1984. It was a cold and cloudy afternoon. The common sights and sounds of the moving Corregidora Street by the National Palace, didn't distract his attention. He had the gaze set in a precise spot, who knows which; sporadically, his eyes  moved though the horizon from one extreme to another. He was taking notes. The images he registered that day, no one will ever understand, neither the thoughts he wrote down. Picture by Rubén Pax

2014. The collective action of the civil society was the response to the institutional immobility in Michoacán.  People from different parts of the entity, rose up against the Caballeros Templarios, tired of extrusions and violence towards those who were subjected through omission or the complicity of the authorities. Organized crime was winning the battle. The inhabitants saw the Autodefensas or Self-defense organism as a libertarian army. On June 27th, José Manuel Mireles, one of the most important commanders of this movement was incarcerated. Picture by Víctor Camacho
