Scavengers, but of power: Noroña downplayed the crisis of the disappeared

Discovery in Teuchitlán: human remains, personal belongings, and government indifference

The scandal over the disappearance crisis  shook Mexico again after the discovery of  human remains and clandestine crematoriums at the Izaguirre ranch in Teuchitlán, Jalisco.

The search collectives continue to find bodies in the area, while the authorities do what they do best: nothing.

The images of the site reflect the horror of a country without justice, where the corpses  keep appearing in improvised graves and crematoriums.

But instead of acknowledging the magnitude of the crisis,  the government preferred to turn the tragedy into a war of statements.

As expected, Gerardo Fernández Noroña didn't miss the opportunity to defend the indefensible.

Noroña called the criticisms a "vulture campaign" and downplayed the crisis

The president of the Senate, Gerardo Fernández Noroña, accused the opposition of mounting a "vulture campaign"  to hit the federal government with the Teuchitlán case.

According to his logic, denouncing the existence of extermination centers  is political opportunism, but ignoring them is "legislative work."

The victims and their families continue to demand justice, but Noroña seems more concerned with protecting the government's image than solving the crisis.

For the senator,  the real problem isn't the uncontrolled violence, but that people dare to point it out.

His speech follows the official line:  organized crime isn't the problem, but the media that report it.

Ricardo Anaya ridiculed Noroña and exposed the magnitude of the crisis

The PAN coordinator in the Senate, Ricardo Anaya, didn't take long to respond to Noroña's ramblings.

He said that  "vulture-like is not siding with the victims and downplaying the Teuchitlán case."

Anaya reminded that  50% of disappearances in Mexico have occurred in the last two six-year terms, figures that ridicule any attempt at official defense.

The numbers don't lie: while the federal government insists that homicides have decreased, disappearances have increased exponentially.

Meanwhile, the Morena senator  tries to hide the crisis, the search collectives continue to find bodies across the country, amid the government's absolute neglect.

But for the government,  the priority remains the narrative, not the reality.

The government continues to prioritize propaganda over reality

Mexico's problem  isn't the opposition or the complaints, but the silence and indifference of the government in the face of the humanitarian crisis.

Every time a new clandestine grave appears, the official script repeats without changes:

• Minimize the findings and divert the conversation.
• Blame the opposition, the media, or the "right."
• Accuse the victims of making noise "for political purposes."

The federal government  has normalized the crisis of the disappeared, trying to camouflage it with empty speeches and recycled promises.

The Teuchitlán case is just  one more in a long list of horrors that the government refuses to combat.

While  Noroña plays the regime's defender, the crisis of the disappeared continues to grow without anyone in power doing anything about it.

The search collectives  continue doing the work of the Prosecutor's Office, unearthing bodies that the government doesn't want to find.

While the government fights in the Senate, Mexico has become a huge cemetery without justice.

The federal government seems to have found its solution to the crisis: if they keep ignoring the problem, maybe it will disappear on its own.
