A wee thought….I’m sure we are all cheering the imminent rescue of the Chilean miners but yet many in Mexico remain trapped in despair!! Salvador Camarena interviews the victims of crime or the relatives left after a family member has been slain. His job is to interview them on air. Yet now he says he is tired, he has ,to put it bluntly, become jaded. Can you blame him? Almost night after night he has new interviews to do yet he can’t understand why no one is coming to Mexico’s aid. In his words………..
“Although my pessimism has been brewing for some time, it reached a boiling point over the weekend. How is it a tragedy involving 33 miners has mobilized an entire country, but in Mexico no one has even pressured authorities to recover the 27 men from Michaoacan who were kidnapped over a week ago in Acapulco and Colima? The Chileans went to any and all lengths necessary to find the manpower, machinery and technology which would insure the successful rescue of their men. Have any of us even prayed?…..I don’t want to interview victims, I’m done. I’d rather put on the air people who are fed up and are tired of the excuses given by inept authorities, such as the Governor of Nuevo Leon who after Wednesday’s downtown Monterrey tragedy, made light of the situation by stating these violent public attacks were not unique to his state, they happen everywhere.”
