translated from Spanish: Demands and divisions

FEMINIST REQUIREMENT. Over the past few months we have seen more radicalized feminist mobilizations, which express helplessness and outrage because cruelty, saña, femicides, rapes and sexual assaults against women are on the rise. In Mexico, 10 women are killed every day, and the number of victims of sexual violence and family violence has multiplied across the territory. 
The most palpable expression that social violence is overwhelmed is the cruelty with which it murders women. Ingrid’s case this week shocked the country, and most unworthy is that many of the victims denounced their assailants before they deprived them of life. Some had restraining orders that were never met because public prosecutors and judges minimized the facts and released the assailants.
The breakdown of the social fabric in Mexico is also measured by the cruelty and violence that is practiced against women, and what the victims find is bureaucracy, inefficiency, incapacity and impunity. Of course there are reasons to be outraged, because the flaws in the justice system are serious, and the omissions and misunderstanding of the issue of gender-based violence in the country’s rulers is offensive.
President López Obrador, although he has a cabinet with a large presence of women, has not given him the importance due to the subject; conversely, budgets have been reduced to cater for shelters and eradicate violence against women, there is no gender perspective in many officials, as was recently seen with prosecutor Gertz Manero, who did not understand the reason for the figure of femicide, which which ended up outraged feminist movements.
The increasing violence in the country, with homicides, addictions and up-and-see weapons, as the presence of organized crime and drug gangs grows, impacts greater domestic violence and gender-based violence; In addition, prevention has not been strengthened, and the security strategy has failed, as demonstrated in the criminality statistics of the first year of government. The national guard has not had a favourable impact on the issue of gender-based violence, and all resources and security policy are focused on it. There are no changes, no improvements in security or the chain of justice, and that outrages the victims, and in space women. Or not?
NO FIX. From what we can see, the 2021 election will arrive and Morena will remain divided. There doesn’t seem to be a doorfix. Inland groups, as in the past in the PRD, seem like tribes contesting control and territory. AMLO leaves them, because he has understood that group interests can more than their exhortation to unity. With everyone he is close, and everyone has it with him, but with each other, as in the PRI, with “nails and teeth” they fight the power of the party in government.
There is no meeting point, on the other hand, everything indicates that they will contest the mark, thinking already of the relay of 2021 and 2024. The issue and problem is that several and some of the new authorities have not left the citizens satisfied. AMLO will not go on the ballot in 2021, and while Morena’s power may come to force fully come to legislative respite and change in governments, it will not be as easy as it was for some in 2018. Or not?
