Numerous media sources and corroborating witnesses say that Alfonso Sánchez Garza, the former mayor of Matamoros, was the target of a foiled attack by armed men who he thinks were after his vehicle.
His wife, Silvia Guerra de Sánchez,confirmed the attempt and sid her husband was not hurt.
Her father and Sanchez's father-in-law Jesús Roberto Guerra – another former PRI mayor of Matamoros – also confirmed the kidnap attempt had taken place.
Sanchez posted on social media that he and his wife were driving on Calle Primera when armed men aboard a green Trail Blazer cut them off as they approached the intersection of Avenida Canales and ordered him to stop. He said he slowed down and when one of them was ordering to hang up on his cell phone, he sped off and was able to drive to his home where he sought refuge.

Sanchez, who is said to be the front-runner for the PRI nomination for mayor, criticized current PAN mayor Lety Salazar for the insecure conditions in the city.
Salazar is said to be considering making a run for Tamaulipas mayor.
His contender within the PRI is Erik Silva, another another former PRI mayor. However, Silva has been named in federal indictments in connection with several Mexican nationals involved in organized crime.
Sanchez thanked the messages of support he received through social media. No Matamoros media reported on the attempt, although the Financiero and the El Mañana newspapers of Reynosa and HoraCero online newspapers published the news.
Sanchez occupied the mayor's position between 2010 and 2013.
Salazar also reported in early March that there had also been an attempt on her life when the convoy she was riding in was attacked by armed men in two cars.

"Salazar is said to be considering a run to be Tamaulipas Mayor".
She is the MAYOR of MATAMOROS. She cannot be the mayor of Tamaulipas because Tamaulipas is a STATE.
If you ask any RESPECTED journalist in Matamoros about Erik Silva, they will tell you he is no friend of Leticia Salazar and he is also a showman who likes to get attention any way he can.
That guy, Silva is wanted in the united states gor money laundering
he won't run for governor.
his home in brownsville was seized by the feds
The same home where he lived when he was mayor
