Chiapas Prosecutor’s Office finds former police director alive

A hopeful ending after hours of uncertainty. The intensive search culminates with a family reunion.

An End that Fills with Hope

In news that renews faith in institutions and coordinated work, we have an incredible update. Wenceslao Urbina Gutiérrez, former director of the municipal police, along with his two companions, Romelia Martina Guillén Constantino and Gabriel Audelino Hernández Pérez, were found alive and in good condition. After hours of anguish and uncertainty, this is a powerful reminder that hope should never be lost and that every effort counts when it comes to protecting people.

The Power of Coordinated Action

The Attorney General’s Office of the State of Chiapas demonstrated an exemplary response capacity. Immediately after the disappearance was reported, the necessary protocols were activated, opening an investigation folder and deploying a multidisciplinary team of professionals. This group of experts worked tirelessly, not only with the goal of finding them, but also with the mission of guaranteeing their overall well-being when they were rescued. His prompt intervention was crucial to this happy outcome, showing that dedication and expertise can change the course of events.

The commitment was total: verifying their physical condition, making sure there were no injuries and providing the necessary emotional support after such an intense experience. This humane and professional approach is what makes the difference. They are now reunited with their loved ones, surrounded by the love and support they need to begin their recovery process. This family reunion is the most valuable moment in this entire story, a true testimony of resilience.

Details of the Fact and the Exemplary Response

The events date back to last Thursday, between 2:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., when the three people, all from the municipality of Pantelhó, began a trip in a Nissan Centra 2023 vehicle, blue with Chiapas plates DNJ 552F. After his departure, the silence generated an immediate alert among his relatives, who acted promptly to report the situation. The Prosecutor’s Office spared no effort, and on Friday night, in a community whose specific location remains protected, the objective was achieved: they were safe.

The authorities proceeded to present them to the Public Ministry to render their ministerial declaration, a fundamental step to clarify the details of what happened and advance the investigation. It is important to highlight that, beyond the investigation, the most important thing was always his integrity. The team of specialists treated them to confirm that they did not have severe physical injuries or emotional problems, ensuring that their return to normality was as calm and safe as possible.

Although the Prosecutor’s Office has not provided details about the exact circumstances of his disappearance or if there was a request for ransom, what resonates strongly is the positive result. Nor has a direct connection with the recent electoral process in his municipality of origin been specified. Other reports suggest that they could have been held in a Teopisca community, but what we really celebrate is the positive end to this search. This event highlights the importance of citizen collaboration and trust in authorities to resolve critical situations.

This story, which began with concern, culminates with a powerful message about the importance of perseverance, unity and faith in a favorable outcome. It is a call to trust that, even in dark times, there are people working tirelessly for the common good. Every activated protocol, every hour of searching and every gesture of family solidarity were essential pieces in this puzzle that ended with the best of images: the embrace of a reunion.

Semar seizes half a ton of cocaine in Manzanillo

They seize 270 kilos of cocaine in a container in Manzanillo; two migrants detained.

Operational in the port of Manzanillo

The Secretary of the Navy (Semar) secured 268 packages with 270 kilos of cocaine inside a container in the port area of Manzanillo, Colima. During the inspection, they located two men with an irregular immigration status on board the ship where the drugs were found. Both were placed at the disposal of the authorities.

The cargo was discovered by personnel from the Naval Port Protection Unit (UNAPROP) during unloading maneuvers from a container ship. Semar reported that the drugs were left in charge of the Public Ministry to integrate the investigation folder. Elements of the FGR carried out the weighing, counting and identification of the evidence.

Regarding the detainees, the agency indicated that they were in good health. They were transferred to determine their legal status due to their irregular stay in the country, although their nationality was not specified.

The operation was carried out in coordination with the National Customs Agency of Mexico (ANAM), the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC) and the Attorney General’s Office (FGR), through the Criminal Investigation Agency (AIC).

Semar indicated that these actions are part of the permanent inspection, surveillance and port protection operations to prevent illicit trafficking of substances. It should be remembered that a day before, the same agency seized five packages with 139 bricks containing approximately 137 kilos of cocaine in the port of Lázaro Cárdenas, Michoacán, where five people of Ecuadorian nationality were detained.

Trans people take shelter in Segob to demand dialogue with Rosa Icela

Trans activists demand a direct meeting with the Secretary of the Interior after days of protest.

A group of trans and non-binary people held a day of protest this Friday inside the Ministry of the Interior (Segob) to press for a meeting with its head, Rosa Icela Rodríguez. Since Thursday, they remain in a room at the agency, in the Juárez neighborhood, Cuauhtémoc mayor’s office, Mexico City.

They demand concrete advances: a reform of articles 1 and 73 of the Constitution, a Comprehensive Trans Law and public policies in various agencies. Activist Victoria Sámano explained to EL UNIVERSAL that recommendation 42-2024 of the CNDH “has been half fulfilled.”

“They have only been simulation tables, tables to wear us down and they have not even been followed up,” he denounced.

As part of the protest, they held a “dissident sonidero” with the SoniTrans collective, where several couples danced to make their rights visible. They also called for a collection of food, batteries, blankets and presence.

The protest coincides with another CNTE demonstration. Sámano pointed out that they have already spoken with the teachers and criticized the government’s “omission” with different social groups: teachers, searching mothers and trans people.

“It is not about a single group, but about the deficiency and omission of this government,” he stated.

Faced with Segob’s initial refusal to schedule a direct meeting with the secretary, the protesters warned that they will not withdraw until they obtain one. “We’re staying here until they give us a meeting!” they concluded.
