New protest against femicides and repression in Cancun: women demonstrated at the offices of the CDMX Prosecutor’s Office

About 30 hooded women they broke in this Friday afternoon in the bunker of the Attorney General’s Office of Mexico City (FGJ-CDMX) to demand justice for the femicide by Bianca Alejandrina (Alexis), occurred at the beginning of the week in Cancun, Quintana Roo.

However, the demonstration turned violent around 2:30 p.m., when they used hammers to break the windows of the FGJ-CDMX and enter the offices located in the Doctores neighborhood of the Cuauhtémoc mayor’s office.

Later, the hooded women took out some boxes and various files, which could be research folders, which began to tear and set them on fire, despite the workers asking them not to.

To prevent them from continuing to destroy the property, elements of the Athena Group, from the Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC), arrived at the place to remove them with the use of fire extinguishers, causing them to disperse. However, protests continued in the vicinity of the Metrobús Balderas, where they began to paint and throw stones at the station’s crystals, but they were also encapsulated.

During the protests, the hooded women were accompanied by the Human rights commission capital city and Marabunta Group to be interlocutors with the authorities.

For its part, the Road Orientation Center of Mexico City reported through its social networks that circulation was closed in Gabriel Hernández between Dr. Lavista and Av. Dr. Río de la Loza, as well as in Balderas avenue, between Av. Juárez and Chapultepec by protesters.

Likewise, the Metrobús reported that the line 4, which goes from Buenavista to Isabel La Católica, suspended your service, so he invited users to take their forecasts.

It should be remembered that on November 11, a group of feminists was encapsulated by uniformed men from Mexico City in the Glorieta de Cibeles when they were protesting for the same cause.

Further, Álvaro Obregón avenue closed, equine Tonalá street in Colonia Roma, roads that adjoin the campus of the representation of the government of Quintana Roo in the capital, which was surrounded by metal fences and sheltered for some security elements.

Last weekend, two femicides occurred in Cancun in less than 24 hours and the women’s bodies were found on Saturday and Sunday night.

This Monday, the Quintana Roo Prosecutor’s Office confirmed the discovery in Cancun of the body of the 20-year-old Alexis, whose original name was Bianca Alejandrina Lorenzana Alvarado and about whom there was a disappearance alert since last November 7.

According to the data of the Prosecutor’s Office, the body, which was later identified by his relatives, was found “With clear traces of violence.”

It was after the announcement of the finding that actions were called to denounce the lack of effectiveness of the authorities and the exhaustion of femicides and gender violence, in a country where an average of ten women are murdered every day.

But during the protests in Cancun, security elements they opened fire and seriously wounded at least two women.
