In conclusion, she announced that she will defend the population's right to live in peace for the future of the families and in memory of the deceased. Here is her letter: COMPLAINT TO THE STATE GENERAL PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE Today, from the heart, I raise my voice with dignity, with responsibility, and with the firm conviction that justice cannot keep waiting. Today, I act to demand justice for the murder of Carlos Manzo. But I want it to be clear: We are not fighting only for him. We are fighting for every single victim of crime. We are fighting for the mothers who continue to wait for justice. We are fighting for the families that have been hurt by violence. We are fighting for a society where life is valued and the law is respected. Today, we come to demand with absolute clarity: That all lines of investigation be exhausted. All. Without exception. Without privileges. Without protection for anyone. Including, of course, political lines of investigation. Because true justice does not select the guilty, it investigates them. Because true justice does not protect interests, it protects the victims. That is why today I come to publicly denounce those that Carlos always pointed to. Because silence has never been an option. Because impunity will never be the path. This is not a political act. This is an act of dignity. This is an act of memory. This is an act of responsibility to the people. To those who believe that time will erase the truth, we say something very clear: We are not going to let go of this case. We are not going to leave justice alone. We are not going to allow fear to rule. From here we say it loud and clear: In Uruapan, we are not going to give up. We are going to continue demanding truth. We are going to continue demanding justice. And we are going to continue defending our people's right to live in peace. For Carlos. For all the victims. And for the future of our families.
