Concerning: 14 students from Universidad de Guadalajara disappear

Since 2019, the university community has accumulated unsolved cases while impunity, fear, and institutional silence grow in Mexico.

The University Student Federation (FEU) reported that since 2019 at least 14 students from the University of Guadalajara have disappeared. Several of them remain missing, which probably will never change.

Neither the government of Jalisco nor the prosecutors have offered clear answers.

In recent days, three new cases have raised alarms. Jesús Bryan Huidor, Miguel Alejandro Medina, and Édgar Axel Ríos disappeared between March 27 and April 3. All were minors, students of high schools and technical schools.

A terrified and abandoned student community

The FEU demands immediate actions.
Thousands of students have already received emails with alerts, safety recommendations, and warnings about virtual kidnappings and fake job offers. Because in the face of the State's omission, the students themselves try to protect each other.

They have held demonstrations in front of the Government Palace. They demand the basics: that they be searched for, found, and protected. But the authorities continue to act as if nothing is happening.

The government of Jalisco... absent as always

Enrique Alfaro's administration and its operators limit themselves to issuing statements.
There are no special operations or tangible results.
Impunity remains the state's undeclared policy.

A factor in this chain of negligence is partly because the government finds it convenient that the disappeared do not become dead.

Preventing the number of deaths from rising exponentially. Violence has ceased to be exceptional.

In Jalisco, being young, studying, and going out on the street is already a game of Russian roulette. Meanwhile, officials are vying for candidacies, parents continue to post search notices.

The University resists. The State disappears

The UdeG has done more for its students than the security institutions.
It organizes brigades, disseminates alerts, and demands justice. Meanwhile, the local prosecutor's office seems more interested in covering up figures than solving cases.

The disappearances are no longer news.
They have become routine, statistics, part of the landscape. And that is precisely the most terrifying thing.

The message is brutal:
in Jalisco, you can disappear as a student... and no one will lift a finger.
