Neither the local vulture, nor the hegemonic hawk, nor the Calderonist war against drug trafficking, nor the past or present mediocre rulers of Michoacán, nor the angelic commentator to the opposition, none of them killed Carlos Manzo.
Here Obradorists and non-Obradoristas agree despite their biases. The killers and orchestrators are young and old of this generation. Criminals whom neither the armed forces, nor the state police, nor the collaboration of intelligence agencies, nor propaganda, nor the Army, nor the National Guard, nor the Navy have arrested.
Grecia Quiroz was received by President Claudia Sheinbaum and with this there is an active, sensibly presidential occupation to care for the widow and those most affected by the definitive absence of Manzo, whose murder is the turning point where the evolution numbers in terms of security are separated from the vulnerability and perception sought by the campaign in favor of peace against unpunished criminals in some regions of the country.
No social opening can be sustained without firm protection against those who confuse empathy with fragility.
Predatory birds are in flight. They are the drug traffickers and their wounded gangs. Vultures and hawks benefit criminal activities against which the deployment of joint and comprehensive strategies with a formidable incorporation of civil society is essential, essential to be promoted with credible and experienced leadership to accompany the national State in Michoacán and throughout the country.
New birds of prey, the young recruited and trained to observe, record and report or get dangerously close. They are the front line of crime. The hitman is not responsible for being under 18 years of age. Whether on a motorcycle, in a stolen car, on foot. In front of everyone.
In June, the Congress of Michoacán received an initiative to classify falconing as a crime, with penalties of three to seven years in prison, aggravated when minors or vulnerable people are used. Hannah Arendt warned: “Radical evil becomes banal when violence becomes craft.”
The challenge is to eradicate the normalization of criminal activities. The real vultures—using Sheinbaum’s reference in his Morning on Monday—are not those who give their opinion without condolence, but rather the criminal operators who seek cannon fodder among the margins of poverty and an identity with the power to offer an impossible salary in the market of inequality.
Positions such as those of the head of Government of CDMX, Clara Brugada, or the members of Conago, with the unanimous condemnation of the “cowardly murder”, show confidence in justice.
The Michoacán Plan for Peace and Justice is a coordinated effort in the face of an immense challenge. Scavengers feed on death; The raptors watch. The angels, inside and outside the workshop, must face them.
