Although Marichuy, an independent contender to be a candidate for the Mexican presidency, cannot gather a million signatures demanded by the electoral authorities to participate officially in the elections, the activist and indigenous spokeswoman herself has explained that the real purpose of her candidacy is to coordinate a national movement of resistance and rebellion from the bases. The intention of her movement is to curb the ravages caused by capitalism. At a rally held in the midst of heavy rain in Mexico City, Marichuy, who is a Nahua Indian, said: “We do not forgive governments for the pain of our dead, nor for the hunger of our children, nor for the damage to mother earth.” And she warned: “If we forgive, if we forget, nothing will remain of us, because the war will be worse, it will be against the workers, the people, and the children.” Also, in this edition, mothers with missing children who started a hunger strike in front of the Mexican Department of the Interior, they demand an investigation about the whereabouts of their children, Martha Elena Ramírez hosts this broadcast of the Voz Pública program, from Mexico City.
