Ayotzinapa Ten Years Later

Gathering at the Cuauhtémoc monument in Tijuana, activists demand justice for the 43 Ayotzinapa students, emblematic of broader calls for accountability and security measures in the region.

### Commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the Disappearance of 43 Ayotzinapa Students

In remembrance of the 10th anniversary of the forced disappearance of the 43 Ayotzinapa students, around 30 people gathered at the Cuauhtémoc monument roundabout in Tijuana to demand justice. The event, held at 5:30 PM on Thursday, was organized by the Coordinadora Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación (CNTE), the search collective Una Nación Buscando T, the Frente Único de Lucha (FUL), and the Frente Popular Revolucionario (FPR).

### Voices for Justice

“We remind the people what can happen if the state finds your way of thinking inconvenient when you start a process of generating and forming consciousness, which is what our Ayotzinapa brothers were doing 10 years ago,” said Marco Antonio Pacheco Peña, state coordinator of the CNTE.

Pacheco Peña pointed out that in the six years of the outgoing federal administration, there was no justice for the 43 Ayotzinapa students, despite the promises made by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. “Six years of hope for the activists and collectives, hope in the campaign promise to imprison and punish the culprits. There was no such justice for the people, no justice for the parents of the 43, no justice for the students,” he expressed.

Angélica Ramírez, coordinator of Una Nación Buscando T, stated that they continue to seek justice not only for the 43 but for all the disappeared persons whose whereabouts remain unknown. “We have this uncertainty about the truth, which is why mothers and fathers join collectives to search for their children amid the lack of truth,” she added.

Ramírez recalled the beginnings of the mobilizations for the disappeared students and noted that today’s demonstrations also call for justice for all missing persons.

### Persistent Hope

During the demonstration, attendees chanted slogans such as “Alive they took them, alive we want them,” “Child, listen, your mother is in the struggle,” and “Whoever governs, rights must be defended.”

The demand for justice transcends the Ayotzinapa case, as activists and concerned citizens continue to fight for answers and accountability.
