Summary

Publisher Annotation: What used to be a state of cultural splendor is now a reflection of Mexico in which we see the hell of impunity and crime. Years ago, Veracruz stopped being a festive locale, instead becoming a state with the most devastating social ills: gas theft, kidnapping, narco-graves, abductions led by police and hitmen, the complicity of politicians and assassins, forced disappearances. In these pages, you will find an account and a denunciation of the damages, a tale of the political and social nightmare that plagues Veracruz and all of Mexico. Guerracruz is an relentless investigation that displays the indifference of governors, ministry agents, municipal presidents, and the police in the face of mothers searching for their children, reports of the disappearance of students, workers, and activists.Violeta Santiago reveals the macabre legacy of Javier Duarte de Ochoa and Miguel Ángel Yunes Linares, with their cynical, sinister politicians; the unpunished murders of hundreds of victims, and the citizens' sorrow in the face of the growing wave of extortion and violent assaults. Interviews with numerous victims, chronicles written with the anguish of not knowing if you'll be the next correspondent to be murdered, political analysis, and hard facts make up this essential book for understanding present-day Mexico; a bold strategy to signal that, despite the civic neglect on the part of the government and authorities, there are still fervent groups, activists, and journalists whose answer to injustice is solidarity, the raising of voices, and giving the names of the missing and the dead in what is possibly the largest hidden grave in the world: Veracruz.
