Good morning. My name is Fernando Ruiz. Today I am in one of the busiest places in the world, Times Square New York, to show you this. I am going to show the world what is really happening in Mexico and especially in my state. Chiapas, Mexico, land of kidnappers. What you see on this banner are human heads in a cooler and what you see there is a dismembered body.
We have a cowardly government that allows its citizens to die. That is the government we have. My father was kidnapped and the government’s response to this is that the area where he was kidnapped is overwhelmed by drug traffickers and they want to avoid confrontations.
And because of this they couldn’t send anyone to look for him. That was the response and that was the result of the Hugs Not Bullets strategy implemented by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. What cowards, what cowards. This is the result. People who are dying that have nothing to do with drug trafficking. Today I make the call because I am not going to remain silent.
I’m going to continue looking for my dad. This is the result of the narco government. It is the result of a narco president. And the only thing he has done is defend criminals and leave the citizens to their fate. And if the government doesn’t do anything, we will. I’m not going to forget my father. Because if the citizens don’t have peace, neither will the government.
