The city of Uruapan has approved naming a new vehicular bridge after Carlos Manzo, a former municipal councilor who was assassinated on November 1. This decision was made during a City Council session where the name of the bridge was voted upon and received majority support. The location of the bridge, near a cold storage company, has already earned it the popular nickname 'the ice house bridge'. This initiative reflects the city's desire to commemorate Manzo, whose life was tragically cut short.

Mayor Grecia Quiroz announced the decision via social media, emphasizing the broad support for this naming from both the City Council and the local community. She noted that the independent movement backing the proposal had significant citizen backing, underscoring the public's shared commitment to honor Manzo's legacy. The bridge’s dedication marks an important step in remembering local leaders who have faced violence and represents a way for the community to rally around a collective memory.

This naming initiative also highlights the ongoing issues of violence against public officials in Mexico, serving as a reminder of the dangers they face while serving their communities. By enshrining Carlos Manzo's memory in a public work, Uruapan seeks to foster a sense of solidarity and resilience among its citizens, calling for peace and reflection in the face of a challenging socio-political landscape.
