Romero Deschamps wasn't invited to the party
Carlos Romero Deschamps
, the leader of Pemex's union , wasn't surprised he didn't receive an official invitation to the event to commemorate oil expropriation . During the planning of the event, the message was clear, as Romero Deschamps was ignored. Nevertheless, we've been told that the message goes beyond the leader since for the first time, the government didn't pay hundreds of workers to attend the event and with this, the administration has shown they have no commitment to the union leadership , who had been praising the President in previous weeks.

The National Commission to Search for Victims of Enforced Disappearance is back
Almost a year and a half after the National Commission to Search for Victims of Enforced Disappearance was created in 2017 , and six months after its establishment, in October 2018 , this week, the organization will finally be revived. The commission was abandoned by the previous administration but now it will be reinstated with the participation of all Governors , every state prosecutor , and Alejandro Gertz Manero , the h ead of Mexico's General Prosecutor's Office . We've been told that this commission is important because the search for the person missing will begin as soon as their disappearance is reported so that they can be found alive; therefore, the coordination between all the national and state search commissions is required, as well as the cooperation of all the prosecutors . It will also have to implement forensic science to identify 26,000 corpses .
