Actress and TV host Yolanda Andrade posted an Instagram video questioning authorities over disappearances in Mexico and demanding the reopening of a 1996 case in Sinaloa involving her half-brother. She urged President Claudia Sheinbaum to take action and called for citizen unity against the normalization of violence.
TV host Yolanda Andrade shared an emotional Instagram video voicing her distress over disappearances in Mexico. "Today I woke up very shaken because in my country there is a lot of sadness, a lot of pain… and something we're getting used to: people disappearing, young people disappearing," she said.
The presenter directly challenged authorities: "Where is justice? Where is the government? Where are the authorities?" She expressed empathy for mothers of the missing, asking if they do not think of "the hearts of those desperate mothers who anguish and say: ‘I hope my child gets home’".
Andrade specifically appealed to President Claudia Sheinbaum: "As a Mexican citizen, I ask you, please… show your claws." She demanded reopening the 1996 case of three missing people from Las Quintas in Sinaloa, involving her half-brother Rommel Andrade. "Please reopen the case… Let justice be done for that man," she stated.
The actress supported searching families and rallied the public: "Come on, please, let's all unite. Let's take care of our home… let's protect ourselves, we are the great Mexican family." She warned against normalization: "We will not be the generation of shame."
