A report that arrives with the ‘detailed’ label already attached
Claudia Sheinbaum announced today at the National Palace what her administration describes as a “very detailed report” on the situation of missing persons in the country. The priority, as he explained, will be to show the actions undertaken since October of last year and the legal changes implemented.
“(…) we are going to present a very detailed report on the situation of missing persons in our country,” he said.
The report promises to include national registries, search work and institutional advances. Sheinbaum highlighted the coordination with search groups, state prosecutors’ offices and the National Search Commission.
What is and what is not in the package
The president stressed that the Ministry of the Interior holds regular meetings with family members. He also mentioned collaboration with the office in Mexico of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
A curious fact: the content was previously shared with some groups before its public exhibition. Transparency strategy or early reaction management, you decide.
And here comes the big asterisk. The case of the 43 students from Ayotzinapa will have a separate report.
“The case of the Ayotzinapa students… we are going to address that issue separately, given the special characteristic of this unfortunate event and the work we are also doing with the families,” he stated.
A file so emblematic that it deserves its own folder. The question hanging in the air is simple: how many ‘detailed’ reports are needed before the numbers start going down?
