An urgent call for truth and justice
In the midst of pain and indignation, a relative of the two girls murdered in Badiraguato, Alexa, 7 years old, and Leydi, 11, has denounced that their death was not the product of a crossfire, but rather a direct attack by the armed forces. This statement has raised alarm bells and highlighted the need for an exhaustive and transparent investigation.
The state ombudsman, Óscar Loza Ochoa, has expressed his concern about these statements and has insisted that the expert reports and necropsies must be conclusive, determining the caliber and type of weapons used. “The truth must prevail, regardless of who is responsible,” he stated, underlining the importance of clarifying the facts.
An investigation that cannot wait
Since the events were reported last Tuesday in the mountains of Badiraguato, where in addition to the two deceased minors, six members of their families were injured, the authorities have initiated an ex officio investigation. However, the lack of clear and timely information has generated more doubts than answers.
Claudia Zulema Sánchez Kondo, Attorney General of the State, clarified that, although the jurisdiction is federal, her team has collaborated in the transfer of the bodies and in the autopsies. However, the paucity of public details has left a void that fuels distrust.
“We cannot allow impunity to prevail,” declared a relative of the victims, who demands that the National Human Rights Commission intervene to guarantee an impartial investigation. Meanwhile, social media has become a loudspeaker for the voices of those affected, who insist that their loved ones were the target of a deliberate attack.
Victims and the path to justice
Among the injured are Anabel, Saúl and Gael, a 12-year-old boy, whose identities have been revealed while the others remain confidential. The Secretary of State Health, Cuitláhuac González Galindo, confirmed that four of the injured had gunshot wounds, while two others suffered blows.
Víctor Alonso Medina, another relative of the victims, firmly maintains that there was not a crossfire, but rather a direct attack against the truck in which they were traveling. «This cannot be forgotten,» he insisted, demanding that justice be done for Alexa, Leydi and all those affected.
This case not only reflects the harshness of violence in Mexico, but also the urgency of more effective mechanisms to protect civilians in conflict zones. Transparency and accountability are essential to prevent tragedies like this from happening again.
