Mexico: Weekly Newsletter

We hereby share an unofficial translation from the Mexico part of the latest Weekly Newsletter published by Sol Rojo.

Across the country, collectives mothers and families who are searching for their relatives, alongside with democratic-revolutionary organizations and movements, are preparing a series of mobilizations in the main cities to mark the International Day of the Detained-Disappeared, in a context where there are over 130,000 disappearances. In Mexico City, at least two marches are called, one starting from the Ángel de la Independencia and another from the Glorieta de los Desaparecidos, both heading towards the main square. In Chilpancingo, Guerrero, a significant mobilization is planned by students from the Rural Teachers’ School “Raúl Isidro Burgos” of Ayotzinapa. In Oaxaca, a large united march is expected, called by the Current of the People Red Sun, demanding to present Dr. Ernesto Sernas García alive, who has been disappeared since May 10, 2018 by the Mexican State. In the state of Puebla, members of the Zapatista Indigenous Agrarian Movement (MAIZ) have mentioned that it has been 7 years since the disappearance of activist Sergio Rivera in Sierra Negra. Other places are also preparing more actions.

As a democratic organization, we continue to call on workers and the peoples of Anáhuac to participate in this important day demanding truth and justice, demanding to present all the disappeared alive and punishment for the guilty.
