When justice seems like a poorly told joke
Almost three months have passed since Rancho Izaguirre became the setting for a script that not even Netflix would dare to produce: missing young people, authorities who are conspicuous by their absence and a search group that, against all odds, continues fighting as if their lives depended on it (spoiler: they do).
Índira Navarro, the leader of the Search Warriors, does not take half measures. In a talk with MURAL, she made it clear that, although the world is already out of fashion on the topic (because, let’s be honest, attention on social networks has the shelf life of a meme), they are still in the trenches. The goal? That the right to the truth is not lost and that the memory of the victims does not end up in oblivion, like those viral tweets that no one remembers two days later.
The authorities: between “there it goes” and “it’s not my fart”
Navarro threw flowers (including thorns) at the FGR and its team specialized in disappearances. According to her, it even restored a little faith in the system. “Yes, like reading that in 2024!”, you will say. But be careful, not everything is hunky dory. The Local Prosecutor’s Office and its deputy prosecutor, Blanca Jacqueline Trujillo, received a mention… not at all honorable. “They wash their hands like Pilate on Good Friday,” summarized the activist, because in the end, the only ones who pay the price are those below: four young experts accused of abuse of authority for following orders. Irony? Total.
And if that were not enough, the issue of protection is conspicuous by its absence. The group asked the National Guard for support for a search near La Barca… and they thanked them with a “no, thank you.” So, while authorities play ostrich, searchers continue to take risks without a safety net. Heroism or institutional negligence? You judge.
“The line is broken by the thinnest”, the saying goes. And in this case, the line is as fragile as the patience of a millennial without coffee. Between collusion, indifference and bureaucratic procedures that would make Kafka cry, the message is clear: if you want justice, be prepared to do it yourself.
