Ceci Flores denounces attacks and indifference from the federal government amid the crisis of the disappeared
Compartir:
Ceci Flores, leader of the Madres Buscadoras de Sonora, faces a cruel campaign of disinformation and threats in a context of unprecedented humanitarian crisis.
Despite her bravery in the search for the disappeared, the government shows an alarming disinterest, despite its declared commitment to human rights.
Governmental Indifference
More than 110,000 people have disappeared in Mexico and the government's response has been clearly insufficient. Flores has criticized Claudia Sheinbaum's administration for focusing more on her public image than on resolving the disappearance crisis.
Honors, like the Women Leaders Award 2025, are insufficient without concrete actions.
Unfulfilled Promises
Flores reproaches the government for ignoring the requests of searching mothers. She has challenged Sheinbaum for her absence in search days, highlighting the gap between political promises and harsh reality. The administration is accused of "embracing lies and death" instead of fighting against impunity.
Threats and Lack of Security
Flores's work exposes activists to relive their pain and face constant threats. The Protection Mechanism for Human Rights Defenders and Journalists has not provided the necessary security, leaving them vulnerable to reprisals from criminals and authorities.

Demands for Justice
The apparent indifference of the government and the lack of effective results reflect a judicial system that many consider corrupt and incompetent. Flores and her collective not only demand words of comfort or empty promises; they demand concrete actions to end this era of terror and desolation. In a gesture of defiance and determination, Flores has made a direct call: "I propose something: bring him back home to me and I will personally deliver him to the authorities."
This scenario highlights the urgency of significant change in how Mexico handles the disappearance crisis, with a call for the government to take a more active and committed role in ensuring justice and truth for the victims and their families.
Flores remains a symbol of resistance and hope in this prolonged struggle.
