A rock shattered a newly replaced window, scattering glass across a table inside.
There were no employees inside at the time, but party leaders called the act dangerous and politically motivated. Staff didn’t learn about the damage until they arrived at work, according to Executive Director Leticia Muñoz.
The vandalism occurred less than a year after a firebombing caused significant damage to the headquarters. The attack forced the party to buy new office supplies and fix doors and windows. The incident on Monday renewed concerns about the safety and security of political groups in New Mexico.
The police are looking into the vandalism, but they haven’t found any suspects yet. Barela told people in the area to stop being violent and start having useful conversations.
