Kidnapping

Fear, suffer, pain, psychological trauma….. These are some of the consequences of suffering a kidnap.

This crime has been increasing in our country through the recent times.

Kidnapping is being considered now a big business to the offenders, that’s why Mexico takes the second place in the number of kidnapping! Just before Colombia.

We know that kidnapping is not new, but in the last years this topic has been of very importance in the country and that maintain alert to millions of Mexicans. This make that Mexico have been seen from other countries a kidnapping country.

Kidnapping is one of the most frequent crimes that atent to the dignity and psychology of a person and as I already said is causing a lot of controversy in the recent times. Why people want to seize over a person? Or why they illegally enclose that person and require a rescue?

These are some questions that I make myself when I hear that a person has been kidnapped. I know that they do it for money or things like that, but I don’t think that kidnapping a person is necessary.

From the 51 kidnappings occurred this year 7 have been “self-kidnapping” y they have recorded 49 persons from the 12 gangs, but also they have send to the judges 50 cases without a prisoner. From the 51 kidnappings the 60% has been declared, but not only are the kidnappings but also the assaults that impact directly to the people.

All what is happening about kidnappings make people move to different cities away from their family and friends.170 families of 290 that search for a relative kidnapped run away form the country, because they are scared of hat can happened later. Fernando Ocegueda Flores, the secretary of “Asociacion Ciudadana contra la impunidad”, said the week per week is increasing the rate of people disappearing.

The government should take more rigorous measures for the cases of kidnapping. This goes against the dignity of each person. People have the right for being free and to live with their family, and kidnapping not only affect the person kidnapped but also their entire family. The family feel anguish and after that they can’t feel secure in the place were they live that’s why families are moving of country. Kidnapping is a problem that is affecting everyone and is increasing; needs to be stopped!

Sadness ooor Shame, or BOTH?

Scene, Show in Camara de Diputados in MEXICO... congressmen came with a "piñata" of Pinocho, who ressembles Cesar Nava-leader of PAN.

Last week, because of the conflicts between PRI-PAN-PRD and the Secretary of State, caused by the dios to make and do not make alliances in Mexico State. This dios were make in secret but then everybody knew about it, so scandals appear. All the show that recently, we are living in certain politics in Mexico, occurred. Some said that PAN is the guilty one, others that PRI, and others that the Secretary. What is to worry about is that we are watching many things that affect the image of Mexico, not only in politics; but also, in the social and economic aspects. Even more sad is that we are watching on TV and in news, that our politicians and representatives; do not seem to be that, they seem to be actors or showmen, that only make shows, conflicts, and shame events. For example, what happen last week, in March; when some Congressmen (against Cesar Nava) came to the Chamber with a "piñata" of Pinocho, that was to be Cesar Nava. Pinocho because it is said he is a lier because he said that he didn't sign a dio with PRI and the Secretary of State, and so on...

We don't know if he was a lier or not, it doesn't matter... may be he is, may be not. What is important and I don't know if sadness or shame; is that in a Congress; where representatives and politicians are suppused to make laws in order to help and improve the country and its people, are taking "piñatas" and making conflicts. Instead of working they are making "shows" that are really embarrassing for us, the people.

This is an event that affects the politic life of Mexico, as it affects, too; the Social Life of it. It damages our international image. Politicians fighting just for because or for power, it's not good for our people and our lives...
