Mexican activists frustrated with the president: Even more feminicid gets worse

Every day, Maria Salguero's mailbox is filled with alarms that show the endless stories of the feminicide crisis in Mexico: “women's body”, “disfigured women”, “wife stoned”, “

For the past four years activists in Mexico City have made daily records of women's deaths, and the location of each of the crimes and victims in an online map.

When Adres Manuel Lopez Obrador [ AMLO was elected president in 2018, Salguero had hoped that Mexico's self - proclaimed progressive president would make decizi decisions to reduce the number of women killed last year who claimed the lives of 3825 women.

Instead, Salguero's research shows that things are getting worse: 10 or 11 women are being killed every day, compared with six deaths when she launched the campaign in 2016, writes The Guardian, Periscope.

And like a lot of Mexican feminists she makes it sound to be frustrated with the politician widely known as Amlo.

I feel betrayed because I was one of the people who voted for him,” said Salguero, 40 years old. We believed things could be different, but now we're seeing it get worse.”

Salguero is not alone. Now more and more Amlos' former supporters are expressing their deep disappointment.

“amlo is killing us” and “Let's abort Amlo” are some of the slogans.

We all believe things will go differently. ” said Frida Guerrera, activist and journalist who recently confronted the Mexican president at a news conference this morning.

In a statement by the president, he blamed “neoliberal policies” for the ferminicide.

Politologist Viridiana Rios believes that the link the president made to liberal policies with feminicide was completely wrong. /Periscope
