(en) wsm.ie: Solidarity against the Terrorist Narco-State of Mexico from Dublin, Ireland by Mary Murphy

On Saturday, 24 September, LASC and the Mexico-Ireland Solidarity Collective organised a
vigil at the Mexican embassy to remember and to call for justice for the 43 missing
students of Ayotzinapa and the thousands more like them who have been disappeared in
Mexico. ---- Over a year ago, on the night of 26 September 2014, a group of student
teachers in the Mexican state of Guerrero were ambushed by municipal police as they
travelled in a convoy of buses through the city of Iguala. Five people, including two
students, were killed when the officers opened fire on the buses, and another student was
later found dead, his body showing signs of horrific torture. Forty-three other students
simply disappeared without trace. The students' disappearance unleashed a wave of public
outrage fuelled equally by the attack itself and by the narco-corruption which has enabled
drug gangs to infiltrate local governments and police forces across Mexico.
RAGE AND SOLIDARITY AGAINST A TERRORIST NARCO-STATE
To mark the two year anniversary of the disappearances, protests were held across Mexico
and the world to support the parents and relatives of the disappeared of Ayotzinapa.
The Zapatista National Liberation Army denounced the behavior of the Mexican government of
Enrique Peña Nieto for "rewarding" people strongly suspected of perpetuating impunity in
the case of the 43 forcibly disappeared students from the Ayotzinapa teachers college.
"(The) cynicism and perversion of the political class (...) not only continues to pretend
to search for the missing comrades, but instead, with the growing evidence showing the
guilt of the terrorist narco-state, rewards those responsible for lying and trying to
distort the truth even more," read the statement by the EZLN, referring to Tomas Zeron, a
state investigator who resigned for tampering with evidence and was subsequently promoted.
The WSM participated in a well-attended demonstration at the Mexican embassy organised by
the Latin American Solidarity Collective. The short ceremony included a roll call for the
43, a poem, and the tying of red ribbons to the embassy fence. Our messages of solidarity
will be taken to the parents, relatives and friends of the disappeared. The struggle for
justice for Mexico's disappeared continues.
