Mainly news. Mexico oriented, but some international.

¿Quién pide sangre y espectáculo en México?, ¿a qué se refiere Aurelio Nuño?: Alcocer

'No vamos a ceder aunque la plaza pública pida sangre y espectáculo ni a saciar el gusto de los articulistas. Serán las instituciones las que nos saquen de la crisis, no las bravuconadas', dijo el Jefe de la Oficina de la Presidencia a 'El País'.

Los gravísimos escándalos de las últimas semanas –la “casa blanca”, la desaparición de los 43 normalistas de Ayotzinapa y la colusión (y omisión) de algunas autoridades, y un largo etcétera— no solo ha provocado que el nivel de desconfianza hacia la clase política y los partidos haya

Ya supérenlo

Bien dicen que para entender el dolor de alguien, es necesario ponerse en su lugar. Pero esa capacidad de empatía no la posee Enrique Peña Nieto.  Tampoco tiene la cualidad cognitiva de percibir lo que otra persona pueda sentir. El Ejecutivo carece de ese sentimiento de participación colectiv

Es comprensible que, al inicio de un sexenio, se tengan dificultades al tomar el timón de un barco tan grande como es México, en particular viniendo de otro de dimensiones más pequeñas pero con un permisividad absoluta: el Estado de México. Pero, tras 24 meses de gobierno, la capacidad de apren

I told them "Don't hit us, we're leaving." but they kept hitting. 

People were shouting "No violence! No violence!" but they kept insulting everyone and pushing.

Great video by AJ+ explaining what’s happening in Mexico. Please take the time to watch it (it’s only 2:30 min) and help spread the word. It’s unfortunate that people don’t know half of the stuff that’s going on.

THIS IS HOW YOU’RE TREATED WHEN YOU ASK FOR JUSTICE IN MEXICO. THIS WON’T BE SHOWN ON T.V.

[original post]

"I don’t care who believes me, because I was there, and I’m reading lies on the news everywhere. I was one of the people present in the human barricades, which where formed at 9 pm in front of the policemen. We didn’t say a word to them, we were just standing there peacefully. Actually, when someone yelled a curse to them, we would tell them not to do that since this was a peaceful protest.

Around 9:15 pm we could only hear one of [the policemen] tell the others ‘finish them’. Then they formed a line and we just stood still in our barrier, when suddenly they dropped their shields and came for us. They started beating and kicking us. My two sisters, who were there with me, were beaten too. Those motherfuckers beat my sisters and other women at the place. When I tried to protect them, I was caught by two policemen who tried to beat me. I managed to release myself from them and take my sisters with me, we ran as far as we could. I could do nothing else but cry out of helplessness, knowing that even though this was a peaceful protest, they were given the order to beat us (even women).

In this moment, I’m still enraged that I couldn’t do anything. I see my sisters’ bruises, and I can’t help but want to kill the ones who did this to them. The thing that enrages me the most is how the news say the main plaza (Zócalo) was evacuated peacefully.

I’m begging you to ask the truth to the people who stayed until the end of the day, so everyone knows THIS WAS NOT PEACEFUL.

We were abused by the police, and I won’t stop spreading this information in every picture related to this, because I want everyone to know the truth.”

—Written on Facebook by Julian Rodrigo Simon, one of the protesters.

This was filmed at the end of the peaceful demonstrations that took place on the 20th of november, where the people gathered at the main plaza in Mexico City were violently and brutally evacuated by the police. Many (innocent) students were arrested and are going to be sent to prison.

Please help us spread this information, we want this to be known worldwide.

WE WANT THE 43 MISSING STUDENTS TO APPEAR ALIVE. 

WE WANT THE REMAININGS OF THE PEOPLE FOUND IN CLANDESTINE BURIALS TO BE IDENTIFIED AND GIVEN TO THEIR FAMILIES.

WE WANT POLITICAL PRISONERS TO BE FREED

WE WANT OUR INCOMPETENT, ILLEGITIMATE PRESIDENT TO QUIT

THE PEOPLE OF MEXICO ARE BEING ROBBED, ABUSED AND SLAUGHTERED BY THE STATE

PLEASE SPREAD THIS LIKE FIRE

La violencia de Estado

¿Qué nos queda cuando el gobierno reprime las protestas y la prensa tradicional esconde la represión tras un discurso de violencia? Nada, no nos queda nada. Porque lo único que denuncia al régimen son las protestas. Son el único golpe de legitimidad que tenemos como ciudadanos para expresar
