00:00:17.726 --> 00:00:19.519 align:center
JUSTICE

00:00:23.314 --> 00:00:25.525 align:center
-You'll be here at the entrance?
-Yes.

00:00:29.571 --> 00:00:30.947 align:center
INVESTIGATIVE POLICE

00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:39.914 align:center
None of us
should have to be here right now.

00:00:39.998 --> 00:00:44.169 align:center
And yet we're still looking for ways
to repair a wounded nation,

00:00:44.252 --> 00:00:47.547 align:center
where extreme violence
is on the rise every day.

00:00:48.047 --> 00:00:51.092 align:center
And today, the issue is very simple.

00:00:51.176 --> 00:00:54.179 align:center
It's the full reparation
for all of the damage done.

00:00:54.262 --> 00:00:57.724 align:center
Reparation? I don't know
if we can be repaired.

00:00:57.807 --> 00:01:02.395 align:center
I don't know if what was broken
so long ago can ever be repaired

00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:06.232 align:center
due to the pain of losing one
of our daughters and one of our sisters,

00:01:06.316 --> 00:01:10.070 align:center
with the damage and the scars
that we survivors must bear.

00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:14.949 align:center
We have called for an open dialogue
with the authorities.

00:01:15.033 --> 00:01:19.162 align:center
We are demanding a dialogue
with the Femicide Prosecutor's Office,

00:01:19.245 --> 00:01:21.206 align:center
with Sayuri, with Brenda Bazán.

00:01:21.289 --> 00:01:23.083 align:center
An open dialogue.

00:01:23.166 --> 00:01:25.293 align:center
We are saying it loud and clear.

00:01:25.794 --> 00:01:29.005 align:center
The State owes us an enormous debt.

00:01:29.631 --> 00:01:34.219 align:center
A debt that cannot be paid off
with unfulfilled promises,

00:01:34.302 --> 00:01:38.264 align:center
with agreements that they have forgotten,
with lost documents,

00:01:38.348 --> 00:01:41.226 align:center
nor with purple handkerchiefs
in their hands.

00:01:41.726 --> 00:01:43.436 align:center
And not with the few convictions

00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:46.648 align:center
that we ourselves
have had to wrest from the State.

00:01:47.148 --> 00:01:48.983 align:center
We want convictions.

00:01:49.484 --> 00:01:50.777 align:center
And sentences.

00:01:50.860 --> 00:01:52.612 align:center
We want due process.

00:01:52.695 --> 00:01:54.322 align:center
We want a gender perspective.

00:01:54.405 --> 00:01:56.866 align:center
We want them to do their jobs
in the face of the violence

00:01:56.950 --> 00:01:59.160 align:center
that exists right here in our country,

00:01:59.244 --> 00:02:02.747 align:center
the violence that has taken
so much from us with impunity.

00:02:03.957 --> 00:02:08.503 align:center
We want and we need
full reparation for all of the damages,

00:02:08.586 --> 00:02:10.338 align:center
because it's very simple.

00:02:10.421 --> 00:02:11.881 align:center
It's our right.

00:02:11.965 --> 00:02:15.176 align:center
And from here going forward,
these are our demands.

00:02:15.969 --> 00:02:17.387 align:center
I heard them yesterday.

00:02:17.470 --> 00:02:20.974 align:center
I said, "It's good that,
regardless of who you are siding with,

00:02:21.057 --> 00:02:24.644 align:center
you don't stop raising your concerns
about what needs to be done."

00:02:24.727 --> 00:02:26.437 align:center
"It would be wrong if you did."

00:02:26.521 --> 00:02:28.898 align:center
If we start saying, "That's not my job,

00:02:28.982 --> 00:02:30.650 align:center
go to the next window,

00:02:30.733 --> 00:02:32.861 align:center
that's not my job, it's someone else's…"

00:02:32.944 --> 00:02:34.320 align:center
"Well, I did my job…"

00:02:35.655 --> 00:02:36.906 align:center
If you end up doing that,

00:02:36.990 --> 00:02:40.451 align:center
then maybe no one will ever
be held responsible for a crime,

00:02:41.244 --> 00:02:42.537 align:center
for their conduct.

00:02:43.288 --> 00:02:46.791 align:center
So… that's just
what I was telling you, right?

00:02:46.875 --> 00:02:48.668 align:center
That's why I chose to be here.

00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:54.382 align:center
I know that I decided to be responsible
and accountable to the citizens.

00:02:54.465 --> 00:02:58.720 align:center
I can't shirk my responsibility
and try and pass it on to someone else,

00:02:58.803 --> 00:03:02.932 align:center
because I know that there,
in that place, and at that moment,

00:03:03.433 --> 00:03:06.853 align:center
I represent an authority figure,
an institution.

00:03:09.355 --> 00:03:13.151 align:center
Also, I know that what they wanted
was to express their anger,

00:03:13.234 --> 00:03:14.819 align:center
to express their outrage,

00:03:14.903 --> 00:03:18.990 align:center
to protest, to be seen,
and to present their demands,

00:03:19.073 --> 00:03:21.993 align:center
and to show us all
what remains to be done.

00:03:58.321 --> 00:04:03.284 align:center
THE PROSECUTOR

00:04:07.664 --> 00:04:09.707 align:center
-Good morning.
-Good morning. Have a good day.

00:04:09.791 --> 00:04:10.750 align:center
Thank you.

00:04:11.334 --> 00:04:13.044 align:center
-Good morning.
-Commander.

00:04:13.127 --> 00:04:14.587 align:center
-Good morning.
-Good morning.

00:04:15.672 --> 00:04:16.881 align:center
Good morning.

00:04:18.716 --> 00:04:20.718 align:center
We're ready.

00:04:27.267 --> 00:04:30.979 align:center
I thought that my time
at the Prosecutor's Office was over.

00:04:33.856 --> 00:04:37.068 align:center
As a femicide prosecutor,
I could no longer move forward.

00:04:37.902 --> 00:04:40.738 align:center
I mean, I had already reached my limit

00:04:40.822 --> 00:04:44.284 align:center
because I did not have the support
of the gender crimes coordinator,

00:04:44.367 --> 00:04:47.078 align:center
who was my immediate superior.

00:04:49.706 --> 00:04:54.294 align:center
She would sometimes prevent us
from getting phone records we requested,

00:04:54.377 --> 00:04:56.296 align:center
stop us from carrying out a search,

00:04:56.379 --> 00:04:59.507 align:center
and I also remember
that once she called me to her office

00:04:59.590 --> 00:05:01.718 align:center
to yell at me, to attack me.

00:05:02.802 --> 00:05:06.347 align:center
She said to me, "I don't understand,
I don't understand what you want."

00:05:07.849 --> 00:05:09.517 align:center
"Why don't you obey?
Why don't you submit?"

00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.186 align:center
"Don't you want to advance
in this institution?"

00:05:16.441 --> 00:05:19.986 align:center
I had already submitted
my resignation. I was ready to leave.

00:05:21.362 --> 00:05:24.615 align:center
I can't get along
with someone who treats me so badly.

00:05:29.454 --> 00:05:30.663 align:center
Sometime later,

00:05:30.747 --> 00:05:33.833 align:center
the Attorney General called me
into her office,

00:05:34.334 --> 00:05:36.878 align:center
and she told me that she had decided

00:05:36.961 --> 00:05:40.298 align:center
to remove this person
from the position of coordinator,

00:05:40.381 --> 00:05:45.762 align:center
and she asked me if I would be willing
to take on the position.

00:05:45.845 --> 00:05:48.389 align:center
GENERAL INVESTIGATION UNIT
FOR GENDER CRIMES AND SPECIAL VICTIMS

00:05:49.057 --> 00:05:52.226 align:center
And I said, "Yes. Yes, I'm ready."

00:05:57.190 --> 00:06:00.860 align:center
HEAD OF THE GENDER-BASED
SPECIALIZED UNIT FOR THE DA'S OFFICES

00:06:00.943 --> 00:06:03.946 align:center
As a coordinator,
the position would allow me

00:06:04.030 --> 00:06:07.825 align:center
to continue supervising
the investigation of femicides

00:06:07.909 --> 00:06:12.789 align:center
and also to deal with other crimes
that are committed against women,

00:06:13.456 --> 00:06:17.210 align:center
to address crimes
involving human trafficking,

00:06:17.293 --> 00:06:19.545 align:center
to deal with domestic violence,

00:06:19.629 --> 00:06:22.757 align:center
to support the Prosecutor's Office
for Sexual Crimes,

00:06:22.840 --> 00:06:26.844 align:center
to support the Prosecutor's Office
for Prioritized and Vulnerable Groups.

00:06:28.054 --> 00:06:31.265 align:center
And once I was there,
the workload increased.

00:06:38.314 --> 00:06:41.567 align:center
INVESTIGATIVE POLICE HEADQUARTERS

00:06:41.651 --> 00:06:45.238 align:center
Tania, how many arrest warrants
have we executed? 78 or 79?

00:06:46.864 --> 00:06:48.491 align:center
-There are 78.
-78?

00:06:48.574 --> 00:06:49.450 align:center
Yeah.

00:06:50.243 --> 00:06:53.287 align:center
Well, we're doing poorly,
very poorly, okay? Godínez?

00:06:54.831 --> 00:06:58.584 align:center
From my shift yesterday, they called me
about the lady who was here earlier.

00:06:58.668 --> 00:07:00.044 align:center
-The one who said…?
-Uh-huh.

00:07:00.128 --> 00:07:03.506 align:center
They saw him working as a loader there
in the Central de Abastos.

00:07:03.589 --> 00:07:05.716 align:center
-As a loader?
-She doesn't know, but they've seen him.

00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.344 align:center
Don't fuck with me.
Central de Abastos will be tough.

00:07:08.428 --> 00:07:10.430 align:center
It's really crowded there, yeah.

00:07:10.513 --> 00:07:13.182 align:center
-They just told us it was in that area.
-The flowers area?

00:07:13.266 --> 00:07:15.268 align:center
-In the flowers aisle.
-In the flowers aisle?

00:07:15.351 --> 00:07:17.228 align:center
-Oh, well…
-That's a smaller area, dude.

00:07:17.311 --> 00:07:20.523 align:center
Give the summary to Tania, and send her
a photo of the arrest warrant.

00:07:20.606 --> 00:07:22.650 align:center
-You can start the file, Tania.
-Yes.

00:07:22.733 --> 00:07:26.195 align:center
The one who shot himself
according to the traffic officer.

00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.490 align:center
Apparently, this week,
the judge will request the arrest warrant.

00:07:29.574 --> 00:07:31.534 align:center
-Apparently?
-This week, apparently.

00:07:31.617 --> 00:07:32.785 align:center
Okay, one, two…

00:07:32.869 --> 00:07:35.705 align:center
Look, Franco, if you carry out
all those warrants,

00:07:36.205 --> 00:07:38.291 align:center
there would be about eight.

00:07:38.791 --> 00:07:41.335 align:center
We still have to go
and complete the one right now.

00:07:42.462 --> 00:07:45.089 align:center
You can take December off
if you put all these in.

00:07:45.173 --> 00:07:46.591 align:center
Now you really surprised us.

00:07:47.091 --> 00:07:49.886 align:center
All right, have a good day
and let's get to it.

00:07:50.386 --> 00:07:51.429 align:center
Thank you.

00:08:03.900 --> 00:08:07.069 align:center
Ariadna Díaz was found dead
in the La Pera area,

00:08:07.153 --> 00:08:10.031 align:center
on the road to Tepoztlán and Cuautla.

00:08:11.574 --> 00:08:13.784 align:center
Some cyclists found her on the road,

00:08:13.868 --> 00:08:16.037 align:center
and the family is demanding justice.

00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:17.622 align:center
They're asking for an investigation

00:08:17.705 --> 00:08:20.500 align:center
and for the driver
of this vehicle to be arrested.

00:08:20.583 --> 00:08:22.543 align:center
We received a report

00:08:22.627 --> 00:08:29.550 align:center
of the discovery of a woman
who was found dead in Morelos.

00:08:29.634 --> 00:08:32.553 align:center
And her characteristics could be a match

00:08:32.637 --> 00:08:36.390 align:center
for a missing person report
which was filed in Mexico City.

00:08:37.934 --> 00:08:41.020 align:center
The family started posting
that she's missing.

00:08:41.103 --> 00:08:44.815 align:center
Coincidentally, the cyclist
who was passing through the Morelos area

00:08:44.899 --> 00:08:47.235 align:center
contacted the family through social media.

00:08:47.318 --> 00:08:50.029 align:center
-Because of her tattoo?
-Because of the tattoo. Right.

00:08:58.955 --> 00:09:01.666 align:center
Our team came to the decision that,

00:09:01.749 --> 00:09:06.254 align:center
regardless of the fact that the discovery
was made in the State of Morelos,

00:09:06.337 --> 00:09:10.841 align:center
and that by then the media presumed
that the femicide had occurred there,

00:09:10.925 --> 00:09:12.385 align:center
we thought it was important

00:09:12.468 --> 00:09:16.347 align:center
to open an investigation file
in Mexico City for femicide

00:09:16.430 --> 00:09:20.268 align:center
because, in the end, we were not sure
where the death had occurred.

00:09:20.351 --> 00:09:24.063 align:center
And I told them,
"Open an investigation file."

00:09:24.146 --> 00:09:25.648 align:center
"We have a lead here."

00:09:27.984 --> 00:09:30.945 align:center
We had never opened
a case like this before

00:09:31.028 --> 00:09:34.907 align:center
of a body found in a different state,
but we had to act quickly.

00:09:37.451 --> 00:09:39.996 align:center
CASE FILE OPENED
IN RESPONSE TO CRIMINAL REPORT.

00:09:42.540 --> 00:09:46.419 align:center
We need to investigate, we need
to carry out the necessary inquiries.

00:09:46.502 --> 00:09:47.670 align:center
All right, man, thanks.

00:09:48.170 --> 00:09:50.923 align:center
Commander Casillas went to Ariadna's wake.

00:09:52.174 --> 00:09:54.719 align:center
Let's go, guys.
They're waiting for us down there.

00:09:57.054 --> 00:09:59.765 align:center
All right, dude, I'm coming.

00:10:01.392 --> 00:10:02.643 align:center
See you later, Elia.

00:10:17.742 --> 00:10:19.785 align:center
I went with my partner Rodolfo.

00:10:19.869 --> 00:10:22.538 align:center
We were just going
to corroborate and get information.

00:10:23.414 --> 00:10:26.375 align:center
It was just a few blocks away
from the Prosecutor's Office,

00:10:26.459 --> 00:10:28.169 align:center
here in the same Doctores neighborhood.

00:10:29.337 --> 00:10:32.590 align:center
DOCTORES NEIGHBORHOOD

00:10:43.684 --> 00:10:46.354 align:center
And the instructions to Commander Casillas

00:10:46.437 --> 00:10:49.690 align:center
were to tell the family
that we were working on the investigation.

00:10:52.443 --> 00:10:55.279 align:center
When we arrived, we noticed
there were several media outlets.

00:10:55.363 --> 00:10:56.739 align:center
There were a lot of people.

00:10:58.699 --> 00:11:00.451 align:center
The young woman was found dead

00:11:00.534 --> 00:11:04.205 align:center
on the side of La Pera-Cuautla highway
in Tepoztlán, Morelos.

00:11:04.288 --> 00:11:05.915 align:center
It wasn't until yesterday

00:11:05.998 --> 00:11:08.084 align:center
that her relatives
were able to identify the body.

00:11:08.167 --> 00:11:09.752 align:center
They had reported her missing,

00:11:09.835 --> 00:11:12.171 align:center
and they have just been able
to identify her.

00:11:12.254 --> 00:11:14.256 align:center
There are many versions of this story…

00:11:14.340 --> 00:11:15.883 align:center
We noticed when we got there

00:11:15.966 --> 00:11:18.761 align:center
that there were quite a few friends
of the victim present.

00:11:23.683 --> 00:11:27.436 align:center
We identified ourselves and explained
the reason for our presence there.

00:11:27.520 --> 00:11:29.188 align:center
And we saw that there were three,

00:11:29.271 --> 00:11:32.316 align:center
specifically, three of her friends
sitting there,

00:11:32.900 --> 00:11:36.237 align:center
and they told me,
"How dare Rautel show his face here!"

00:11:38.572 --> 00:11:40.658 align:center
This guy is Rautel,
and he came with his girlfriend.

00:11:43.911 --> 00:11:45.162 align:center
That's when the rumors began.

00:11:45.246 --> 00:11:47.998 align:center
When he arrived at the wake,
they immediately started saying,

00:11:48.082 --> 00:11:51.585 align:center
"How dare he come? How can he have
the nerve to show up here?"

00:11:51.669 --> 00:11:53.671 align:center
Because they already had their theories.

00:11:53.754 --> 00:11:55.965 align:center
They had an idea of what happened, right?

00:11:56.048 --> 00:11:57.758 align:center
"This is the guy she was drinking with."

00:11:57.842 --> 00:11:59.343 align:center
They started showing me the videos

00:11:59.427 --> 00:12:01.637 align:center
where you can see her
with him in a restaurant.

00:12:07.601 --> 00:12:10.604 align:center
I asked if they wanted to tell me more.
They said yes.

00:12:10.688 --> 00:12:13.065 align:center
I took them outside there
with my partner Rodolfo,

00:12:13.149 --> 00:12:15.693 align:center
and we took their statements
out on the street.

00:12:19.488 --> 00:12:22.241 align:center
On Sunday, she sent me
her real-time location.

00:12:22.324 --> 00:12:26.579 align:center
She was in the Condesa neighborhood
at the home of these so-called friends.

00:12:26.662 --> 00:12:30.082 align:center
And that was the last information
we had about Ari

00:12:30.166 --> 00:12:33.002 align:center
until Monday when her body was found.

00:12:35.588 --> 00:12:38.215 align:center
I knew from her location
that they had gone to his house,

00:12:38.299 --> 00:12:39.759 align:center
so I was less worried.

00:12:39.842 --> 00:12:43.179 align:center
I thought, "It's okay. They're at home.
She's with someone trustworthy."

00:12:43.262 --> 00:12:45.181 align:center
Had you been to Rautel's house before?

00:12:45.264 --> 00:12:46.557 align:center
-Yes.
-Many times?

00:12:46.640 --> 00:12:49.435 align:center
Yes, many times. Many, many times.

00:12:49.518 --> 00:12:52.271 align:center
Rautel was literally
one of my best friends.

00:12:52.354 --> 00:12:56.984 align:center
I mean, that's why…
it didn't raise any alarms for me.

00:12:57.067 --> 00:13:00.529 align:center
I mean, until Nat, who lived with me,
said to me the next day,

00:13:00.613 --> 00:13:03.824 align:center
"Hey, do you know anything
about Ariadna? Is she with you?"

00:13:03.908 --> 00:13:06.285 align:center
And I said,
"No, I mean, she's with Rautel."

00:13:06.368 --> 00:13:10.164 align:center
And when I spoke to Rautel, he said,
"No, she took an Uber and left."

00:13:10.247 --> 00:13:13.042 align:center
And I was like,
"Okay, perfect, she took an Uber."

00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:19.298 align:center
And then they changed the story that one
of his bodyguards had taken her home.

00:13:19.381 --> 00:13:21.509 align:center
So that's when we got suspicious,

00:13:21.592 --> 00:13:25.638 align:center
and we decided not to have
any contact with Rautel anymore.

00:13:29.642 --> 00:13:31.227 align:center
Then I stopped him out here,

00:13:31.310 --> 00:13:35.439 align:center
and I said, "Good evening,
my name is Gustavo Casillas."

00:13:35.523 --> 00:13:38.734 align:center
"I'm investigating the femicide
of such and such a victim."

00:13:38.818 --> 00:13:42.154 align:center
And he says to me,
"I have nothing to say to the police."

00:13:42.238 --> 00:13:44.740 align:center
"What I had to say
I've already said in Morelos."

00:13:47.201 --> 00:13:50.079 align:center
He kept shifting his hands all the time
and licking his lips.

00:13:50.162 --> 00:13:52.039 align:center
And he wouldn't look me in the eye.

00:13:52.122 --> 00:13:55.668 align:center
And from that moment on,
I had a bad feeling about it.

00:13:55.751 --> 00:13:59.964 align:center
He would say to me, "No, don't come
near me. I have nothing to do with that."

00:14:00.047 --> 00:14:03.259 align:center
And he repeated it a lot,
and he licked his lips again, right?

00:14:04.218 --> 00:14:07.513 align:center
While I was stopping Rautel
in the hallway I showed you,

00:14:07.596 --> 00:14:10.766 align:center
my partner Rodolfo
intercepted his girlfriend.

00:14:11.976 --> 00:14:15.479 align:center
And Vanessa, the girlfriend,
was nervous right from the start.

00:14:15.563 --> 00:14:16.939 align:center
She had no counsel.

00:14:17.022 --> 00:14:20.818 align:center
Well, while we were talking there,
someone came in and took her away.

00:14:21.402 --> 00:14:24.488 align:center
“Vanessa, don't say anything.
You have to talk to a lawyer.”

00:14:26.198 --> 00:14:29.201 align:center
But Rodolfo had already gotten
important information from her.

00:14:29.702 --> 00:14:32.037 align:center
When I came in here, the coffin was there,

00:14:32.121 --> 00:14:34.540 align:center
so I turned and took a look at him.

00:14:34.623 --> 00:14:38.836 align:center
He got uncomfortable, he left
and went outside to talk to the media.

00:14:44.341 --> 00:14:46.385 align:center
I want to do things the best way possible,

00:14:46.886 --> 00:14:51.640 align:center
because, if somehow,
she chose me to deal with this,

00:14:51.724 --> 00:14:55.102 align:center
or… if this situation turned out this way,

00:14:56.604 --> 00:14:58.272 align:center
I want to do things the best I can.

00:14:58.355 --> 00:15:00.107 align:center
Were you at a bar or apartment?

00:15:00.983 --> 00:15:03.235 align:center
First in a bar, Fisher's Nápoles,

00:15:03.319 --> 00:15:05.446 align:center
and from there, we went to my apartment.

00:15:05.946 --> 00:15:09.783 align:center
Because my girlfriend posted
a story asking where we were.

00:15:10.284 --> 00:15:11.452 align:center
That's where our contact--

00:15:11.535 --> 00:15:13.787 align:center
-Your girlfriend was inviting her.
-Yes.

00:15:13.871 --> 00:15:15.331 align:center
Well, then, you shouldn't deny it.

00:15:16.248 --> 00:15:19.251 align:center
What happened to her?
Did she leave? Did she get into a vehicle?

00:15:19.335 --> 00:15:22.004 align:center
-Who picked her up?
-She went by herself.

00:15:22.087 --> 00:15:24.673 align:center
And that's where
I lost communication with her.

00:15:24.757 --> 00:15:26.467 align:center
You didn't see what happened

00:15:26.550 --> 00:15:28.010 align:center
-after she left your apartment?
-No.

00:15:28.093 --> 00:15:30.262 align:center
What about what the security cameras show?

00:15:30.346 --> 00:15:34.683 align:center
We already requested everything.
The process has just begun in Morelos.

00:15:34.767 --> 00:15:38.604 align:center
And the truth is
that we were the first, so to speak,

00:15:38.687 --> 00:15:41.148 align:center
to be there to submit our statements
and do things right.

00:15:41.231 --> 00:15:42.441 align:center
The second ones.

00:15:42.942 --> 00:15:44.151 align:center
Tell the truth.

00:15:45.486 --> 00:15:46.862 align:center
That's what it's all about.

00:15:46.945 --> 00:15:49.949 align:center
That's exactly what I'm here for.
I'm going to do it right.

00:15:50.032 --> 00:15:51.950 align:center
When she left, was she angry?

00:15:52.034 --> 00:15:54.161 align:center
-That's it.
-That's all, thank you.

00:15:54.244 --> 00:15:55.079 align:center
Thank you.

00:16:00.084 --> 00:16:04.213 align:center
By that time, the Morelos State
Attorney General's Office

00:16:04.296 --> 00:16:09.385 align:center
had already determined that the woman
had died from bronchoaspiration.

00:16:10.844 --> 00:16:13.305 align:center
Moments ago, the prosecutor for Morelos,

00:16:13.389 --> 00:16:16.558 align:center
Uriel Carmona Gándara,
stated in a press conference…

00:16:17.059 --> 00:16:19.436 align:center
The cause of death of Ariadna N…

00:16:22.439 --> 00:16:26.068 align:center
was due to severe alcohol intoxication

00:16:26.652 --> 00:16:28.612 align:center
and subsequent bronchoaspiration.

00:16:29.738 --> 00:16:33.075 align:center
The autopsy is not consistent
with a femicide.

00:16:33.575 --> 00:16:36.412 align:center
We did not find
any signs of violence on her.

00:16:38.038 --> 00:16:40.749 align:center
At the wake, the family told the commander

00:16:40.833 --> 00:16:43.252 align:center
that they had doubts about the autopsy.

00:16:43.752 --> 00:16:45.254 align:center
Yes, we talked to the family.

00:16:45.337 --> 00:16:47.506 align:center
They showed us
the photographs taken by the cyclist

00:16:47.589 --> 00:16:48.924 align:center
who had found her in Morelos.

00:16:49.007 --> 00:16:51.301 align:center
In the photos
that the person who found her posted,

00:16:51.385 --> 00:16:54.304 align:center
you can clearly see
how her arm has bruises.

00:16:54.388 --> 00:16:57.307 align:center
And there are photos
that show several blows to her face.

00:16:57.391 --> 00:16:59.143 align:center
We saw the photos and said, "No way."

00:16:59.226 --> 00:17:01.186 align:center
"So many contusions
from a drinking bender?"

00:17:01.270 --> 00:17:02.312 align:center
"No way. No, no, no."

00:17:02.396 --> 00:17:03.856 align:center
Suppose it was as they say,

00:17:03.939 --> 00:17:06.275 align:center
alcohol intoxication
and bronchoaspiration,

00:17:06.358 --> 00:17:08.152 align:center
did she walk all the way there or what?

00:17:08.235 --> 00:17:10.237 align:center
-No, fuck that.
-No, he threw her there.

00:17:10.320 --> 00:17:11.739 align:center
We decided to go all in on this guy.

00:17:11.822 --> 00:17:13.699 align:center
When I called Brenda
after talking to her family,

00:17:13.782 --> 00:17:15.242 align:center
after they showed me the pictures,

00:17:15.325 --> 00:17:17.411 align:center
I told the family,
"Are you going to have the balls?"

00:17:17.494 --> 00:17:20.372 align:center
"This is going to be fucking huge.
Are you going to have the balls?"

00:17:20.456 --> 00:17:23.000 align:center
"Hell, yeah, she's our daughter
and my sister." I said, "Okay."

00:17:24.585 --> 00:17:27.588 align:center
Some individuals,
especially friends of the deceased,

00:17:27.671 --> 00:17:30.632 align:center
have confirmed that the body
of Ariadna López Díaz

00:17:30.716 --> 00:17:33.093 align:center
was taken for a second autopsy.

00:17:35.846 --> 00:17:37.931 align:center
They interrupted the wake,

00:17:38.015 --> 00:17:41.977 align:center
and the investigative and forensics teams
transferred the body directly

00:17:42.061 --> 00:17:44.188 align:center
to the Institute of Forensic Sciences.

00:17:47.983 --> 00:17:52.279 align:center
They performed dissections in areas
that had not been thoroughly examined

00:17:52.362 --> 00:17:53.989 align:center
in the previous autopsy

00:17:54.072 --> 00:17:56.700 align:center
by the Morelos Prosecutor's Office.

00:17:56.784 --> 00:17:59.286 align:center
They also carried out organ analyses,

00:17:59.369 --> 00:18:03.665 align:center
and they documented the injuries
that Ariadna's body had presented.

00:18:03.749 --> 00:18:07.461 align:center
And it didn't show
any signs of bronchoaspiration.

00:18:09.046 --> 00:18:13.008 align:center
It was very obvious
that the autopsy in the State of Morelos

00:18:13.091 --> 00:18:15.594 align:center
had not been performed thoroughly.

00:18:16.261 --> 00:18:18.305 align:center
They had very deliberately determined

00:18:18.388 --> 00:18:21.558 align:center
that this was not a case of femicide.

00:18:27.397 --> 00:18:29.650 align:center
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
MEXICO CITY

00:18:29.733 --> 00:18:33.028 align:center
Good afternoon, we appreciate
your presence at this press conference

00:18:33.111 --> 00:18:34.696 align:center
arranged by the Attorney General…

00:18:34.780 --> 00:18:38.784 align:center
Upon the request
and with the consent of Ariadna's family,

00:18:38.867 --> 00:18:42.913 align:center
the Prosecutor's Office in Mexico City
requested a new autopsy.

00:18:42.996 --> 00:18:47.292 align:center
This second autopsy established
that the young woman's body

00:18:47.376 --> 00:18:50.504 align:center
displayed multiple contusions
caused by blows.

00:18:50.587 --> 00:18:52.297 align:center
So it was determined

00:18:52.381 --> 00:18:56.969 align:center
that the actual cause of death
was multiple traumatic injuries

00:18:57.052 --> 00:18:59.304 align:center
that were classified as fatal.

00:18:59.388 --> 00:19:02.057 align:center
At the same time, our duty has been…

00:19:02.140 --> 00:19:04.601 align:center
It does call into question
the work that was done

00:19:04.685 --> 00:19:07.938 align:center
by the entire investigative system
of the State of Morelos.

00:19:08.021 --> 00:19:11.316 align:center
This work was carried out
by our female forensic experts,

00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:13.360 align:center
who worked
with a gender-based perspective.

00:19:13.443 --> 00:19:15.654 align:center
I personally reviewed that autopsy.

00:19:15.737 --> 00:19:18.240 align:center
I've reviewed hundreds of autopsies
in my career.

00:19:18.323 --> 00:19:19.992 align:center
And we have nothing to hide.

00:19:20.075 --> 00:19:23.203 align:center
I say it with a clear conscience.
We have been thorough.

00:19:23.287 --> 00:19:25.247 align:center
But to make it clear, prosecutor,

00:19:25.330 --> 00:19:28.250 align:center
what you concluded
is that it wasn't a homicide.

00:19:28.750 --> 00:19:29.918 align:center
That's correct.

00:19:38.760 --> 00:19:43.348 align:center
Well, Ari and I were,
I can say, almost like family.

00:19:44.725 --> 00:19:49.605 align:center
I first met Ariadna back in 2017, I think.

00:19:49.688 --> 00:19:52.482 align:center
It was at the restaurant Hooters.

00:19:52.983 --> 00:19:56.570 align:center
I had just started working there,
and she was the hostess.

00:19:56.653 --> 00:19:59.573 align:center
So she reached out to me there,

00:19:59.656 --> 00:20:02.743 align:center
and she helped me get to know the place.

00:20:02.826 --> 00:20:04.912 align:center
She was very friendly to me,

00:20:04.995 --> 00:20:08.916 align:center
and she was the first person
I had contact with there.

00:20:12.669 --> 00:20:15.172 align:center
Well, I already knew.

00:20:15.255 --> 00:20:18.300 align:center
I was one of the first to know
that her death was caused

00:20:18.383 --> 00:20:20.052 align:center
by multiple bruises she received.

00:20:20.135 --> 00:20:21.553 align:center
ARIADNA'S FRIEND
PROTECTED WITNESS

00:20:21.637 --> 00:20:23.764 align:center
I saw the pictures of my friend.

00:20:23.847 --> 00:20:27.684 align:center
She had scratches on her face,
and I'd like…

00:20:29.144 --> 00:20:31.438 align:center
I'd like to know what happened.

00:20:33.232 --> 00:20:35.734 align:center
And I want to believe that she's fine,

00:20:35.817 --> 00:20:37.819 align:center
that she's at peace, because…

00:20:39.905 --> 00:20:43.992 align:center
she left it to us,
the right people, to get her justice.

00:21:06.848 --> 00:21:10.519 align:center
Through my experience
and through all that I've witnessed

00:21:10.602 --> 00:21:13.522 align:center
with other people
who are defenders of human rights,

00:21:13.605 --> 00:21:17.609 align:center
in the end, what makes you a mother
is the bond, the love.

00:21:28.704 --> 00:21:32.124 align:center
Now that Sayuri has passed
all the sociological

00:21:32.207 --> 00:21:34.626 align:center
and psychological evaluations,

00:21:34.710 --> 00:21:37.296 align:center
and has obtained
her certificate of suitability,

00:21:37.379 --> 00:21:40.757 align:center
today, we'll make
the physical placement of the baby girl

00:21:41.258 --> 00:21:43.760 align:center
so that she can be
in her new home with her mother.

00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:48.849 align:center
If you can sign right here, please…

00:21:50.600 --> 00:21:53.687 align:center
I made the decision to adopt a girl

00:21:53.770 --> 00:21:58.108 align:center
in a country where women are
at risk of being victims of femicide,

00:21:58.692 --> 00:22:00.736 align:center
to varying degrees.

00:22:03.488 --> 00:22:05.699 align:center
I have a special delivery.

00:22:05.782 --> 00:22:08.660 align:center
I'm handing her over to her mother.

00:22:12.372 --> 00:22:14.958 align:center
Because I thought, "Lucy is already here."

00:22:15.709 --> 00:22:19.004 align:center
It was no longer my decision.
She already exists.

00:22:19.504 --> 00:22:20.547 align:center
Let's see.

00:22:21.757 --> 00:22:27.429 align:center
So the next decision that I made
was to be a mom and to take care of her.

00:22:28.430 --> 00:22:31.141 align:center
And anyway, with or without me,

00:22:31.224 --> 00:22:34.186 align:center
it's something she's going to learn
how to deal with,

00:22:34.269 --> 00:22:36.521 align:center
so it's better if we do it together.

00:22:37.439 --> 00:22:39.608 align:center
My letter of commitment.

00:22:41.902 --> 00:22:44.154 align:center
"To treat the child with dignity."

00:22:44.237 --> 00:22:47.324 align:center
"To guarantee her
a healthy and violence-free environment."

00:22:48.367 --> 00:22:52.287 align:center
"Provide her with healthy, nutritious food
appropriate for her age."

00:22:53.121 --> 00:22:57.376 align:center
I decided, and I think she also decided

00:22:57.459 --> 00:22:59.169 align:center
that I would be her mom.

00:23:01.838 --> 00:23:04.424 align:center
And now the two of us are together.

00:23:05.926 --> 00:23:09.930 align:center
And that's good for us.
It makes us strong, and it makes us happy.

00:23:11.431 --> 00:23:13.558 align:center
I see that you're eating.

00:23:13.642 --> 00:23:15.394 align:center
Oh, the donuts!

00:23:17.687 --> 00:23:20.107 align:center
And the joy that we feel is not only mine,

00:23:20.190 --> 00:23:23.068 align:center
but is shared
with everyone here that I work with.

00:23:23.151 --> 00:23:28.448 align:center
Oh, her inflatable patrol car,
courtesy of the commander.

00:23:28.532 --> 00:23:33.453 align:center
We work in a stressful environment.
When we say 24/7, we mean it.

00:23:44.840 --> 00:23:47.300 align:center
Her friends at the funeral were the key.

00:23:48.927 --> 00:23:54.099 align:center
When we start our investigation, we state
the problem and form a hypothesis.

00:23:54.182 --> 00:23:57.602 align:center
Well, he was the last person
who was with her, he and his partner,

00:23:57.686 --> 00:23:59.437 align:center
the last ones who were at his home,

00:23:59.521 --> 00:24:02.732 align:center
so logically, that's where
we have to start investigating.

00:24:04.234 --> 00:24:07.404 align:center
We went to the restaurant,
and they gave us the video.

00:24:14.661 --> 00:24:17.789 align:center
We saw that when they left,
they were a little drunk.

00:24:28.967 --> 00:24:31.011 align:center
We saw the route they took to his place.

00:24:32.304 --> 00:24:35.056 align:center
We talked to the manager,
and we told her in legal terms

00:24:35.140 --> 00:24:37.559 align:center
that we needed the CCTV footage.

00:24:37.642 --> 00:24:39.769 align:center
We brought a warrant and everything,

00:24:39.853 --> 00:24:43.231 align:center
and told her that if she refused,
we would not leave.

00:24:45.484 --> 00:24:47.527 align:center
They gave us access without hesitation.

00:24:47.611 --> 00:24:48.862 align:center
1. SITE PROTECTION

00:24:55.118 --> 00:24:57.495 align:center
And we observed that the SUV arrives

00:24:57.579 --> 00:25:00.081 align:center
at the entrance of the parking lot.

00:25:00.165 --> 00:25:03.168 align:center
It parks, and all the people
who were in there get out.

00:25:13.220 --> 00:25:15.263 align:center
Vanessa, Rautel,

00:25:15.347 --> 00:25:19.017 align:center
the other lady they were with,
and Rautel's brother got out.

00:25:19.100 --> 00:25:21.186 align:center
You can see them all getting out.

00:25:21.686 --> 00:25:24.731 align:center
Afterwards, minutes later,
we see these people leaving.

00:25:29.069 --> 00:25:33.323 align:center
Of course, we were able to confirm
that the only people remaining inside

00:25:33.823 --> 00:25:37.577 align:center
were the victim, Rautel, and Miss Vanessa.

00:25:40.789 --> 00:25:42.374 align:center
I texted Vanessa,

00:25:42.457 --> 00:25:45.877 align:center
and she told me, "She took a cab and left.
I think it was an Uber."

00:25:45.961 --> 00:25:48.213 align:center
I said, "Do you know
who ordered it for her?"

00:25:48.296 --> 00:25:50.257 align:center
Because she didn't use Uber.

00:25:50.340 --> 00:25:54.511 align:center
So she says to me,
"No, I really didn't notice."

00:25:55.011 --> 00:25:58.181 align:center
"But all I know is that she left."

00:26:01.434 --> 00:26:03.395 align:center
We kept checking to see if she had left

00:26:03.478 --> 00:26:06.106 align:center
and how she had gotten to Morelos,
because we still didn't know.

00:26:06.189 --> 00:26:09.442 align:center
We had been at it about ten
or twelve hours, and we saw nothing.

00:26:09.526 --> 00:26:12.237 align:center
It's one of those times when you start
getting tired and you think,

00:26:12.320 --> 00:26:14.614 align:center
"Did I miss her? Did she leave?
What happened?" Right?

00:26:17.325 --> 00:26:20.328 align:center
And then at approximately 11:00 a.m.,

00:26:20.412 --> 00:26:24.582 align:center
we see that Rautel comes out
carrying the victim over his shoulder.

00:26:49.816 --> 00:26:52.152 align:center
We saw him put her
in the vehicle they came in.

00:26:52.235 --> 00:26:53.570 align:center
Yeah.

00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:07.167 align:center
We expected them to take her out
during the early morning. Remember?

00:27:07.250 --> 00:27:09.336 align:center
-Of course.
-Not in broad daylight.

00:27:17.385 --> 00:27:19.429 align:center
Later, using phone records,

00:27:19.512 --> 00:27:22.807 align:center
we verified the route he took
and where he dumped her.

00:27:27.270 --> 00:27:30.231 align:center
Which matched exactly
with the CCTV cameras

00:27:30.315 --> 00:27:31.733 align:center
when we saw him leave.

00:27:31.816 --> 00:27:34.069 align:center
Then the cell phone records confirmed

00:27:34.152 --> 00:27:36.863 align:center
that he was the one
who we saw leaving the scene.

00:27:40.241 --> 00:27:43.411 align:center
They go to Morelos
and that's where they dump the body,

00:27:43.495 --> 00:27:46.539 align:center
leaving it exposed and abandoned,
and that's where it was found.

00:27:56.549 --> 00:27:59.135 align:center
ARIADNA WAS A VICTIM OF FEMICIDE

00:28:01.763 --> 00:28:04.265 align:center
CDMX ATTORNEY'S OFFICE CALLED FOR
NOT REVICTIMIZING THE FAMILY

00:28:04.349 --> 00:28:06.267 align:center
She left on her own.

00:28:06.351 --> 00:28:09.187 align:center
You didn't see what happened
after she left your apartment?

00:28:09.270 --> 00:28:10.313 align:center
No.

00:28:13.233 --> 00:28:16.444 align:center
After seeing all this in the news,
he fled, just like his girlfriend.

00:28:16.528 --> 00:28:20.740 align:center
Then the search was carried out
in the apartment.

00:28:20.824 --> 00:28:22.909 align:center
CIRCUMSTANTIAL RECORD
SEARCH WARRANT

00:28:25.328 --> 00:28:28.081 align:center
Since we had already determined
the cause of death,

00:28:28.164 --> 00:28:30.125 align:center
which was multiple traumatic injuries,

00:28:30.208 --> 00:28:34.212 align:center
next we would look for blood, since
there were clear indications of violence.

00:28:34.295 --> 00:28:35.880 align:center
FORENSIC SERVICES CONDUCT ANALYSIS

00:28:35.964 --> 00:28:39.759 align:center
We applied a little luminol,
and there was like a small rug.

00:28:39.843 --> 00:28:41.428 align:center
Here, I have the photo.

00:28:44.848 --> 00:28:49.561 align:center
And I remember that the spot
where the luminol showed the brightest

00:28:49.644 --> 00:28:53.356 align:center
was in one of the rooms,
on the door knob, specifically.

00:28:57.402 --> 00:29:01.906 align:center
We found some sheets
that had some bloodstains on them,

00:29:01.990 --> 00:29:04.325 align:center
and that obviously confirmed to us

00:29:04.409 --> 00:29:07.454 align:center
that they were linked
to Ariadna's femicide.

00:29:11.207 --> 00:29:15.128 align:center
We concluded the search of the apartment,
and gathered all the evidence we had,

00:29:15.211 --> 00:29:19.632 align:center
leaving us with no doubt that the events
had occurred here in this building.

00:29:19.716 --> 00:29:23.219 align:center
The cameras confirmed that once she went
into the building with them,

00:29:23.303 --> 00:29:26.097 align:center
she never came out again
until he carried her out.

00:29:33.938 --> 00:29:35.523 align:center
FEMICIDE BY
STABBING - BEATING - GUNSHOT

00:29:35.607 --> 00:29:39.444 align:center
They gave her a brutal beating,
and that's what ended her life,

00:29:40.737 --> 00:29:44.199 align:center
which also shows that in Morelos
they had jumped to the conclusion

00:29:44.282 --> 00:29:46.034 align:center
that this case was not a femicide.

00:29:46.117 --> 00:29:49.579 align:center
They had not even conducted
any on-site inquiries,

00:29:49.662 --> 00:29:53.416 align:center
when they did not have
all of the information regarding the case,

00:29:53.500 --> 00:29:56.628 align:center
yet they were already drawing
these conclusions.

00:30:01.591 --> 00:30:04.594 align:center
Rautel is from Morelos,
and so is his family,

00:30:04.677 --> 00:30:07.222 align:center
so he knew
where he could dump Ariadna's body

00:30:07.305 --> 00:30:10.266 align:center
so that the investigation
would remain in Morelos.

00:30:11.142 --> 00:30:15.355 align:center
We realized it was because he had bribed
the authorities there in Morelos.

00:30:16.022 --> 00:30:18.483 align:center
He is a powerful
and wealthy man with bodyguards,

00:30:18.566 --> 00:30:21.903 align:center
who was escorted by two SUVs.

00:30:21.986 --> 00:30:24.030 align:center
Even in the place where I used to work,

00:30:24.113 --> 00:30:25.240 align:center
you would see Rautel

00:30:25.323 --> 00:30:28.117 align:center
with Johnnie Walker Blue Scotch
on the table,

00:30:28.201 --> 00:30:30.912 align:center
with eight bottles of Don Julio 70,

00:30:30.995 --> 00:30:33.623 align:center
with the table
full of Black Pearls, I mean…

00:30:33.706 --> 00:30:36.000 align:center
I brought him bills
as high as 60,000 pesos.

00:30:36.084 --> 00:30:39.045 align:center
He was so confident
in his connections and his money

00:30:39.128 --> 00:30:42.048 align:center
that he wasn't worried
about carrying Ariadna's body

00:30:42.131 --> 00:30:45.718 align:center
in broad daylight, knowing
that there were cameras recording him.

00:30:46.386 --> 00:30:48.471 align:center
Because he knew
he could buy those cameras,

00:30:48.555 --> 00:30:51.724 align:center
he could buy people off,
and nothing would happen to him.

00:30:59.107 --> 00:31:02.110 align:center
We went to Morelos
because we had to give our statements

00:31:02.193 --> 00:31:05.029 align:center
as to who Ari had been with
and everything.

00:31:06.739 --> 00:31:09.075 align:center
We got there, and the officer told me,

00:31:09.158 --> 00:31:12.996 align:center
"If you don't leave your cell phone here,
you're going to have problems,

00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:15.915 align:center
because if I want to,
I can arrest you right now."

00:31:15.999 --> 00:31:17.959 align:center
I said, "But I'm not doing anything."

00:31:18.042 --> 00:31:21.045 align:center
He said, "I'm warning you,
and I'm telling you now,

00:31:21.129 --> 00:31:23.673 align:center
Rautel is already here,
just so you know."

00:31:27.552 --> 00:31:30.179 align:center
I walked out
and told the others, "Let's go."

00:31:30.263 --> 00:31:31.639 align:center
"Why?" "Let's go."

00:31:31.723 --> 00:31:33.725 align:center
And while I'm telling them to leave,

00:31:33.808 --> 00:31:36.686 align:center
one of the officers runs over
and locks us in,

00:31:36.769 --> 00:31:38.855 align:center
locks the padlock on the door,

00:31:38.938 --> 00:31:40.940 align:center
and the other one grabs the gun.

00:31:55.204 --> 00:31:59.125 align:center
For me, working inside the state

00:31:59.208 --> 00:32:01.586 align:center
has meant getting to know
the inner workings

00:32:01.669 --> 00:32:04.130 align:center
of institutionalized violence.

00:32:05.632 --> 00:32:08.051 align:center
One of my colleagues once said to me,

00:32:08.134 --> 00:32:14.349 align:center
"Sayuri, the system is designed
to ensure we never get justice."

00:32:15.391 --> 00:32:18.311 align:center
That's why there is impunity
despite everything.

00:32:20.813 --> 00:32:23.483 align:center
And so, what that means

00:32:23.983 --> 00:32:27.654 align:center
is that we have to build everything
from the ground up.

00:32:30.073 --> 00:32:32.659 align:center
This is Mommy's office.

00:32:34.369 --> 00:32:36.412 align:center
It's Mommy's office.

00:32:37.163 --> 00:32:41.751 align:center
And… through all of this,

00:32:41.834 --> 00:32:44.045 align:center
there are so many women,

00:32:44.545 --> 00:32:46.589 align:center
mothers of the victims,

00:32:47.340 --> 00:32:52.762 align:center
who have been able to see beyond all
of the things that we still need to do.

00:32:55.306 --> 00:32:58.810 align:center
Well, I think that they are the ones
who always give us a break,

00:32:59.769 --> 00:33:03.147 align:center
and they tell us
that we can still do a little more.

00:33:07.485 --> 00:33:10.405 align:center
Welcome, everyone, to this space

00:33:10.488 --> 00:33:14.200 align:center
where we can support you here
with joy and sorrow.

00:33:14.283 --> 00:33:17.120 align:center
Thank you very much for being here today.

00:33:17.620 --> 00:33:21.457 align:center
Always, always, always take advantage
of this space

00:33:21.541 --> 00:33:24.043 align:center
to tell us something
that might be very urgent,

00:33:24.127 --> 00:33:28.089 align:center
anything that is worrying you
about your cases, okay?

00:33:28.172 --> 00:33:31.175 align:center
Otherwise, what is the point
of our meeting here?

00:33:31.259 --> 00:33:32.510 align:center
I mean, we need to know.

00:33:32.593 --> 00:33:36.055 align:center
We want to know
how your cases are progressing.

00:33:36.139 --> 00:33:38.850 align:center
My daughter had two jobs,

00:33:39.434 --> 00:33:41.936 align:center
but since she couldn't get custody,

00:33:42.020 --> 00:33:44.814 align:center
there's no pension for my grandchildren.

00:33:45.648 --> 00:33:49.736 align:center
The judges revictimize us
on this issue of reparation of damages.

00:33:50.236 --> 00:33:54.866 align:center
They even tell us
that what we're looking for is like, uh…

00:33:56.492 --> 00:34:01.080 align:center
Like a reward or something, you know?
Some kind of monetary gain.

00:34:01.164 --> 00:34:03.541 align:center
What happens after a sentence?

00:34:04.417 --> 00:34:09.297 align:center
Especially when we already have sentences,
several sentences, right? Then what?

00:34:10.006 --> 00:34:12.258 align:center
At the end of last year, I believe,

00:34:12.341 --> 00:34:14.844 align:center
they came and closed
the Prosecutor's Office.

00:34:14.927 --> 00:34:17.054 align:center
That wasn't about the investigations.

00:34:17.138 --> 00:34:21.017 align:center
It was about reparation of damages.
And it's not a complaint.

00:34:21.100 --> 00:34:23.269 align:center
That day, I mean, we were very surprised,

00:34:23.352 --> 00:34:25.938 align:center
and we were wondering, "What happened?"

00:34:26.022 --> 00:34:27.648 align:center
We realized that, of course,

00:34:27.732 --> 00:34:30.234 align:center
since sentences
have already been handed down,

00:34:30.318 --> 00:34:32.195 align:center
we're already making progress.

00:34:32.278 --> 00:34:35.114 align:center
During those processes,
adequate attention is needed,

00:34:35.198 --> 00:34:37.992 align:center
so we are already proposing
other things, right?

00:34:40.411 --> 00:34:44.916 align:center
While we're on the subject, I want to say
that I do know how to claim my rights.

00:34:44.999 --> 00:34:47.210 align:center
But I also want to express my gratitude

00:34:47.293 --> 00:34:50.254 align:center
for the work and the support
that has been provided here, okay?

00:34:50.338 --> 00:34:52.256 align:center
Here, I'm not just a case number.

00:34:52.340 --> 00:34:56.928 align:center
Here, I'm not just case 291. I'm Yeritza.

00:34:57.428 --> 00:35:00.681 align:center
And the fact that you know
each of our individual cases

00:35:00.765 --> 00:35:02.934 align:center
makes us feel more dignified

00:35:03.017 --> 00:35:06.312 align:center
within the limits of what can be expected
in a process such as this.

00:35:07.897 --> 00:35:12.318 align:center
Well, it somehow brings me comfort
just to know that other families

00:35:12.401 --> 00:35:16.405 align:center
won't have to go through
all of those procedures that we did.

00:35:16.906 --> 00:35:19.450 align:center
And yet the threat is always there

00:35:19.534 --> 00:35:24.163 align:center
because, in the end,
public officials will come and go.

00:35:24.664 --> 00:35:26.707 align:center
And ultimately, we have no idea

00:35:26.791 --> 00:35:30.336 align:center
whether they will be able
to deliver justice for us or not.

00:35:31.003 --> 00:35:33.840 align:center
But what we do know
is that we're already here.

00:35:34.674 --> 00:35:35.842 align:center
Baby.

00:35:36.676 --> 00:35:38.511 align:center
Who's that? It's Lucy.

00:35:38.594 --> 00:35:40.429 align:center
How are you?

00:35:40.513 --> 00:35:42.807 align:center
We had some very challenging months.

00:35:42.890 --> 00:35:45.143 align:center
-The police called me yesterday.
-Oh, they did?

00:35:53.901 --> 00:35:57.780 align:center
Early this morning, detectives
from the Investigative Police division

00:35:57.864 --> 00:36:01.200 align:center
executed an arrest warrant for Vanessa N.

00:36:03.995 --> 00:36:07.165 align:center
She was arrested in Ecatepec,
transferred to Mexico City,

00:36:07.248 --> 00:36:09.584 align:center
and then she was taken
to Santa Martha Prison.

00:36:17.091 --> 00:36:20.011 align:center
And then, a few days later,
at four in the morning,

00:36:20.094 --> 00:36:23.806 align:center
I was asleep at home
when a commander from Monterrey called me.

00:36:25.933 --> 00:36:29.812 align:center
He says, "Commander Casillas, guess what?
We have a person here named Rautel."

00:36:29.896 --> 00:36:32.231 align:center
I said, "No way,
I have a warrant for his arrest."

00:36:32.315 --> 00:36:34.567 align:center
He says, "Yes, he came
to turn himself in."

00:36:34.650 --> 00:36:38.112 align:center
I talked to my director. They immediately
got me a flight to Monterrey.

00:36:38.196 --> 00:36:39.655 align:center
I flew to Monterrey.

00:36:43.242 --> 00:36:47.997 align:center
When he saw me, he was really surprised,
and he said, "What are you doing here?"

00:36:50.791 --> 00:36:54.462 align:center
And I said, "I gave you a chance
to tell me the truth back in Mexico City,

00:36:54.545 --> 00:36:57.882 align:center
and you didn't want to,
and look, here are the results."

00:36:58.758 --> 00:37:01.344 align:center
"You know we already apprehended
your girlfriend in the city,

00:37:01.427 --> 00:37:02.762 align:center
and that's why you ran."

00:37:03.429 --> 00:37:05.056 align:center
So he was surprised to see me,

00:37:05.139 --> 00:37:08.935 align:center
and for me, it was exciting
because here, he was making fun of me.

00:37:09.018 --> 00:37:12.355 align:center
Here's where he said to me,
"No, I'm not gonna tell you anything."

00:37:12.438 --> 00:37:14.273 align:center
And he told me to get lost, right?

00:37:14.357 --> 00:37:18.194 align:center
And when I saw him there, I said,
"I'm here for you now. Now it's my turn."

00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:27.870 align:center
Our commander returned with Rautel
later on a flight from Monterrey.

00:37:27.954 --> 00:37:31.165 align:center
And he shared
some of their conversations with us.

00:37:32.041 --> 00:37:36.879 align:center
Our people also refused
bribery propositions.

00:37:37.380 --> 00:37:39.840 align:center
"I'll give you six million," he said.
I said, "No way."

00:37:39.924 --> 00:37:42.885 align:center
I asked, "How much
did you give over there?" "Five."

00:37:43.803 --> 00:37:46.597 align:center
I said, "Fuck, all for nothing, asshole."

00:37:48.516 --> 00:37:51.519 align:center
He said, "Get me off the plane
and find someone who looks like me."

00:37:52.478 --> 00:37:53.729 align:center
I mean…

00:37:56.524 --> 00:38:01.862 align:center
So what was revealed to us
during the course of the investigation?

00:38:03.781 --> 00:38:07.493 align:center
That… the perpetrator

00:38:08.160 --> 00:38:11.622 align:center
had a relationship
with authorities in Morelos.

00:38:12.415 --> 00:38:16.669 align:center
Obviously, all of this was communicated
at the time to the head of government,

00:38:16.752 --> 00:38:18.504 align:center
Dr. Claudia Sheinbaum.

00:38:20.464 --> 00:38:23.467 align:center
If the General Prosecutor's
Office of Justice in Mexico City

00:38:23.551 --> 00:38:27.430 align:center
had not intervened,
this femicide would have gone unpunished.

00:38:28.139 --> 00:38:30.349 align:center
And the question is, how is it possible

00:38:31.350 --> 00:38:33.894 align:center
that there is a prosecutor
who covers this up?

00:38:36.355 --> 00:38:38.232 align:center
Deliberately, in my opinion.

00:38:41.736 --> 00:38:44.322 align:center
I can tell you, with great respect
for the head of government,

00:38:44.405 --> 00:38:46.073 align:center
for the Mexico City prosecutor,

00:38:46.157 --> 00:38:49.410 align:center
that it is impossible for us
to cover up for anyone.

00:38:50.536 --> 00:38:52.038 align:center
We worked with what we had.

00:38:52.121 --> 00:38:54.915 align:center
And that was reflected
in the autopsy report

00:38:54.999 --> 00:38:57.335 align:center
that we consider to be very well done.

00:39:06.093 --> 00:39:10.473 align:center
There were
so many illegal, outrageous things

00:39:10.556 --> 00:39:12.683 align:center
that happened around that case.

00:39:12.767 --> 00:39:15.436 align:center
They violated
the human rights of the families,

00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:17.813 align:center
and of Ariadna herself, didn't they?

00:39:18.606 --> 00:39:22.109 align:center
And we felt that the actions
of the Morelos prosecutor

00:39:22.193 --> 00:39:24.111 align:center
could not go unpunished either.

00:39:24.695 --> 00:39:28.866 align:center
We made all of our arguments
available to the judges.

00:39:29.700 --> 00:39:31.619 align:center
And the judges agreed with us.

00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:34.038 align:center
They gave us an arrest warrant.

00:39:34.538 --> 00:39:36.374 align:center
MEN'S PREEMPTIVE DETENTION CENTER

00:39:38.667 --> 00:39:40.711 align:center
Can you show it to me,
and I'll go with you?

00:39:41.337 --> 00:39:45.633 align:center
This is an arrest warrant
for Uriel Carmona Gándara.

00:39:46.258 --> 00:39:48.344 align:center
Come in, partner. You know me, right?

00:39:48.427 --> 00:39:50.179 align:center
I do. We're colleagues.

00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:53.015 align:center
This could happen to anyone, right?

00:39:53.099 --> 00:39:55.559 align:center
-I'm turning myself in voluntarily.
-You're live.

00:39:55.643 --> 00:39:59.814 align:center
The arresting authorities have committed
to not breaking into my home.

00:40:04.902 --> 00:40:08.572 align:center
And we also thought it was
a very powerful message for the country,

00:40:09.532 --> 00:40:11.534 align:center
that there will be penalties.

00:40:11.617 --> 00:40:13.244 align:center
URIEL CARMONA IS ARRESTED

00:40:15.162 --> 00:40:17.706 align:center
What's going on?
Where is the constitutional immunity?

00:40:17.790 --> 00:40:20.501 align:center
Where are the guarantees?
The constitution is being violated.

00:40:20.584 --> 00:40:22.920 align:center
-What's your opinion?
-Honestly, yes, Pepe.

00:40:23.003 --> 00:40:25.923 align:center
It questions all other
autonomous prosecutors in the country

00:40:26.006 --> 00:40:28.092 align:center
who might be in the same situation.

00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:35.349 align:center
I was harshly criticized
by some prosecutors. Yes.

00:40:35.433 --> 00:40:37.476 align:center
It is a risk. Yes, it's a risk.

00:40:37.560 --> 00:40:40.104 align:center
You even risk your political career.

00:40:46.235 --> 00:40:48.404 align:center
The session is called to order.

00:40:48.487 --> 00:40:49.947 align:center
The next item on the agenda

00:40:50.030 --> 00:40:53.409 align:center
is the discussion and, if applicable,

00:40:53.492 --> 00:40:56.078 align:center
approval of the proposal
for the ratification

00:40:56.162 --> 00:40:58.998 align:center
of citizen Ernestina Godoy Ramos

00:40:59.081 --> 00:41:02.501 align:center
as head of the Attorney General's Office
of Mexico City.

00:41:04.170 --> 00:41:08.382 align:center
If they are really not afraid of voting,
let them vote.

00:41:08.466 --> 00:41:11.677 align:center
Let them use their finger
to show Ernestina Godoy

00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:13.262 align:center
if they'll ratify her or not.

00:41:18.309 --> 00:41:21.270 align:center
Is there any member
who has not yet cast their vote?

00:41:23.689 --> 00:41:26.108 align:center
ATTENDANCE LIST

00:41:26.192 --> 00:41:31.113 align:center
The open voting system
is now officially closed.

00:41:33.991 --> 00:41:38.287 align:center
Madam President,
the result of the vote is as follows.

00:41:38.370 --> 00:41:43.209 align:center
41 votes in favor,
25 votes against, zero abstentions.

00:41:45.294 --> 00:41:48.297 align:center
After two hours of debate
and an intense confrontation

00:41:48.380 --> 00:41:49.798 align:center
between Morena and the opposition,

00:41:49.882 --> 00:41:53.135 align:center
Godoy is rejected for four more years
in the Prosecutor's Office.

00:41:53.928 --> 00:41:56.805 align:center
It turns out
that Congress must choose a new prosecutor

00:41:56.889 --> 00:41:59.725 align:center
for a four-year term
with the option of one more term,

00:41:59.808 --> 00:42:02.394 align:center
something Ernestina Godoy didn't achieve.

00:42:08.734 --> 00:42:13.864 align:center
On the day
that prosecutor Ernestina Godoy left,

00:42:15.157 --> 00:42:19.036 align:center
she told me,
"Sayuri, be careful of everyone."

00:42:20.955 --> 00:42:22.206 align:center
"Everyone."

00:42:24.208 --> 00:42:28.003 align:center
Because I was being left alone.
That's what she said to me.

00:42:29.547 --> 00:42:30.839 align:center
And she was right.

00:42:34.301 --> 00:42:38.305 align:center
They appointed the wife
of the Morelos prosecutor as magistrate.

00:42:44.687 --> 00:42:48.357 align:center
The Congress of Morelos appointed
the ten new magistrates

00:42:48.440 --> 00:42:51.777 align:center
of the Superior Court of Justice
of the State of Morelos.

00:42:51.860 --> 00:42:52.861 align:center
Okay, I get it.

00:42:52.945 --> 00:42:56.031 align:center
Among them is the wife
of the Morelos prosecutor.

00:42:56.532 --> 00:42:58.867 align:center
-Isn't that a conflict of interest?
-The privilege.

00:42:58.951 --> 00:43:02.162 align:center
Yes, but… they don't care.

00:43:12.172 --> 00:43:16.176 align:center
At 9:48,
Uriel Carmona, prosecutor for Morelos,

00:43:16.260 --> 00:43:18.220 align:center
was released through the main gate

00:43:18.304 --> 00:43:21.473 align:center
of the Altiplano Prison
in the State of Mexico.

00:43:21.557 --> 00:43:23.058 align:center
This happened yesterday.

00:43:23.142 --> 00:43:26.770 align:center
His lawyers reported that the high court
ordered his immediate release.

00:43:26.854 --> 00:43:30.399 align:center
In the President's office,
they weren't happy with this release.

00:43:31.650 --> 00:43:35.529 align:center
In a trial, there's always
a winner and there's always a loser.

00:43:36.447 --> 00:43:38.032 align:center
No, it's not a defeat.

00:43:38.532 --> 00:43:41.285 align:center
This is not over. It's not over, okay?

00:43:41.785 --> 00:43:43.537 align:center
I don't think we can say,

00:43:43.621 --> 00:43:47.082 align:center
"He's free, and these crimes
are going to go unpunished."

00:43:47.166 --> 00:43:49.418 align:center
I don't know. I don't think so.

00:43:51.128 --> 00:43:54.381 align:center
I mean, there can be dire
or negative consequences

00:43:54.465 --> 00:43:58.510 align:center
for what you're doing
because you're doing it in a framework

00:43:58.594 --> 00:44:01.430 align:center
where there is corruption
and people who are malicious.

00:44:01.513 --> 00:44:05.392 align:center
Of course, I was expecting
a different outcome. You know?

00:44:05.893 --> 00:44:11.357 align:center
But… but in the end,
each of these battles is important.

00:44:18.947 --> 00:44:21.909 align:center
I believe that, as they say,
fear has to change sides.

00:44:21.992 --> 00:44:25.287 align:center
And if we don't speak up
for the people who are no longer here,

00:44:25.371 --> 00:44:27.081 align:center
then they will never be heard.

00:44:31.585 --> 00:44:33.379 align:center
Rautel and Vanessa are in jail,

00:44:33.462 --> 00:44:35.589 align:center
but Uriel and the members
of the Prosecutor's Office

00:44:35.673 --> 00:44:38.092 align:center
who lied for him are still at large.

00:44:38.175 --> 00:44:41.887 align:center
URIEL CARMONA
CORRUPT - ACCOMPLICE OF THE CRIMINAL

00:44:41.970 --> 00:44:45.224 align:center
MURDERER - LIAR - ACCOMPLICE

00:44:45.307 --> 00:44:46.600 align:center
They're colluding.

00:44:46.683 --> 00:44:49.019 align:center
It's not the first time
they've done something like this.

00:44:49.103 --> 00:44:51.355 align:center
I mean, just because this came to light,

00:44:51.438 --> 00:44:54.024 align:center
I got emails and messages
from girls who told me,

00:44:54.108 --> 00:44:58.112 align:center
"The same thing happened to my mom,
the same thing happened to my friend."

00:44:58.195 --> 00:45:01.573 align:center
"But out of fear, I never spoke up.
I didn't do anything."

00:45:01.657 --> 00:45:05.994 align:center
Because it is scary. I moved
because Rautel knows everything about me.

00:45:08.914 --> 00:45:12.710 align:center
HERE FOR ARIADNA
BECAUSE VANESSA FLORES KILLED HER

00:45:12.793 --> 00:45:18.799 align:center
ARI, SISTER
HERE IS YOUR PACK!!

00:45:18.882 --> 00:45:21.844 align:center
For us, it's very important
that the case remains alive,

00:45:21.927 --> 00:45:24.930 align:center
that it's not forgotten like
many other femicides have been forgotten.

00:45:25.013 --> 00:45:29.309 align:center
Usually, when a relative or a friend dies,
you mourn for them,

00:45:29.393 --> 00:45:33.814 align:center
you go through all of that,
you cry, and you accept it.

00:45:33.897 --> 00:45:37.192 align:center
But for us, Ariadna was taken from us.

00:45:37.276 --> 00:45:39.903 align:center
I was personally devastated
for a whole day.

00:45:39.987 --> 00:45:42.656 align:center
And the next day,
I had to go out and scream.

00:45:42.740 --> 00:45:44.283 align:center
I had to go out and fight.

00:45:44.783 --> 00:45:48.036 align:center
We won't be able to mourn
until we get justice.

00:46:00.883 --> 00:46:02.676 align:center
These were her favorite flowers.

00:46:02.759 --> 00:46:05.554 align:center
-And she was always posting.
-That she wanted her…

00:46:05.637 --> 00:46:08.015 align:center
She was like,
"Who will bring me sunflowers?"

00:46:09.224 --> 00:46:11.059 align:center
I remember that she posted a meme

00:46:11.143 --> 00:46:13.562 align:center
that someone should get
a tattoo of her face,

00:46:13.645 --> 00:46:16.148 align:center
like those who have Belinda's face
tattooed or something.

00:46:16.231 --> 00:46:19.818 align:center
-Yeah!
-And now we're branded like cattle.

00:46:19.902 --> 00:46:23.280 align:center
-I have her name on my knee.
-On your knee, right?

00:46:23.363 --> 00:46:25.783 align:center
And Nat has her name
that I tattooed on her.

00:46:25.866 --> 00:46:28.619 align:center
She was crying, but I don't know
if she was crying for Ari.

00:46:28.702 --> 00:46:30.871 align:center
-Or because I was the one doing it.
-I don't know.

00:46:30.954 --> 00:46:33.832 align:center
-I was crying horribly.
-She had mixed emotions.

00:46:36.502 --> 00:46:39.129 align:center
Ari always wanted
all her friends to get along.

00:46:39.213 --> 00:46:43.342 align:center
I think she even wanted to throw
a huge party for 500 people.

00:46:45.302 --> 00:46:47.179 align:center
I remember when I took her
on my motorcycle.

00:46:47.262 --> 00:46:48.263 align:center
She was so happy.

00:46:48.347 --> 00:46:51.683 align:center
She said to me, "Take a picture of me,
take a picture of me."

00:46:57.147 --> 00:47:00.067 align:center
I remember she wanted
to get false eyelashes, right?

00:47:00.150 --> 00:47:02.819 align:center
I'll never forget when she came back
from getting them done

00:47:02.903 --> 00:47:04.530 align:center
with these huge eyelashes.

00:47:04.613 --> 00:47:07.574 align:center
She was like, "Oh no, girl!
I look like a Baby Jesus doll!"

00:47:16.333 --> 00:47:19.795 align:center
And I believe the best way
to honor her is to keep that going,

00:47:19.878 --> 00:47:21.880 align:center
I mean, to have
a little bit of her in us.

00:47:21.964 --> 00:47:23.966 align:center
-Exactly.
-You're right, girl.

00:47:24.049 --> 00:47:26.260 align:center
To have a little bit of her in us.

00:48:34.077 --> 00:48:35.746 align:center
These processes we go through,

00:48:35.829 --> 00:48:38.832 align:center
I mean, we all know
that they can take years and years.

00:48:39.541 --> 00:48:43.378 align:center
When I come to the Prosecutor's Office
or go to the prison,

00:48:43.462 --> 00:48:46.506 align:center
I don't even look
at the subway stops anymore.

00:48:46.590 --> 00:48:49.051 align:center
My head already knows when to get off.

00:48:51.845 --> 00:48:57.809 align:center
And there are those times when we feel
that justice will never be served,

00:48:58.393 --> 00:49:00.687 align:center
and that our lives will be just that,

00:49:00.771 --> 00:49:02.648 align:center
going around and around,

00:49:02.731 --> 00:49:06.777 align:center
and fighting and defending ourselves
all the time.

00:49:22.167 --> 00:49:25.962 align:center
Sayuri often told me
that the best therapy is justice.

00:49:26.046 --> 00:49:29.466 align:center
And I was always like,
"Yes, Sayuri, but what's the point?"

00:49:31.259 --> 00:49:33.845 align:center
And when I heard those words,
they stayed with me,

00:49:33.929 --> 00:49:36.723 align:center
"Mr. Alberto, you will remain in custody."

00:49:38.308 --> 00:49:39.726 align:center
It was beautiful.

00:49:40.227 --> 00:49:44.106 align:center
And I felt like something
that had been broken in me,

00:49:44.189 --> 00:49:46.608 align:center
and I didn't even know what it was,

00:49:46.692 --> 00:49:48.568 align:center
it came back together.

00:49:56.076 --> 00:49:58.995 align:center
I thought waking up
80 times a night was normal,

00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:00.664 align:center
and everyone slept like that.

00:50:02.124 --> 00:50:05.085 align:center
And ever since I found out
that he's in prison,

00:50:05.168 --> 00:50:07.796 align:center
I've slept through the night
this whole week.

00:50:07.879 --> 00:50:10.924 align:center
And for me, that's something surprising

00:50:11.008 --> 00:50:14.011 align:center
and that I didn't even know
it could be possible.

00:50:14.094 --> 00:50:17.097 align:center
Being able to sleep
all the way through the night

00:50:17.639 --> 00:50:19.766 align:center
without waking up is a wonderful thing.

00:50:19.850 --> 00:50:23.061 align:center
And yes, Sayuri is right,
the best therapy is justice.

00:50:23.145 --> 00:50:25.022 align:center
It can take time to arrive, but it does,

00:50:25.105 --> 00:50:29.860 align:center
and by persevering, and by continuing
and continuing and continuing,

00:50:29.943 --> 00:50:31.319 align:center
it did heal something.

00:50:39.161 --> 00:50:42.080 align:center
I thought it was also important

00:50:43.874 --> 00:50:45.792 align:center
to see you here today

00:50:46.585 --> 00:50:47.836 align:center
because…

00:50:49.463 --> 00:50:54.051 align:center
I also wanted to share with you all
some decisions we've made.

00:51:00.265 --> 00:51:04.311 align:center
I received an invitation
from the Women's Secretariat

00:51:04.394 --> 00:51:06.104 align:center
to become a part of their team,

00:51:06.188 --> 00:51:12.194 align:center
to participate in the implementation
of gender-specialized prosecuting offices

00:51:12.277 --> 00:51:13.945 align:center
in all states.

00:51:14.029 --> 00:51:17.824 align:center
And I wanted to share with you
that I accepted the invitation.

00:51:19.493 --> 00:51:24.539 align:center
I am concerned, I am moved
by the cases that we handle.

00:51:24.623 --> 00:51:28.668 align:center
And I am not here for the position,
but for the cause.

00:51:30.462 --> 00:51:33.924 align:center
And my cause, yes, is women and girls.

00:51:34.591 --> 00:51:37.052 align:center
I'd like to know if you're leaving
because of the pressure,

00:51:37.135 --> 00:51:39.888 align:center
because we can help you cope
with that pressure.

00:51:40.764 --> 00:51:44.017 align:center
I mean, since we have faced
our aggressors for years,

00:51:44.100 --> 00:51:47.562 align:center
since we have defended our lives,
and the lives of other women,

00:51:47.646 --> 00:51:50.315 align:center
then we can also face this.

00:51:50.816 --> 00:51:54.694 align:center
We all know perfectly well
that this is also the trade-off

00:51:54.778 --> 00:51:56.613 align:center
to what we have fought for.

00:51:57.114 --> 00:52:00.075 align:center
Because we're not stupid. We recognize it.

00:52:00.575 --> 00:52:04.162 align:center
But we would really like to know
what led you to make your…

00:52:04.246 --> 00:52:07.082 align:center
-Your decision.
-Yes, to make your decision.

00:52:07.582 --> 00:52:10.210 align:center
If that's the case, we can handle it too.

00:52:10.293 --> 00:52:12.754 align:center
We do it in the streets.
We do it in the protests.

00:52:12.838 --> 00:52:16.174 align:center
We do it in the prisons,
so we can do it here too.

00:52:17.092 --> 00:52:20.178 align:center
Yes, Say, you have to understand
that you are not alone,

00:52:20.262 --> 00:52:22.138 align:center
that you have us to support you.

00:52:23.557 --> 00:52:25.892 align:center
Because for us, this is also…

00:52:26.393 --> 00:52:28.937 align:center
Even this news is frightening to us.

00:52:29.437 --> 00:52:32.315 align:center
What's going to happen to us,
to our cases?

00:52:32.399 --> 00:52:34.359 align:center
All the hard work we've put in,

00:52:34.442 --> 00:52:36.194 align:center
not only to create this space,

00:52:36.278 --> 00:52:38.822 align:center
but also working
to integrate our processes,

00:52:38.905 --> 00:52:41.908 align:center
to keep pushing forward for these spaces.

00:52:42.534 --> 00:52:44.870 align:center
Well, where do we stand?

00:52:48.290 --> 00:52:50.750 align:center
I know you're scared, Yeri.

00:52:52.085 --> 00:52:53.420 align:center
So am I.

00:52:53.920 --> 00:52:56.298 align:center
And I may be wrong.

00:52:58.592 --> 00:53:02.012 align:center
As I could have been wrong
five years ago, right?

00:53:05.724 --> 00:53:11.271 align:center
I also feel…
that it is time for me to move on.

00:53:11.354 --> 00:53:12.981 align:center
Here so they can see you.

00:53:16.026 --> 00:53:19.487 align:center
We have to fight
for this prosecutor's office.

00:53:20.113 --> 00:53:22.866 align:center
And sometimes inertia is very strong.

00:53:22.949 --> 00:53:27.120 align:center
And there is a tendency
to go back to the way things were.

00:53:28.747 --> 00:53:32.125 align:center
We can't let go of it. I agree with that.

00:53:32.209 --> 00:53:34.669 align:center
But we have to do it collectively.

00:53:35.587 --> 00:53:36.755 align:center
All of us.

00:53:40.800 --> 00:53:43.303 align:center
And I'm also worried about my daughter.

00:53:43.386 --> 00:53:45.430 align:center
She's a year and a half old,

00:53:45.513 --> 00:53:49.059 align:center
and by the time I get home,
she's already asleep.

00:53:49.142 --> 00:53:52.062 align:center
And sometimes
I only see her in the morning.

00:53:55.690 --> 00:53:57.734 align:center
And I want to watch her grow up.

00:54:13.041 --> 00:54:17.587 align:center
Well, I know that the world
that we desire doesn't exist yet.

00:54:17.671 --> 00:54:18.755 align:center
And that…

00:54:19.714 --> 00:54:22.926 align:center
And that it's still going to take
some time to build.

00:54:26.596 --> 00:54:28.515 align:center
One of my decisions, for example, now,

00:54:28.598 --> 00:54:33.019 align:center
is to finish up in the Prosecutor's Office
and to move on to something else,

00:54:33.103 --> 00:54:35.230 align:center
to move forward even through the fear.

00:54:35.313 --> 00:54:36.564 align:center
The worst that can happen

00:54:36.648 --> 00:54:38.817 align:center
is that you don't do well
and you fall down.

00:54:38.900 --> 00:54:40.318 align:center
But we have to keep trying,

00:54:40.402 --> 00:54:42.779 align:center
because otherwise,
nothing will ever get done.

00:54:46.533 --> 00:54:48.201 align:center
Well, comrades,

00:54:48.285 --> 00:54:52.664 align:center
we are here in support
of Sayuri Herrera Román.

00:54:52.747 --> 00:54:56.209 align:center
Our prosecutor! Come out, prosecutor!

00:54:56.292 --> 00:54:59.379 align:center
Our prosecutor, our feminist comrade!

00:54:59.462 --> 00:55:03.216 align:center
We are here to tell Sayuri Herrera Román

00:55:03.299 --> 00:55:06.177 align:center
that she does represent us,
that we love her,

00:55:06.261 --> 00:55:08.930 align:center
and that we are standing with her.

00:55:14.394 --> 00:55:16.813 align:center
As long as there is respect

00:55:16.896 --> 00:55:22.569 align:center
and consideration shown towards all
of the women that I have worked with,

00:55:23.069 --> 00:55:26.281 align:center
for me, that is the compass guiding me

00:55:26.364 --> 00:55:30.535 align:center
along this path
where everything we are doing

00:55:30.618 --> 00:55:33.997 align:center
is still necessary and right.

00:55:34.080 --> 00:55:37.292 align:center
SAYURI DOES REPRESENT US

00:55:37.375 --> 00:55:40.378 align:center
And for me, that is the compass

00:55:40.462 --> 00:55:44.424 align:center
that shows that we can still do
our jobs within the system

00:55:45.050 --> 00:55:46.509 align:center
and within the state.

00:55:53.767 --> 00:55:56.686 align:center
Well, good evening to all of you,

00:55:57.604 --> 00:55:59.314 align:center
to each and every one of you,

00:55:59.397 --> 00:56:01.024 align:center
without exception,

00:56:01.107 --> 00:56:05.070 align:center
and to those who are with us
up in heaven, good evening.

00:56:05.153 --> 00:56:07.822 align:center
We have built so much based on love.

00:56:08.615 --> 00:56:11.034 align:center
And our hopes are not limited…

00:56:13.578 --> 00:56:15.789 align:center
to just one institution.

00:56:15.872 --> 00:56:19.834 align:center
Life is what is happening outside, right?
So let's go out.

00:56:22.754 --> 00:56:25.006 align:center
I thought about the future.

00:56:25.507 --> 00:56:31.012 align:center
I really connected with a song
that Silvio Rodríguez recently released.

00:56:31.096 --> 00:56:37.102 align:center
And in it, he says, "Life is in the past,
but there's so much more to come."

00:56:58.540 --> 00:57:05.463 align:center
SAYURI IS JUSTICE

00:57:07.424 --> 00:57:11.636 align:center
I'd like to feel
that my daughter is safe in this world,

00:57:12.720 --> 00:57:15.765 align:center
and that she can be happy

00:57:15.849 --> 00:57:18.852 align:center
without anything bad
ever happening to her.

00:57:19.352 --> 00:57:21.354 align:center
To me, that's justice.
er happening to her.
