Hello
on Monday, January 18, 2010
Miguel office and I thought it was going to be
like any other lunnis up
routine and you want to check emails
electronic talk with the director
general how the news of the end of
week they would impact on the next
edition of the weekly zeta
but the administrative procedures but
on Monday , January 18, 2010 was the day
in which for the first time formally I
I found out that someone wanted to kill me
not just me two companions
more to the general editor we will do them or
castro codirector césar rené white
past one o’clock in the afternoon when
they communicate a call was an official
of the state department of the
U.S
he told me he had to provide a
information that he considered to be
important that I could not do much
but he gave it to me so that I will take
the relevant decisions
we live a border that is very
dynamics with united states
we live a binational life many
very rich senses in a
commercial issue in the matter
academic even politics but
also this border this location
geographical north of mexico the south
of the united states showed a serious
problem that is drug trafficking the
drug cartels use our
border to cross the drug of mexico
towards the united states the main
country of drug use and
the united states makes here to cross
illicit money and weapons
In that sense, he told me
official of the united states
the anti-narcotics and federal agencies
of research they had done were
making an inquiry about the
drug cartels in this border
Mexican and American
and they had the opportunity to
intervene the phones of some
cartel members arellano felix and
they crossed into the United States
listening to these recordings were given
account that a lieutenant of this
poster gave the order to his armed wing to
his group of assassins that I
murdered and murdered my
I was alone in my office
my first thought was of annoyance
What fan of these people do not let us
do our work
the second one was in frustration how
can live in a country with so much
impunity in a country where there is no
minimal conditions for the
exercise of the press freedom of
expression of thought
How can it be possible that
criminals in their impunity threaten us
to us and threaten journalists
and threatened to launch society that
when they kill a journalist loses
information becomes a little bit more
deaf a little more mute a little bit
more I was already really upset
I was thinking that I was in that
office at the mass in the same as
they work the last 23 years
four years ago in 2006 when
Don Jesus Blancornelas the founder of
newspaper knew that he was going to die
he left us bequeathed his weekly in a
codirection to his son Caesar and his
servant and us when we take the
Newspaper
we wanted to make a change we made it
you’ll notice that there was a change in the
address
We knew that the editorial line of
newspaper was not going to change and we’re going to
continue doing journalism
investigation
we made physical changes changes that
give certainty inside the
weekly our colleagues and that
give a note of freshness if the
outside also one of them were
we modeled the newspaper
we expand offices we throw some
we change completely in the facade
by the end of the work I left my
office
the same one that he occupied for 23 years
in one of those occasions it happened don
jesus blancornelas to greet us on the way
does health therapy and observes all
the changes that we are making I do not know
where is your office is doing
there we go up the stairs is the first
left side office
immediately and it was all crumble to
it was there falling walls there was
the last one we start to conclude in nothing
in the removal of zeta
He told me I want to ask you a favor
lilita
I want your desk do not put it
here is a window of my office not
I want a little more in front of the window
I was surprised because I did not
I had the case where I put my
desk I think I did for loas and
transversal atalanta not because Jesus
because here I did not have francisco javier
ortiz franco and here he had no hector
Felix Miranda
the two previous occupants my office
they were killed
Hector Felix Miranda in 1988
his killers waited for freedom makes
a year are working on 98 in
tijuana so he was the suspect and ex
in suspicion and intellectual murder
of journalist jorge hank rhon francisco
javier ortiz franco the general editor
of the weekly zeta final phase 2004 by
the cartel arellano felix
in front of two of his little children
the blue black white itself and a
attack in 1997
that was part of my frustration of
We are not allowed to work by civilian
they want
this happens I put my desk like this
is going to be the writer did
what do I do and I’m alone in
this office just received this
information
at that time I spoke to the person
that I had more confidence from him
the authorities were fighting the
drug trafficking
unfortunately then as now
there are not many who are
committed
I talked to General Alfonso Duarte
commander of the second military zone
here in tijuana and he put us an escort
military half military escort seven
armed elements per person had
outside the mushroom offices 21
elements of the army were the months
most difficult of our band
we lost the privacy we lost the
privacy
we lost our social life by
of course we lived from our house to
newspaper from the newspaper to our house
escorted 24 hours a day by
elements of the Mexican army because
in this country there are no conditions for
exercise freedom of expression
it did not take long for some
difficult months I insist if there were
questions from the team
history if we kept doing us
we kept doing what journalism
it makes is worth the weekly
worth risking life
Blancornelas had already responded to
that question in 2004 to murder
my colleague Francisco Javier Ortiz
franco moment very difficult for the
weekly jesús blancornelas thought about
closing the newspaper is not worth a
life is not worth continuing to do
something that in Mexico we can not do
how many more deaths do we want to
understand that in this country there is no
conditions for free expression that
no this
we are around him we convinced him
of going ahead to do it for them
for our classmates for whom we
preceded by hector feits by
Francisco Javier by his own white
good
and we stayed and stayed at a great
part of the team that I now honor
in the lead and we continue to do journalism
investigation because it threatens us by the
impunity and corruption because
we investigate what the government
He wants you to know that we
we publish
what criminals do not want
you know, we make a
journalism where are we saying
our society
these are the bad guys this is a man
this one his face
if you see him denounce him, córrele so
soon these are the politicians who
they are corrupt with drug trafficking
or who are stealing solitos
these are the ones who are the worst
they administer our resources and all
we do investigate as journalists
we have that advantage of knowing what
source go where to go where
look for the document to be able to tell
our society that is what is
happening is what they are doing and with
their resources
who are not being violated and we are
putting in a serious series on condition
of risk for being corrupted by crime
organized that we do to survive
we wanted after that
we build what we have
called a protection network in two
the first way is a network that includes
to all organizations and
defense and protection associations
of rights journalists
human rights and freedom of expression
National and international
there are many depend on us from
you from the people that we contribute to
that continue to guarantee at least one
‘our freedom is not guaranteed and
our freedoms among them the
expression committee for protection
of the journalists
the Inter-American Press Society
article 19 reporters without borders the
unesco so many organizations
we make a letter we say the
conditions under threat in which
we are working on the weekly it
we send them these organizations
and those organizations what they do is
send schubert shoes and alerts to
Mexican government to say that the
threatened journalists are not alone
there who is watching us to
far that there is that is supporting us and
that pressure works particularly in
a government like the current one we have where
the external criticism is of sum
importance for the president of the
republic works say if they flip
to see the journalists if he leaves he does not
you can pass this journalist no more
despite that in one last one recent
unesco report mexico is
tied first with afghanistan
as the most dangerous country for
journalists more than 100 journalists have
been killed from 2000 to date
our country 35 in recent years
the last five years
it is not a positive situation for the
freedom of expression
we keep doing what we have the
support of this organized society
national and international and most
important because we have the support
of our society who acquire the
weekly zeta
who read weekly zeta not nothing else
they are learning what is
happening they are supporting a project
of freedom of expression
Our society requires projects
of journalistic independence for
make a mature society to make a
more participative society from the
society from the exercise of
freedom of expression not just the
journalism
I think that in recent years Mexico
has advanced with instruments of the
civil society to supervise the
governments no longer nothing more than
journalists are doing
journalistic research that there
citizen organizations that
they also dedicate themselves to it and that
they also pay the consequences and that
they also put their lives at risk to that
threat of the 10
and January 8, 2010 have followed other
they have wanted to kill me they have loved me
assassinate we have wanted to end the
Weekly offices and governments
they wanted to defame been more than enough
occasions in recent years
particularly in the last four
years when we write when
we publish in a report where we are
revealing corruption in a government
state with a federal government or
even municipal there is a reaction
against journalists try us
defame that is a kind of kill
also assassinate moral credibility
of a person to finish with a month
it is also a way to kill
we survive, I insist, thanks to our
Readers
thanks to the organizations that
come from civil society
it’s worth of course that life does not
It’s worth losing but it’s worth the
risk but I do believe that by exercising
our freedom of expression in
our case from journalism
we contribute to a better society
we contribute to a more society
informed and a society that is going to be
able to make decisions in a
choice is in an organization is in
a manifestation whatever its
way to do better government by
the least to fight for a better government
support for freedom of expression
is in each one of us in how
we read on how we analyze how we see
so we have survived and for the
scretario classes
