Mexico's big political turmoil as a consequence of their lack of Rule of Law


There's a lot that has been said about the crisis that Mexico has been going through because of Ayotzinapa. There's so much inconsistency in the ongoing investigation. But the fact is, these kinds of events have been commonplace but the difference is that now we are fed up, not only as individuals but as a society. We are fed up that the Rule of Law has been breached so many times, we have put up with so many crimes, aggressions, violence, that needs to be stopped. 

 We cannot believe how many power a politician can have and what's worse his wife, the kind of impunity is outrageous but the most important fact is the time of response that authorities have given. It has passed almost 2 months since the 43 "normalistas" were kidnapped by authorities and policemen of the state of Iguala, Guerrero. 

The facts are simple as we live in a so called "Narco-Gobierno" that runs so deep that we cannot simply ask for a better government we need to work to achieve that, being a student in Mexico means a threat in some cases to the State, we mean a symbol for rebellion, we mean a problem that needs to be killed in order to not bother to the people that has power.
We do not have an effective juridical system that protect and fight for our bill of rights, we have a State prosecutor - Murillo Karam - that instead of looking exhaustive measures to search for the students and the responsible ones of this atrocious act says “I’m really tired of…”. That’s the same way we feel, we are tired of:

·       Being in a country where the Rule of Law is not strong to protect our dogmatic and constitutional rights.
·         Being afraid of our policemen.
·         Being afraid to raise our voice.
·         Being afraid of this “Narco-Gobierno”
·         Searching for answers that seems that may never come.
·         Searching for those students that were unarmed.
·         Seeking for our women in “Ciudad Juárez”.
·         Seeking for our people that have been lost in the process.
·         Finding more “Narco-Fosas”.
·         Pretending that this doesn’t happen to any of us.
·         Seeing the apathy of other people.
·         Marching through the city in order to ask for justice.

As a last point we are so tired of BEING AFRAID FOR OUR LIFE.

 We share now places, as a human kind, but they miss in those places something really important, they miss 43 students that were our comrades of the “Escuela Normal Isidro Burgos en Iguala, Guerrero”. Today it misses José Enrique Hernández Ramos, son of a worker at Tecnológico de Monterrey, campus Estado de México, today we miss so many souls that should be here, alive, among us. 

The days have passed and we cannot be silenced because if we stay silenced it would mean that all the 43 “normalistas” are really gone that they vanished as their dreams and that WE CANNOT ALLOW because today they live in every one of us, their disappearance as the ones that thousands of people live cannot be unpunished. That’s why we raise our voice and we demand that justice is served for THEM, and to punish all the responsible that were part of this mass murder in order to prevent any other student in this country to suffer as they suffered.

I, Daniela Soriano Gómez urge everyone that reads this message to stop this massacre, to stop all these injustice, to march in favor of life, security, freedom, to march for those souls that cannot be here because we have a homicidal State called Mexico.

Look Up

The video of look up is about how people are among the new technology and how they react in their enviroment. The film, which also includes a brief dramatised segment with a love story that “never happened” because one of the protagonists was looking down at his smartphone, seems to provoke a love-hate reaction for viewers.
It has now been viewed more than 10.8 million times since it was posted on YouTube on 25 April, and has been shared by a number of hugely popular Twitter users including the British tennis player Andy Murray and the American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, who boast more than six million followers between them.
This is the perfect example of how allienated we are.Although I think that technology helps us to make our life easier it damages some aspects of our life.
