Even as Mexicans lament the killings of five reporters, photographers and videographers in just six weeks, they wonder how this is happening, despite a 10-year-old program that is meant to protect journalists.
FILLE - A woman posts photos of murdered journalists during a national protest against the murder of journalists Lourdes Maldonado and freelance photojournalist Margarito Martínez in Mexico City, Jan. 25, 2022.
Enrique Irazoque Palazuelos, head of the agency that administers the Protection Mechanism for Human Rights Defenders and Journalists, is adamant: “The mechanism, let there be no doubt, has saved lives.” Before López’s death, Irazoque said the government counted 54 journalists murdered since the current administration took power in December 2018. According to its own analysis, the attacks come mainly from municipal authorities and organized crime . Private groups cite lower numbers, including the CPJ, which says 33 journalists have died.
When López Obrador took over, there were 798 people enrolled, including human rights defenders and journalists. Currently, there are 1,518 people covered by the program, including 495 journalists.
