@guardian: On Wednesday night, hundreds of mothers and relatives of missing people marched to Mexico City Stadium, carrying photos of their loved ones and demanding justice on the eve of the Fifa World Cup opening match. The demonstration was part of a broader wave of protests seeking to capitalize on the global attention surrounding the tournament. Families said the World Cup provides a rare opportunity to bring international attention to a crisis that has devastated communities across Mexico for years. Many carried banners and posters with the faces of missing relatives, hoping visiting fans and journalists would see their demands. Mexico has more than 130,000 people officially registered as missing or disappeared, according to government data. Families have long accused authorities of failing to adequately investigate cases, forcing many relatives to search on their own. Activists argued that while authorities have invested heavily in infrastructure and preparations for the tournament, thousands of disappearance cases remain unsolved. Relatives of the disappeared have increasingly tied their demands to World Cup-related events, saying the tournament's spotlight offers a chance to remind the world that the crisis continues. Organizers said they will keep pressing for answers long after the final whistle. #mexico #protest #fifaworldcup #worldcup

And our president Claudia Sheinbaum says "ahora resulta que estan dolidos por las desapariciones" (Now it results they're upset about the disappearances), the social movements are outside from the stadium, one of them are "las madres buscadoras" (searching mothers) than want to found their sons, daughters, brothers... their family, but the authorities don't help, they take years to take a no place conclusion, ignore it or want money to "accelerate the process", we have at least 130 000 missing persons, the true is than this is a narcogoverment, they take the senates, states like the México City, Sinaloa, Michoacan..., and even the people than should protect us, the national guard and the police, are the same people than snatches away our lives, all the Country is a red flag and the government just makeup the figures saying than "es la oposición" (It is the opposition fault) or "es culpa de (el partido político/presidente anterior)" (It's the fault of the previous political parties/president), and of course, she doesn't blame her own party, we can't go out to work, study or just take the day without feel insecure, and is so hard to feel than we miss a person on our home, México is devastated and tired of this. Other movements joined to this unconformity, the health sector (we haven't medicines, the last project "la megafarmacia" resultes in a lost of millions (than are in hands of the former president, we have the evidence but the contry is so corrupted), we haven't treatments for children or adults with cancer, the doctors haven't the materials to work and everyone are so tired of it. Next the farmers, the latest reforms afect the agricultural sector, now they are not owners from their own lands, they can't use the water for their crops, and the politicians can't understand than a country than don't produce food for their citizens, is a lost land. And the list could go on... (I'm sorry for my bad english, I just want to give visibility to the social media, we are tired of be repressed and this can't hide anymore, we want our family back, health (Someone in my family have cancer and I know the sense of helplessness). And please, This can not be hide anymore!
