FRIDAY, JUNE 19.
PROGRAM # 7547 12:00 PM PT
Mexico Edition.
A conversation with journalist Lourdes Encinas about her book “49 Razones Para no Olvidar” (49 Reasons Not to Forget), in which she chronicles the fire that occurred at the ABC Childcare in Hermosillo, Sonora. Six years after the tragedy in which 49 children died and 104 were wounded, the reporter remembers the business of childcare, the complicity of political class, and the obstruction of justice from the upper echelons of power. “49 Razones Para no Olvidar” attempts to stop the oblivion and bring transparency, because “the fire of the ABC Childcare still hasn’t been put out” for the children who died and the 80 who still have permanent damage on their skin and lungs. Will incoming governor Claudia Pavlovich do something? Martha Elena Ramírez hosts Voz Pública from Mexico City.
Guests: Lourdes Encinas Moreno, reporter, Weekly Primera Plana and editorialist for Grupo Larsa stations, Hermosillo, Sonora. www.lourdesencinas.com ; (Taped Sound) Ricardo Ovado Ramírez, Coordinadora Nacional Agua Para Todos Agua para la Vida, Mexico City.
