Gunmen have killed the female mayor of a town in Mexico just hours after the country celebrated the election of Claudia Sheinbaum as the nation’s first woman president.
Yolanda Sánchez was shot in the town of Cotija, which she had governed since September 2021.
She was the first woman to be elected to the post.
Widespread violence against politicians has overshadowed Mexico’s general election, which saw two women run for the presidency.
Yolanda Sánchez was ambushed by gunmen in the centre of Cotija, Michoacán, on Monday.
Local media say she was shot 19 times and died in hospital shortly after the attack. Her bodyguard was also killed in the gun battle.
Skull is Calava in Spanish. Maybe it was just a typo.
Also for people like me who took too long to figure out what that emoji “literally” means.
No it isn’t. Calava isn’t a word, you probably meant calavera.
A calaca (Spanish pronunciation: [kaˈlaka], a colloquial Mexican Spanish name for skeleton) is a figure of a skull or skeleton (usually human) commonly used for decoration during the Mexican Day of the Dead festival, although they are made all year round.
And you can say it in fun ways like: " La calaca " Or just get crazy: Laca laca laca laca laca…
Lacaca calaca
It’s a kinda slang for skeleton
Hmm OK, thanks for the info. I have trouble because I learned from school and working in kitchens. I speak a weird form of spanish.
So none at all got it
