ANTECEDENT
As reported, for almost three months, families searching for their missing loved ones held an ongoing dialogue in which they made the decision to walk together. On March 21, more than 50 groups made it known.
The intention was to announce their demands to the Mexican State and call on society to join their fight.
“We have been suffering for years; the institutions have managed the pain of families and none of the three different governments we have lived through have been able to answer the question: where are our relatives? We feel the abandonment of the State to respond to this situation, which is a true national emergency.”
That is why they decided to put aside their differences and particular identities to return to the origin of their struggle which is, with or without the State, to look for their daughters, sons, wives, husbands, sisters, brothers.
“So far we have organized 250 groups and we continue to call on those who have not joined to join. Together we have more opportunity to build the peace with justice that we so long for.”
