Silver or lead may seem exaggerated
but for me it’s the right phrase to
define what is the situation
current journalism in Mexico and in
chihuahua just last year they murdered
to 12 of my colleagues one per month one per
month and until this moment everyone is still in
complete impunity many people
ask why I talk with
people is one of my main
functions of my work and they ask me
why journalists always talk
of death of money or power because
this semantic field is the catharsis of
our profession is the core of
our field and our profession what
most depressing for a journalist is that
I keep silent and silenced him most
depressing and the most perverse thing is that
someone with power is coerced and tells you
what can you say you can do
you can not say one of the things that to
they motivated me to talk was a my
maturity and two some degree of
rebellion and madness that I have always
had as a child one of the things that
The more I worried about myself was knowing what
so much was going to affect my family with what
that I could publish one of the
stronger experiences and how was
where I already mentioned I started
experience what it is that deprive you of
your freedom of expression is when
I decided to leave my house at 19 for
come to live in the city of Chihuahua
and try to be someone in the media
communication for me a person that
has a phone is not my enemy but
yes it represents a competition and about
everything represents someone who can
leave without you all of you
everyone who is sitting here can
take a shock a homicide and with
all tranquility can take their
cellular and start recording put in
self mode and
and report what is happening
I do not criticize this field of journalism
because I dedicate myself to something else like
you have that quality of power
take out your phone many do not have no
I mean, they do not have the ability
but they do not have the patience and the care
to last for months and months running around
official running around
research and being very disciplined
in the methods because to say that you are
Liar is irresponsible because
accuse you of having committed an act
of corruption can be up to a crime
a true true journalist
Ask questions before publishing something
before daring to open his mouth
you need to make sure with sources
reliable that it really is true what
who is going to say my career started in
tvazteca here in chihuahua one of the
companies that taught me the best and
of the bad one a company that was
submitted to power as many
journalists were
in one of the most extreme
haughty and corrupt we have lived in
our present as was the past
here in the state of Chihuahua I need
a very simple example had
journalists who in addition to their income
basic which was about 12 thousand
weights because in addition to not being exposed
they pay very badly many people think that
because I’m on TV I win super good
and I’m going to like Carlos Loret de Mola
eliminate that idea from your head is all
the opposite but good
when we make a parenthesis in this
inclusion in the company I begin to give
realize that there are much more interests
great than me and much bigger than
the people who saw us behind that
company was a man who aspired to
be president of the republic
imagine a 19 year old boy with his
northern accent te and immature well in the
capital of the state bringing out the
acts of corruption of one of the
most powerful men not from the state of
country because if things had not
published because if people had not
raised the voice possibly he right now
I would be holding to be president
of the republic and I do not exaggerate
those were his goals as he started my
research work in Aztec not what
I could develop a lot because I had
young people who were subjected and who were
my friends but also my enemies
because before publishing they were scared or
because they sent me to interview
governors to heads of government and
believe me almost when I came to the
writing were with a rosary in the
hand I do not blame them for that live if you
awarded some responsibility in the
decomposition into social that we are
living but it’s part of the work that
they have developed when I started
to point out acts of corruption what
happened was the following
do not hesitate not even two years because I
had fired was so much the pressure of
advertising agreements that the
government happened to him in the company not
we are talking about 100 thousand pesos
We are talking about almost 30 million
annual weights imagine having in your
portfolio 30 million pesos for
shut up that’s what the voice of
a journalist in Chihuahua and there was
more drastic examples like them
he commented there were colleagues that besides
receive your salary of 12 15 thousand pesos
monthly they received 50 thousand pesos from
government nothing more to keep quiet
obviously when they see someone who
start to raise your voice there
offers but it’s already a matter of
each one decide to be friends with those who
they govern being friends of those who hold
the power or decide to have a granite of
dignity and work for who you are
forced to render accounts to him that is the
people because in the end when
you are on television
you can have producers behind you
they are scrubbing and scrubbing from how you
you see how you comb your hair as you speak
news director who is the one who decides
yes and that are not challenges that you have to
go mocking constantly that’s not what
supported in the company where I
worked they could not stand that a young
had I do not want I do not want to do
this then and say that I was the most
brave but at least I dared and at
least I decided to leave that area
of comfort because I was facing a challenge
very serious staff said
if I speak , I will take away the comfort
my salary my contacts but if I do not speak
happened to this lying hemisphere
perversity and already up delinquent
because there is no greater act of corruption
to know something and shut up that is more
serious many times that commit what then
of this maelstrom of feelings when
they fired me I was in the afternoon in my
department and I decided to publish because I
had fired and what was the answer
that my bosses gave me
request a clear explanation of
why they were leaving me in the street
without a weight and totally alone in one
city where I was barely a year old and
where I did not have real friends
because that is what you discover with the
time and where you are in a
area where loneliness or becomes
your enemy or becomes your best
friend to exploit your true
capabilities was there where on that day
I decided to dedicate myself to journalism
investigation
they are going to say good because this is Jorge
or what do you think is what happens
No, but in Chihuahua, nothing was needed
plus
speak truthfully to excel
come to such banal discussions and so
absurd with my information managers
that they demanded to tell the governor
Mr. Governor, because if I do not
said Mr. Governor, they deducted me from
my salary may seem ridiculous even
me gave me a lot of courage to me
would you call him that but you have good
that they gave in to see me there in my
interviews Mr. Governor because he
he stole so many millions is well well well
friendly
there are people
in the same work that you criticized me
egomania as you are the protagonist as
dies sangrón and other adjectives even more
serious but I did not care you have to
get to a point where the
determination is your best ally after
of this I went to work to a channel and
this is where I want to make a
pointing out that it is research and
which is a simple note where it happened
months without publishing a single report
because I did not have reliable sources the
Once I published my first report it was
of the insecurity of chihuahua and one of
the most critical interviews I’ve
had in my life are going to see her
continuation
I do not have to present it
ready is the city of mexico with more
of 10 points in the state of Chihuahua
it is not incongruous that you go to
speak to the Senate about safety and be
happening this in your city of no
way because chihuahua has clear
security advances only the one that does not
he wants to see he does not see it inks
you destroy your political career
with what happened yesterday in the senate falls in
oil prices at a level
international organizations put at risk the
old energy projects
that we’re going to talk like men if
want an interview let’s go to a
Interview worries about your obligations
economic and distribute these questions
and to attribute those people is a lack
of respect and a reason as I am a
work in me is a part of respect to
your attitude I am at your orders and you
I’m answering what you lend me ok
let’s see let’s chambear because to
that pay us his career is destroyed
policy with what happened yesterday in the
senate because it’s going to destroy me
he asked in no way
otherwise, I am the governor of Chihuahua and
it’s a lie what javier corral there
raised
that I am in a judicial process
it’s not true if I’m in a process
judicial would not be governor of the state
can not be in functions is a
liar the corral senator
now he is a fugitive from justice
governed
good
after very arduous investigations
we discover and publish the contracts
of advertising that they gave to the
media tell them is
30 million to the newspaper that he received
90 million pesos plus budget of the
that have several municipalities in the
saw more budget than areas so
delicate as the control of addictions
and to that extent they arrived after
make several publications I come across
a report that you surely what
they knew they did not get to hear what it is
the problem in ávalos for two
years notified the state government
from that time there were children who
they had up to 45 micrograms per
deciliter of arsenic lead blood and
cadmium in your blood the first impression
that I took away from those children is that when
I was interviewing them
blood from the nose and nobody said anything his
mom alone and my son this happens very
normal they already saw it as an act
ordinary when we publish it
the madness in the government is unleashed
state of that time
and we left published in the guardian the
Washington Post and in various media
international by an act of is
tremendous and extraordinary luck that we
We hit the internet with a request for
information that the director made my boss
current we came across that information
we published it and that’s when we started
also receive several invitations to
that we kindly keep in the drawer
that information and in return the portfolio is
is going to see benefited we do not accept and already
fortunately those children are being
cared for most of them no longer
they live there and now there is a project
of renewal in vases after this
I became a social activist because I came to
a point where I said myself
a lot of information but I do not do anything
more than standing in front of a camera to
talk and publish within activism
social and one of the videos where
I happened to run into a candidate and very
friend of the person we just saw
I’ll go mole it in the shoes
and the following happened
[Music]
It continues to be the same injury this
been approving the debt
they are also damaged in traction
what to do is many times not because he
I tell you the truth, the only thing that is
only if you know it that’s why I
go go see is called
what most people need
because I have the vocation
because I tell them the truth
from that afternoon in front of palace
of government stop calling me gabriel
Now I am the boy
my mom open a lot planning my
name and already my friends tells me the
boy up there all right
What a brave boy, though incredible
but after two days take it, they put me in
jail
and is leaving a store
departmental I see two armed men
and I said it was worth there we see ourselves from this
life they arrested me they take me to the
prosecutor’s office and directly lead me to
cereso and I did not enter with separos where
they commonly carry the newly arrested
they got me with the whole community
prison jail I had the happy and
extraordinary opportunity to sleep with
five strangers in a small room
three by three where the toilet
I was 40 centimeters from me and I did not
I will tell the rest because it is very
early was one of the most experiences
horrible that I have had in my life
when a criminal who committed a
crime implicitly knows that one of
your risks is to stop in jail when
a person tries to get deals with
try to do things well and fight
for his society he never imagines that he’s going
to end up in prison dealing with
kidnappers with rapists who
want to go live is true and that
they offend you, they spit on you and they tell you
thousands of things that are always going to
remain engraved in the mind
believe me that the greatest experience
what was left of all this that happened to
throughout my life and a few years ago it is
that there is no worse prison and there is no worse
cell to be quiet
because it can withstand
be in the cherry tree you can tolerate
insults the grievances the lack of
trust and also make fun of your
family for what you’re doing
but most depressing of a being
human is to remain silent before an act
of injustice is to remain silent when
you are seeing an act of corruption
because they are not stealing your
opportunity because they are not stealing
Only your money is being stolen from you
opportunities your dreams
and your ability to achieve what
so much you long for and have longed for since childhood
because to remain silent is to rob him of life
to the children that we have or that one day
we are going to have many thanks
