An area of influence used as a dumping ground for corpses was revealed in Zapotlanejo, part of the metropolitan area of Guadalajara, Ixhuatlán del Río, and Tepatitlán. During that period, federal authorities found alarming similarities in disappearances, while Governor Alfaro, with presidential aspirations, took no action.
The case, known to state and municipal authorities, became evident with the rescue of several kidnapped individuals at the Izaguirre ranch six months ago. The dismissal of the national commissioner for the Search for Missing Persons by former President López Obrador generated controversy by refusing to modify the methodology to reduce the number of disappearances.
Teuchitlán became a breaking point, exposing the precarious situation. The Searching Mothers of Jalisco and Searching Warriors of Jalisco played a crucial role by following up on reports ignored by state and federal governments. The exposed scandal revealed a cruel and terrifying reality, confronting the authorities and their omissions.
The discovery in Teuchitlán, with its extermination field and crematoriums, shocked the nation by showcasing the brutality of organized crime. Investigations revealed the existence of makeshift structures used in acts of barbarity. Society, accustomed to violence, felt a spark of hope by rising up against impunity.
The shared responsibility among different governmental entities was exposed. The complicit silence regarding the disappearances in Jalisco, represented by Teuchitlán, demands urgent actions. It is imperative that the authorities assume their role, preventing more tragedies from remaining unpunished in a country marked by violence and corruption.
