“There is a culture of corruption in many parts of the Mexican media, of course. It seems that there are fewer and fewer media outlets that permit authentic free expressions. But Mexico also has extraordinary journalists who, despite the dangers they face, have also been leading the way in this battle, who've really played a role in keeping the cause of justice alive in the Ayotzinapa case. And no matter what, they'll keep doing that.” CultureJusticeDangerBattleExtraordinaryCorruptionJournalistMexican Author:Francisco Goldman
“I'm not a Mexican writer, but I think everything that happens in Mexico affects the Mexican writers I know, in their sense of being human and of being Mexican, even if they don't in any explicit way address these issues in their writing.” ThinkingWritingBeing HumanMexicanBeing MeExplicit Author:Francisco Goldman
“The Peña Nieto government is not going to investigate itself; there's no true autonomy in the investigative and justice branches of the government in Mexico. The recent Mexican crimes and scandals, is profoundly structural, and you'd have to change the way Mexico is run, create a truly independent special prosecutor's office, to even have a chance to get close to achieving justice. People, including the families and many others throughout Mexican society, aren't going to give up in fighting for just that kind of change.” PeopleGivingKindRunningFightingJusticeChanceAchieveSpecialCrimeOfficeGiving UpIndependentAutonomyMexican Author:Francisco Goldman
“If I were the Mexican-American father of a young child who was having trouble sleeping because of Donald Trump, or who was being bullied in school because of Trump, or who was becoming ashamed of her own background because of Trump, and Trump somehow slipped away from his security and was walking down a corridor alone to use the men's room at the restaurant where I worked - if I had that chance to confront him, what would I do? Of course if a Mexican or Latino harmed Trump, it would only make things worse. Let John McCain do it. He's a soldier.” ChildrenSchoolFatherChanceSleepTroubleSecurityWalkingSoldierAshamedMexicanLatinoBulliedMccainBeing Bullied Author:Francisco Goldman
