Residents protest for feminicide in State of Mexico

Over 2,000 people joined the funeral procession of Nancy Cristóbal Ramos, a local resident who went missing last November 17 in Temascalcingo, State of Mexico, and who is believed to have been kidnapped.

Residents marched as from noon today, along with family and friends of the late dentist, to express their full rejection of the crime with signs that read “Touching one of us is touching all of us”, “Justice!” and “Not a single more one of us” while they walked through the main streets of Temascalcingo, a neighboring municipality of the state of Michoacán.

Protesters demanded mayor Rigoberto del Mazo Garduño to have surveillance cameras installed in the municipality, as well as to provide local families with sound security programs that included to have the municipal police department properly equipped and trained for such purpose.

“This is not the first kidnapping that has taken place in our municipality… this is not a day for celebration, today Temascalcingo is grieving and mourning”, on of the residents said, as he also detailed how most of the people in his municipality refrained from participating in the traditional sports parade and cultural activities programmed in the occasion of the 106th Anniversary of the Mexican Revolution.
