Nothing is a coincidence

To intimidate. 

We reiterate once again the objective of President López Obrador to those who question him. Yesterday morning's mention of me perhaps comes from questioning in my column in El Universal published last Thursday, the lack of a gender perspective in the security plan for the recovery of Acapulco. 

Why, Chairman, don't you go deeper into this subject?

Why not better talk from this space, which sometimes seems to be the only thing on your agenda, about how the Armed Forces are thinking, besides installing 38 barracks in the area and sending 250 elements to each one of them, about preventing the increase of gender violence, characteristic after the military entry and occupation, as many reports from civil society organizations cite? Why is the emergency already over? I cited one in my opinion article, from Mexico United Against Delinquency: "The militarization of public security: impeding the construction of a safer and peaceful Mexico", which shows that the elements of the Navy and Defense act in a more violent and arbitrary way compared to the police, in which women suffer more from these abuses.
