Another trip to, and collection of photos from Mexico City comes to an end and I look forward to the next time. I love visiting here, I’m always looking forward to coming back
After protests and five departments on strike, UNAM has stated its intent to repeal its decision to allow for the suspension or expulsion of those who commit so-called "acts of vandalism," widely seen as a move to quash protests.
Many demands remain, however, including around access to affordable, decent food, an end to repression, and democratization. We'll see what comes next.
"Relatives and search groups today symbolically closed the Senate in Mexico City, one day after legislators approved a statement to demand the dismissal of the president of the UN Committee on Enforced Disappearances (CED), which initiated proceedings against the Mexican State for the crisis of systematic disappearances in Mexico."
New translation up on @igd_news looking at repression and resistance at the National Autonomous University of Mexico:
"The reform takes place in a political climate marked by the intention of university authorities to restructure the University Tribunal, toughening sanctions against those who participate in protests."
Some Mexico news:
President Sheinbaum and her lackeys at the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH - an ostensibly autonomous state institution) are battling with the United Nations over disappearances. The UN says disappearances in Mexico are "generalized and systemic." With no sense of irony, or apparent grasp on reality, the CNDH replied that, "We reject that Mexico is experiencing a crisis of disappearances and more so reject that these are the result of State policy." They then ramble on about foreign meddling making things worse. Apparently 124,000 disappeared since 2006 is something that just happens?

In an incident causing widespread indignation, on Saturday afternoon, a poorly built structure collapsed in strong winds at the international AXE Ceremonia Festival in Mexico City, killing two photojournalists. That was at 5:30pm. The show continued until 2am with no interruption.
The festival was to proceed on Sunday and authorities said they would close the venue after the festival ended. In response to outrage over the deaths and refusals by artists, including mi querido Ed Maverick, to perform as if nothing happened, they finally cancelled the remainder of the event.
"It was not an accident, it was negligence," say the journalists' union.
