A year later, the accounts don’t add up
Omar García Harfuch, the Secretary of Security, gave the figure this Friday morning: 47 people have been detained for the Racho Izaguirre case. One year has passed since those macabre finds in Teuchitlán.
But here comes the interesting thing. Or the worrying thing. It depends on how you see it.
“What has been found is more evidence of a training center”
That’s what García Harfuch said. A ‘training center’. A bureaucratic euphemism that makes your blood run cold when you think about the context. And then he finished with this:
“Let us remember that it was only found, until now there are signs of a person who lost his life and 47 have been detained for this fact”
One victim versus 47 detainees. The official mathematics generates more questions than answers. What kind of ‘center’ was this where so many people were involved?
The eternal ball game
As a good official, García Harfuch passed on the information responsibility. He said that the details should be given by the Attorney General’s Office (FGR), headed by Ernestina Godoy.
Claudia Sheinbaum, the president, chanted the same script: that information corresponds to the FGR.
“We have to wait for the information”
That’s what Sheinbaum declared. Wait. The favorite word of power when it does not want to speak clearly.
The secretary added that there are still outstanding arrest warrants. The case is still open, technically. But after twelve months, families are still waiting for something more concrete than figures and institutional references.
Forty-seven arrests sounds like a lot of police work. But without context, without names, without explaining what exactly those forty-seven were doing on that property… they sound, above all, like a convenient number for an uncomfortable anniversary.
