translated from Spanish: Tunnel without End | THE DEBATE

The light at the end of the road is something that, in terms of insecurity, we still do not see. The situation in Sinaloa is very disturbing, not only in the high-impact offences that have been a phenomenon even endemic in Sinaloa, but of the common violence, like the theft of vehicle, assault on passer or house room, even with commerce or the famous Huachicoleo. Extremely alarming is also the apparent calm with which, without generating greater fuss, there are clandestine graves with dozens of corpses in all areas of the state. It is disturbing that as a society we cease to be alarmed by these facts, which in any society would be disturbing. Unfortunately, the calls Narcofosas are a problem of the whole country, but in Sinaloa it seems that a red focus for this phenomenon is the port of Mazatlan, the so-called “jewel of the tourist crown” of the state, which bets to compete for the great tourism, but does not achieve Guarantee — despite bitter swallows of the past — security. The official discourse is that nothing has happened to a tourist, but if things are still left as now, that there seems to be no force that contains the phenomenon, it could be a matter of time. In addition, tourists or not, all as human beings have the right to security, and the State should not make distinction, its obligation is to safeguard the integrity of society in general. The problem of clandestine graves, which, as we said, are all over the state, needs to be taken care of by special units, well financed for the search, exhumation and identification of bodies. It is not possible that apart from not preventing violence, the authorities also do not assume 100% of their obligation to investigate.
