prensa ciudadana


Durante todo este tiempo en la ya prolongada guerra de carteles y dependencias federales, hay una cifra negra de desaparecidos, victimas dos veces, inocentes ajenos a delincuencia organizada, habitantes de lugares apartados y estratégicos para grupos de delincuencia organizada.
solo algunos casos han trascendido como el del ya celebre Don Alejo Garza Tamez por la cobertura mediática que tuvo su valiente historia.
12 de julio 2011 la marina en un operativo incursiona en un rancho en el km 185 carretera ribereña de Nuevo laredo a Reynosa antes de ciudad Guerrero, un grupo de delincuencia organizada tenia su guarida en el lugar, después de un enfrentamiento se logro la aprehensión de varios integrantes de la célula criminal.
El rancho propiedad del señor Jesus Ramiro González Vallejo de 55 años fue invadido y ocupado por sicarios meses antes quienes mediante amenazas a su familia lo hicieron colaborar suministrandoles víveres y combustible, mismos que transportaba desde la ciudad de Nuevo laredo lugar donde residía habitualmente, en el operativo fue detenido por la marina como un integrante mas del grupo criminal, después de ese día nada volvió a saberse de el, los familiares han acudido a todas las dependencias indicadas sin obtener respuesta, la marina ha negado su detención y custodia.
En la zona norte de Tamaulipas los habitantes apoyan la presencia del ejercito y marina, están a favor del combate a los grupos de delincuencia quienes mantiene a la sociedad secuestrada, aun así debe privilegiarse el marco legal y evitar la opacidad.
Como este hay muchos casos mas que no se han denunciado, es común el despojo de propiedades en la zona conflictiva de la carretera ribereña, tierra de nadie, tierra sin ley...

During an operation on July 12, 2011 marines entered a ranch located at kilometer 185 of the riverside highway between Nuevo Laredo and Reynosa, before Ciudad Guerrero. An group of criminals was using the place as a hideout. After a confrontation, various members of a crime cell were apprehended.

The ranch belongs to 55 year-old Jesus Ramiro González Vallejo. It was invaded and occupied by hitmen who, with threats to his family, made him collaborate by providing food and fuel which he brought in from Nuevo Laredo where he occaisionally resided. In the raid, González Vallejo was detained by marines as if he were another member of the criminal group. That day was the last anyone knew anything about his whereabouts. His relative have gone to all of the indicated offices without receiving a response. The marines have denied detaining or holding him.

Residents in the northern area of Tamaulipas support the presence of the army and marines. They are in favor of the fight against organized crime groups that hold society hostage. Even so, the legal framework must at the fore and opacity avoided.

There are many cases like this which go unreported. The dispossession of property is common in the conflict zone of the highway which runs parallel to the river bank; no man's man, land without law...
