“Some people are more familiar with the Tlatelolco massacre, the famous October 2, 1968. Also It is known as the Corpus Thursday Massacre because it is also a religious date, “explained Eduardo Barraza in an interview with Univision Arizona. ” It started as a student demonstration, who was going to travel less than three miles from the National Polytechnic Institute to the monument of the Revolution. This new president, who apparently had good intentions towards the students … immediately the march ended violently. This event brutally ended with the death of approximately 100 people. The exact amount [de muertes] you will never know ”he added.

Why write about the massacre 50 years later?
–
“I grew up in Mexico City, although I am a native of the state of Sonora, and I had to live – although I was a child – these events…. both 68 and 71. I got to write it because it is a topic of constant interest and why there are people on this date in 2021 who want to know more, who wants to understand what happened. So it is something personal for me because I experienced that atmosphere 10 years after I became a journalist, ”Barraza said.
