| Spanish abstract | Pero no se trata únicamente de población extranjera, sino de la movilidad de los propios mexicanos, que huyendo de contextos violentos deben cruzar el país, sin garantías de seguridad. Para documentar esta situación se recurrió a la revisión tanto de fuentes primarias y secundarias –incluyendo bases de datos gubernamentales–, como hemerográfica y –por supuesto– de testimonios, recabados por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas, la observación participante y un detallado seguimiento documentado en un diario de campo |
| English abstract | The goal of this text is to portray the situation of structural violence in Mexico, which is the result of a negligent State, that sometimes is a perpetrator of violence by itself. Security becomes a pretext to justify the use of force against civilian population. Migrants are the most vulnerable, as they lack of a regular legal status to protect them, at least formally. Mexico has signed agreements regarding the rights of migrants, and has even modified laws and regulations to ensure the free and safe passage of migrants through the country. However, this is not reflected in Mexican migratory management. But it is not only a question of foreign population, but also the mobility of Mexicans themselves, fleeing from violent contexts, must of them crossing the country without security guarantees. In order to document this situation, primary and secondary sources were reviewed, including government databases, newspaper coverage and, of course, testimonies, collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation and a detailed follow-up documented in a field diary |
