FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1
PROGRAM # 8534 12:00 PM PT
Mexico Edition.
More than 1500 corpses of people who were stored in the morgue of Jalisco were incinerated without being taken DNA samples thus preventing that someday these remains could be identified and claimed by their relatives. This measure adopted by the Jalisco state government since 2006 hasn´t been explained yet, therefore, a Guadalajara based NGO called Centro de Justicia para la Paz y el Desarrollo has asked the UN to investigate the case. In another issue, comuneros and ejidatarios of the states of Morelos, Puebla and Tlaxcala, urge President López Obrador to cancel the Proyecto Integral Morelos, which includes a thermoelectric power plant, a gas pipeline and an aqueduct. The works were carried out by Spanish companies and are to feed water and energy to Canadian mining companies Esperanza Silvert and Alamos Gold, which with seven concessions will exploit gold and mercury in a large area, for which they will displace communities and use the tributaries of the Cuautla river and the basin of the Tembembe river. On other news, members of the community police of the state of Guerrero, request an audience with President López Obrador, demanding the release of 20 political prisoners and the cancelation of 50 arrest warrants. Martha Elena Ramírez hosts this broadcast of the Voz Pública program from Mexico City.
