From the disappearance of his son “Choche”, as his family said affection, Clemente Rodríguez has a burden and does not refer to the backpack with cups, earrings and mezcal that he sells to solve his expenses, but the pain and sadness because Cristian has not returned home.
“I cannot say that I am at 100. I walk a lot, but my legs hurt, my body hurts, I have a buzz in my ear. The doctors tell me: ‘You dance, you listen to music, you have fun, you jump’, that is what I do to get rid of all this load. A lot of stress, a lot of fatigue,” he says.
‘I have to continue’
Luz María Telusta, mother of the disappeared normalist, Cristian Alfonso Rodríguez Telusta, continues to tour the country in search of justice. However, at some point he had to slow his fight to work and solve his family’s expenses.
“I retired for a while because I have to get my children forward, but I will never leave the movement. I have to continue, I have to know what really happened with my son, for love of our children, no matter if they insult us, that they tell us that we already liked to walk here or that we have already received money, I am not ashamed to say that I have not received a weight of money,” he says.
“Parents do not have for the passages, but they see how they are practically sick.”

The disappointment in the presidential promise
In addition to pain and tiredness, for students’ families the last 11 years transcend disappointment and tired. They do not know the whereabouts of their children and do not find justice.
Of the government of Enrique Peña Nieto obtained the questioned “Historical truth” And of the Morenista administrations Esperanza that little by little, they say, has become disappointment.
“We have been 11 years and we don’t know anything about our children, for us it is a suffering to see how the days go by and we do not have an answer from this government. It is very painful, this is not desired to anyone, that your son no longer returns, having to go out to look for him, to explain what happened to you.
I go out to know something about my son, I arrive and ask me ‘What did they tell you? What are there?’ I am ashamed to tell you: ‘Do you know what? Just as I left, I returned, because there is nothing ‘”.

The setbacks
More than approaching justice, in the last two years the case had what parents consider important setbacks: Alejandro Encinas left the commission for truth and access to justice in the Ayotzinapa case; Omar Gómez Trejo and Rosendo Gómez Piedra they resigned as specialized prosecutors; and Vidulfo Rosales He left the defense of the case to join the Court.
Although there are meetings With President Claudia Sheinbaum the case is stuckbecause there are no new lines of research, the former federal official accused of torture, Tomás Zeron, remains in Israel, and the parents are still waiting for the “folios” of the file that they consider keys.
“We are going to turn 11 years of resistance, to endure that two, three governments, are taking us long,” says Clemente Rodríguez.
