Javier Sicilia: Open letter to politicians and criminals
Javier Sicilia
MEXICO, DF., April 3 (Process) .- The brutal murder of my son John Francisco, Julio César Romero Jaime, Luis Antonio Romero and Gabriel Jaime Escalera Schedule, in addition to those of many other boys and girls have also been killed across the country because not only of the war unleashed by Calderon's government against organized crime, but the decay of the heart that has taken over the so-called political class and the criminal class, which has broken their codes of honor.
not want, in this letter, talk about the virtues of my son, who were immense, or for any of the other guys that I saw blooming at his side, studying, playing, loving, growing, serving, like many other boys, this country that you have torn. Talking about it would not serve more than to shake what already touched the hearts of the public to outrage. No I do not talk about the pain of my family and the family of each of the boys destroyed. For this pain, no words can only get a little poetry to it, and you do not know poetry. What we now want to tell from these lives crippled, from the pain that has no name because it is the result of what does not belong to nature, the death of a child is always unnatural and therefore has no name, then it is not an orphan or a widower, was painfully simple and nothing- from those maimed lives, again, from this suffering, from the outrage that these deaths have resulted, is simply that we are up to the mother. We
to the mother of you, politicians, and when I say political I do not mean any particular one, but a good part of you, including those who make the games, "because in their struggles for power have torn the fabric of the nation, because in the midst of this ill-conceived war, poorly made, poorly directed, this war has put the country in a state of emergency, have been unable, because of their pettiness, their struggles, their miserable grid, and his struggle for power "to create the consensus that the nation needs to find unity without which this country will not exit, we are up to the mother because the corruption of judicial institutions creates complicity with the crime and impunity to commit, because, in the midst of such corruption that shows the state failure, every citizen of this country has been reduced to what the philosopher Giorgio Agamben calls with Greek word zoe, unprotected life, the life of an animal, a being can be violated, kidnapped, molested and murdered with impunity to the mom because we have only imagination to violence, for weapons, for the insult and, thus, a deep contempt for education, culture and opportunities for honest work and well, that's what makes a good nation, we are to such a young mother because imagination is allowing our kids, our children are not only killed but later, as criminals, falsely returned guilty to suit the mood of the imagination and we're up to the mother because another part of our boys, because of the absence of a good plan of government, have no opportunities for educated, to find a decent job and thrown into the suburbs, are potential recruits for organized crime and violence are to the mother because of all this because the public has lost confidence in their leaders, its police, as Army, and have fear and pain, we are up to the mother because the only thing that matters, in addition to a impotent power only serves to manage unfortunately, is money, the promotion of competition, their click on "competitiveness" and excessive consumption, which are other names in the violence.
From you, criminals, we are back to the dam, its violence, its loss of good repute, of his cruelty, his nonsense. Extract
Sicily letter published in the 1976 edition of Proceso magazine, already in circulation.
