Mothers in resistance maintain a sit-in in front of the facilities of the Government Palace of Chiapas, where they ask that their relatives be located with the slogan “I will change my vote for my missing daughter.”

The Madres en Resistencia collective launched the slogan “I will change my vote for my missing person,” demanding that the candidates for the government of Chiapas pay attention to the problem of missing persons in the entity.

With a protest, dozens of women showed signs, pink crosses and photographs of their unlocated relatives.

They accused that the authorities have been omissive and negligent in the family searches and mentioned that there is a historical debt with the victims of feminicide and with the victims of forced disappearance.

“We want them to look for them, it is their right. We want justice for our daughters even if they are not there. “We deserve as a family to have that peace that was taken from us.”

In the protest at the Government Palace in Tuxtla Gutiérrez they called on those who lead the new government to be empathetic with the searchers and to welcome them.

“We hope that the new government has empathy, that it is not indolent, that it welcomes the mothers, that we have the doors open in this Palace where we have been intimidated, rejected, violated and re-victimized by public servants. They must receive us with dignity. “We want a fundamental change because corruption prevails here.”

The searchers took a walk that started from the emblematic colored bridge located to the west of the city, to end in front of the Government Palace
