cw: femicide

A week after the femicide of Ingrid Escamilla, 7-year-old Fátima was abducted and murdered in Mexico City; her body was found inside a plastic bag days later

Relatives of the murdered girl said on Monday the government had failed to protect her despite their pleas, while President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador appeared to blame the crime on neo-liberal economics.

Feminist groups in #Mexico protested Friday against the murder of 25-year-old Ingrid Escamilla and the country's high level of #femicides, rallying outside the headquarters of several newspapers’ who published photos of Escamilla's mutilated corpse

The killing of a 7-year-old girl on the southern outskirts of Mexico City has stoked rising anger over the brutal slayings of women, including one found stabbed to death and skinned earlier this month.

An average of 10 women are killed a day in #Mexico, and last year marked a new overall homicide record.

#Italy is negotiating to sell two FREMM frigates to #Egypt for around €1.2 billion ($1.3 billion). News of the deal drew criticism in Italy from politicians who have been concerned over human rights abuses in Egypt. defensenews.com/global/europe/… #FreePatrickZaki
The #Egyptian public prosecutor's office is pursuing a criminal investigation into Patrick Zaki, an Egyptian researcher studying in Italy on charges of spreading fake news nytimes.com/reuters/2020/0… #FreePatrickZaki
Zaki was arrested Feb. 7 when he arrived at #Cairo airport on a visit to see his family. A lawyer for @EIPR where Zaki is also a researcher has said that Zaki denied all charges and that his client had mostly been questioned about his human rights work when he was living in Egypt

You know that stage of writing otherwise known as rearranging your desk aka the dining table so that everything is in place - pens, notebooks, poetry for inspiration - and all that’s now left to do is to actually write so you make tea and find a book to read instead?
Clearly, I am thriving!
So, naturally: I’m flushing out my fountain pens and lining up the ink pots and refilling the pens because, you know, I’m writing!

1. Uno de los más severos problemas de los gobiernos socialistas y/o populistas es su poco o nulo contacto con la realidad. Deja te cuento de algunos episodios en los que López se ha convertido en el perfecto ejemplo de esto.
2. El ejemplo inmediato es el tema de los feminicidios y el asesinato de #Fátima, que se ha vuelto emblemático por las circunstancias en las que fluyó la información. Por supuesto, no es el único. En este momento se calcula que hay alrededor de 5500 niños desaparecidos en México.
3. Pero López se mantiene ajeno a la realidad. Cree, sinceramente, que el uso mediático de esta catástrofe es para golpearlo. Antes de que explotara este asunto en serio, cometió la insensatez de decir que no quería que el tema de los feminicidios opacara la rifa de su avión.

Con una autoridad AÚN MÁS inepta y omisa que la de los sexenios anteriores, y con una orquesta de matraqueros dispuestos a lavarle la cara contra viento y marea, el primer derivado útil que debemos obtener los ciudadanos es que estamos por NUESTRA cuenta.
Ya lo he dicho acá, pero no tengo un pedo en repetirlo: tenemos que cuidarNOS más. Unos a otros. Todo el día (y noche). Todos los días (con sus noches).
#Fátima se quedó SOLA frente a una escuela, a plena luz del día.

Cuántas personas pasaron junto a ella entre que salió a la calle y hasta que no quedó nadie más junto a ella?

Cómo fue que no la notaron? POR QUÉ no la notaron?

1. Va para mis lectores no mexicanos. No me lo van a creer. Ni siquiera los que en Venezuela o Bolivia han sufrido la mierda "bolivariana". Lo que está pasando en este momento en mi país es surrealista, pero en el estilo horrorífico de Quiroga. El tema son los feminicidios.
2. Desde hace unos 12 años, los índices de violencia contra las mujeres (violencia de género) comenzaron a incrementarse de manera alarmante. México, un país con larga tradición machista, se volvió todavía más inseguro de lo que ya era. Pero...
3. Los gobiernos en turno por lo menos trataban de fingir que hacían algo, o que les importaba el tema. Se diseñaron protocolos de "alerta de género"; se hicieron campañas de concientización; se abrieron instituciones para apoyar mujeres que sufrieran violencia. Etcétera.

Ok, this is completely crazy, but it is a real story..trending in #Mexico

The former President of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto, currently outside of his country while under investigation for corruption and money laundering, has been spotted in New York, wearing a disguise
Enrique Peña Nieto and his friend Tania Ruiz were spotted at a restaurant in New York. They were seen dining Asian cuisine and enjoying wine, while wearing "discreet costumes" to avoid recognition by the press.
The stories about former Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto seem to be getting stranger every week.

I can't tell you what's really going on here. I have no idea. But apparently, that's him. I'm quoting the Mexican press here. There's many articles about it today.
