Request for forgiveness and culture

President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed to King Felipe VI the importance of Spain complying with the request for an apology to the indigenous peoples of Mexico. “Fortunately, 28 million Mexican men and women recognize themselves as indigenous; 68 languages ​​are spoken in Mexico,” he noted.

The president stressed that the recognition of pre-Hispanic civilizations and the resistance of these peoples are fundamental for national identity. “We said no to racism, classism and any discrimination,” he said. The monarch listened and proposed including the topic at the indigenous peoples’ table during the Ibero-American summit in November in Madrid.

As a result, they agreed to send three exhibitions to Spain: one on Mayan culture, another on Spanish refugees, and one dedicated to Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. Sheinbaum highlighted that the meeting was possible thanks to the king’s previous visit to an exhibition on indigenous women in Madrid, where he recognized “abuses committed during the arrival of the Spanish.”

Both leaders also discussed trade, economics and the United Nations Charter. “It was a very cordial meeting; he’s a very down-to-earth person,” Sheinbaum said. After the dialogue, they visited the mural “The Epic of the Mexican People” by Diego Rivera. The king then left for Guadalajara to attend the Spanish team’s match.

The Veracruz Prosecutor’s Office arrested José N, identified as one of the alleged perpetrators of the kidnapping of journalist Roxana Guzmán, founder of the medium Pulso Informativo del Sureste. The capture was confirmed this Tuesday, although the victim’s family assured that they have not yet received complete official information about the progress of the investigation.

The events of June 2

The attack occurred on June 2 in Nanchital, in the south of the state. An armed group broke into the Guzmán family home during the early hours of the morning. At least four men subdued the family members and also entered the journalist’s brother’s house.

Roxana’s mother, Rubicelia Ramírez, fully identified the detainee in a video released after the kidnapping. “He was at my house,” he declared.

Video that documented the attack

In a 35-second recording, the attackers are seen trying to force entry into a home while a person warns them that there are minors inside. The attackers managed to take Roxana Guzmán, as well as the family’s cell phones, and put her in a vehicle before fleeing.

Witnesses indicated that those responsible falsely stated that the victim would be transferred to a “command office.”

Reactions and expectations of justice

The arrest of José N represents progress in the investigation of the case, which has generated broad solidarity in the journalistic field and society. Roxana Guzmán’s family hopes that the necessary measures will be taken to guarantee the safety of all those involved and that justice will be done.
