Lopez Obrador and the debt of the disappeared in Mexico: "They don't find them because they don't look for them."

Lopez Obrador and the debt of the disappeared in Mexico: "They don't find them because they don't look for them."

On January 11, 2011, armed men dressed as local police officers took Roy Rivera from his home in Nuevo León, in northern Mexico. He was 18 at the time. His mother, Letty Hidalgo, was there and has been searching for him ever since. Roy is one of more than 116,000 people missing in Mexico, the country with the highest number of disappeared people in all of Latin America. Unlike the dictatorships of the Southern Cone, in Mexico, people continue to disappear every day.

This Friday is the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances and President Andrés Manuel López Obrador ends his term leaving a bad taste in the mouths of families and groups. “We thought what he was proposing was real, but we were deluded to believe that he really had a serious intention to put an end to it,” Hidalgo laments.
