Rosa Icela Rodríguez promises gradual results in the search for the missing

The federal official promises progress in one of the country's most painful challenges, while families cry out for answers.

An oath between tears and hope

In the heart of a wounded nation, where the echo of absences resounds like endless thunder, Rosa Icela Rodríguez, the titanic leader of the Secretariat of the Interior, raised her voice with the solemnity of someone who carries the weight of thousands of lost souls. “The results will come,” he declared, while the fate of countless families hung by a thread as fragile as the justice they promise.

The battle against oblivion

Among the shadows of a system that for years has failed the most vulnerable, the official vowed to coordinate a relentless search, joining forces between local, state and federal governments. “It won’t be easy,” he admitted with the crudeness of someone who knows the abysses of bureaucracy, but his promise burned with the intensity of a lighthouse in the night: “We will do it with your demands and support.”

Rodríguez’s words were not simple consolations. Behind them beat the commitment of President Claudia Sheinbaum, who has woven a legal arsenal against forced disappearance and impunity. The General Law on Disappearances, the Single Identity Platform and the National Alert emerged as weapons in this unequal war, where every second counts and every name lost is a battle.

“We cannot be lazy,” cried the secretary, while the pain of the search collectives seeped into every syllable. He knew that the fruits would arrive “little by little”, perhaps not at the pace that broken hearts longed for, but with a fierce determination: “It is a matter of humanity.”

Justice or the abyss

The call to the prosecutor’s offices resonated like an ultimatum: “They must make access to justice effective.” The National Research Folder Base and the immediate investigations were just the beginning of a path paved with obstacles. The construction of peace, Rodríguez warned, depended on eradicating impunity and strengthening institutions, the same ones that have failed so many times.

In a twist that chilled the blood, the official assured that every word, every plea from the relatives, would be recorded in a record. It was a promise, yes, but also a reminder: the world is watching, and the time for excuses is over.

Will this be the beginning of the end of the nightmare? Only fate knows.

CNDH calls for strengthening the fight against sexual torture in Mexico

Agency warns that extreme sexual violence persists in detention centers.

The National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) called for strengthening actions against sexual torture in Mexico. He considered it one of the most serious forms of violence and discrimination that especially affects people in vulnerable situations.

Call for institutional coordination

During a symposium on the topic, Rosario Piedra Ibarra, president of the CNDH, stressed the need to improve coordination between federal, state and municipal authorities. The objective: to prevent, investigate and punish these events effectively.

The organization recalled that, through the National Mechanism for the Prevention of Torture, it maintains permanent surveillance in centers of deprivation of liberty. Since 2021, it has issued reports with recommendations to improve institutional practices with a gender focus.

Equity of the problem

Representatives of state human rights organizations warned that sexual torture continues to be a current problem. It requires specialized attention, active prevention and mechanisms that avoid impunity to guarantee justice for the victims.

The CNDH pointed out that, although Mexican legislation does not establish different modalities of torture, international instruments such as the Istanbul Protocol recognize it as an especially serious practice. Therefore, it must be combated with specific measures.

He emphasized the importance of addressing this problem from a gender perspective. The victims are, for the most part, people in vulnerable situations. The proposed actions seek not only to punish those responsible, but also to prevent future cases and ensure access to justice.

SCJN: the crimes of the ABC Nursery case do not prescribe

The Court determined that the tragedy in Sonora can be investigated without a time limit.

No expiration date

The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation ruled that the crimes related to the fire at the ABC Daycare do not prescribe. The incident occurred in 2009 in Hermosillo, Sonora, and left 49 girls and boys dead.

The decision was made after analyzing an appeal from Sergio Antonio Salazar Salazar, former director of Economic and Social Benefits of the IMSS. He argued that the charges against him had already become invalid due to the passage of time. The highest court rejected that approach.

The Court noted that imprescriptibility seeks to avoid impunity, clarify the facts and guarantee comprehensive reparation for the victims. It also took into account the special protection that children and adolescents require.

The case will return to the corresponding Collegiate Court, which must apply the new criteria. The resolution opens a new chapter in one of the most sensitive human rights cases in Mexico.

Second round of the T-MEC ends without progress

Without concrete agreements, Mexico and the US are moving towards reviewing the T-MEC.

Conversations without progress

The second round of dialogues prior to the review of the T-MEC concluded without concrete agreements. The meeting was held in Washington, according to the Secretary of Economy, Marcelo Ebrard. The Mexican delegation presented proposals and points of view, but no agreements or additional details were released.

Topics addressed included rules of origin, economic security, agricultural sector and automotive industry. These issues are fundamental to the operation of the trade agreement between Mexico, the United States and Canada.

The formal review of the treaty will begin on July 1 with a virtual trilateral meeting. A third round of negotiations will take place on July 20. Everything occurs in a context of trade tensions, with tariffs imposed by the United States on various products.

Mexico and Canada have expressed interest in maintaining and extending the agreement. However, the doubts raised by US President Donald Trump generate uncertainty about the future of the USMCA.
