# Rodolfo Torre Cantú

> Rodolfo Torre Cantú was a Mexican physician and politician. He held a number of public offices, such as federal deputy, secretary of health of Tamaulipas and director-general of the DIF in Ciudad Victoria. While running for governor of Tamaulipas as the candidate of the PRI, he was assassinated, apparently by agents of a drug cartel. Torre was murdered alongside a Tamaulipas lawmaker, Enrique Blackmore, on 28 June 2010 near Ciudad Victoria, which is approximately three hours south of the U.S. border. President Felipe Calderón promised a full investigation, saying, "the fight against drug cartels must continue". He further stated, "This was an act not only against a candidate of a political party but against democratic institutions, and it requires a united and firm response from all those who work for democracy." Torre's assassination was the "highest-profile case of political violence" in Mexico since the murder of Luis Donaldo Colosio.
