, that is why we promote modern constitutional reforms, which are commensurate with the times we are living, "said Rep. Rafael González.

Interviewed after the conclusion of the second special session, Rafa Gonzalez said that last April 18 the House of Representatives approved the Independent Nominations Reform in the Federal Entities, which requires the regulation of the right of every citizen to contend for elected office, in all states of the Republic, through the establishment of rules and requirements to apply for the corresponding records for the elections in all states.

He stressed that citizen participation in democracy is fundamental, which must be real and grounded, for which the independent candidates will encourage greater public citizen activism to consolidate Mexico into a much more solid and fair country.

"We must not forget that all Mexicans are entitled to vote and be voted as part of the political rights recognized both internationally and in the case of Mexico, the possibility of coexistence of parties and independent candidates, is a stage that will give a new twist and a new era will begin to be built, because we must be sure that a citizen and their participation in public life is the essence of democracy", he said.

The Federal Deputy stressed that the American Court of Human Rights considers that political rights are fundamentally important human rights, which are closely related to other rights, including the freedom of expression, assembly and association, which together serve to strengthen democracy and political pluralism.

Rafa Gonzalez, rejected that independent candidates affect political parties "in the PRI we are a party comprised of citizens with ideological principles and a cemented program of action. The participation of society in these candidacies will be a wedge to improve in all orders. The doors are open in the game for everyone, but the idea is to strengthen the democratic system and extend this right to those who are not active in any political party", said the legislator of the Fifth District of Puerto Vallarta.
