Guerrero, México, 14 Dic 2014.- Inebriated Federeal Police officers attacked students from Escuela Normal de Ayotzinapa, who prepared the concert “A light in the darkness,” which was planned in the city of Chilpancingo this afternoon in solidarity with the 43 students disappeared by police forces in Iguala.
There are about 17 people wounded, among them two relatives of the disappeared students, students from Ayotzinapa, teachers from CETEG and UNAM students. Medical attention was denied by the Chilpancingo Red Cross, reason for which they were transferred to other hospitals. Phones, shoes and wallets were taken from them.

The series “An almost universal story” includes 14 narrations from the book “Espejos. Una historia casi universal” by Eduardo Galeano (2008) in the voice of 19 readers from México, Cuba, El Salvador, Honduras, Venezuela, Colombia, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, and Brasil. The right road is our destination…
Since the 26th of September 2014 Mexico looked at itself and the world once again turned to see an unconcealable reality that made itself present in most terrible way. Iguala is the place in which the Mexico of pain and death became unable to evade its own reality, the place that has filled the entire world with indignation, the place in which an open secret became a cry of pain and rage.
43 disappeared students, three murdered students, two young athletes murdered, one murdered woman. All of them murdered and disappeared in Iguala, all of them murdered and disappeared by the State. All of them murdered and disappeared by the pact of impunity of the political class.
Although right now it seems insufficient to speak of impunity because the institutions that should enforce justice not only fail to do so but they protect themselves from their own crimes. In reality we are facing a system that always finds how and who to punish, in an exemplary and spectacular manner (guilty or innocent), in order to maintain intact the great business of corruption and the brutal power structures that keep the entire country submerged in violence.
Registro sonoro del paso de la Caravana por Ayotzinapa en Cuernavaca, Morelos
En su paso por Cuernavaca antes de arribar al centro del país el próximo 20 de noviembre, los padres de estudiantes desaparecidos de la Normal de Ayotzinapa compartieron su rabia, sus palabras y su anhelo de que México encuentre en esta tragedia la luz que le permita primero señalar y luego salir de la barbarie contemporánea. Si Ayotzinapa es el espejo de la sociedad que dejamos que creciera ante nuestros ojos, en estas palabras se desborda la esperanza de trazar un límite ahora sí definitivo: “Ya abrieron los ojos y esperamos que no los vuelvan a cerrar”, auguró un normalista de Ayotzinapa:

Mothers, Fathers, and Family members of our murdered and disappeared brothers in Iguala, Guerrero:
Students of the Escuela Normal[1] “Raúl Isidro Burgos” in Ayotzinapa, Guerrero:
Brothers and Sisters:
We thank you with all our heart for sharing your word with us.
We know that in order to bring us your word directly, without intermediaries or outside interpretations, you had to travel many hours and endure fatigue, hunger, and exhaustion.
We also know that for you this sacrifice is part of the duty that you feel.
It is the duty to not abandon the compañeros disappeared by the bad governments, to not sell them out, to not forget them.
It is because of this duty that you began your struggle, even when no one was paying any attention and the disappeared brothers were being called “amateurs”, “rabble rousers” “future delinquents who deserved what they got,” “agent provocateurs,” radicals,” “hicks,” and “agitators.”
This Saturday, November 15, a press conference took place at the offices of the Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas Human Right Center, with the presence of students from the Isidro Burgos school in Ayotzinapa and relatives of the missing students, who arrived in Chiapas in the “Daniel Solís Gallardo” southern route of the national brigade that is currently visiting several states in the country.
