El PRI and the Disappearance of Three Youths
English translation from POLYHYMNIA ROMAN’s Spanish

What will the “new” PRI do with the disgruntled groups organizing themselves to prevent the continued validity of a falsified presidential election?
The people will not simply dissappear, they are seeking justice now. While the media does its job to report the discontentment of millions of citizens, especially young people, the “new” PRI begins to rehash past events that no one agrees with.
Three young people missing in Paracho, Michoacan, sounds the alarm bell because they are not random individuals but are politically active youth prepared and aware of reality, who also belong to the Study Circles Progressive Ideology.
The state and federal governments will end up stalling before they declare that it is a kidnapping. However, this may be a perfect example of PRI practices intended to sow fear among the protesters.
I think about what the mothers, fathers, friends and families of these young people are going through right now. I remember the endless suffering of Rosario Ibarra de Piedra, who never saw her son again. But I also think that that loss forever lit a light in her heart that has enabled many others to define the path of dignity and the pursuit of justice.
Young people are not going to give up so easily or depart from the ideals for which they fight. Each offense, every hurt, with every nail hit on the head they will grow more convinced that this is the time to define the future that they want and deserve.
There’s something I should think those who seek serenity and responsibility to light the fire to burn the crop. Young people are not alone. Parents, peers, family, friends and teachers will not fail to support them. We are not talking about thousands of young rebels but millions of outraged citizens ready and willing to continue to fight this battle.
Diego Antonio Maldonado Castañeda, Ana Belen Sanchez and Luis Enrique Castañeda Nava, wherever they are, know they are not alone. Millions of young people and concerned citizens will not rest until we see them back safe and sound.
