Relatives of Yaretzi Alejandra protest: demand to expedite search

Yaretzi Alejandra González Arenas, 14, disappeared on October 21, a week ago, in the town of San Agustín, municipality of Ecatepec, in the State of Mexico. He never came back from school. Her mother and other relatives have been searching for her ever since.
“I have not seen my daughter for eight days, I took her to school, she came out and spoke to me to tell me that she was going home, but she did not arrive. I was left waiting. My daughter goes to high school 259 in San Agustín,” Rosario Arenas, Yaretzi Alejandra’s mother, said Friday. 
At the San Agustín Public Ministry agency, the teenager’s family filed the report in the early hours of October 22. There, officials told Yaretzi Alejandra’s mother that “she had surely left with the boyfriend” and to wait. However, the student’s phone no longer answers. 

After a week, the investigations are very slow, Rosario Arenas charged. The mother said authorities haven’t even reviewed security video cameras. 
“I have already filed the corresponding complaint, but they are going very slowly. They are not speeding up my procedures. Help me locate it. My little girl was wearing the school uniform, which is king blue,” he said Friday. 

“Until we find you!” and “We are looking for you!” are some of the phrases that are read on the posters of the demonstrators. The mother of the young woman accuses that in the MP they told her that Yaretzi Alejandra “went with the boyfriend”. 📷 @ShareniiGuzman pic.twitter.com/4NMBgmliKG

To exert pressure and expedite the investigation and search, the family of Yaretzi Alejandra closed this morning the Mexico-Pachuca highway, in the direction of CDMX, for just over an hour and a half. 
Personnel from the Office of the Prosecutor for Missing Persons of the State of Mexico arrived at the site to provide care. Officials pledged to continue the search, as long as protesters removed the blockade.
