After the Attorney General's Office of Nuevo León confirmed that the body they found in a cistern located inside the Nueva Castilla Motel belonged to Debanhi Escobar, a young man who disappeared since April 9, various personalities from the country's political sphere lamented the information presented by the authorities regiomontanas.

Regardless of the party and political affinities, legislators, academics, journalists and former public officials took to their social networks to release emotional messages dedicated to Debanhi Escobar and his family. However, some of them demanded that state authorities, Governor Samuel García and President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) clarify the case of the 18-year-old girl.

Such was the case of Andrea Chavez Teviño, a legislator of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), who said that the discovery of Debanhi's body is a sadness that has shocked the entire country.

Femicide: the most serious expression of hatred towards women, and the greatest challenge we face as a society. The anger and sadness that overwhelms the family of #Debanhi runs through Mexico: we will not stop demanding justice, clarification and punishment of the guilty,” the morenista wrote on her official Twitter account.

Xochitl Gálvez Ruíz, a senator for the National Action Party (PAN), urged the FGE to clarify the reasons for the death of Debanhi Susana, who disappeared after attending a party with friends and was found dead 13 days after the start of her search.

“It is urgent that @FiscaliaNL clarify the death of Debahni. It is unfortunate that, during their search, they found the lifeless bodies of other women. Governments, both federal and Nuevo León, must generate a coordinated strategy to prevent the disappearance of women,” Gálvez Ruíz wrote on social networks.

Meanwhile, political scientist Denise Dresser commented that “her story portrays a cosmic injustice, a deep cruelty, a shared wound, to the country that fails its women.”

Although he did not specify the case, Arturo Zaldívar, chief minister of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), called on authorities at all levels and in all states to assume their responsibility and act in the face of the wave of violence that is attacking women in Mexico.

The pain for every dead or missing woman and girl touches the depths of the heart of Mexico. Urgent and effective measures are urgently needed to stop this collective tragedy. All institutions must assume our responsibility and act accordingly,” said the minister president.

In addition, the former head of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), Santiago Nieto, mentioned that “the authorities must see the victims, not just the role of the files. Investigating, pursuing and delivering justice must be done with a gender perspective, or it will not be justice.”

For his part, Javier Lozano, former Secretary of Labour and Social Prevention (STPS), said that “the tragedy of Debanhi Escobar hurts deeply”. In addition, given the information presented by the FGE, he pointed out that “with their pinch* fancy language they intend to hide the truth”.

In a video released on social networks, Adolfo Guerrero Gutiérrez, Nuevo León prosecutor, said: “Having found the body of a lifeless person within the search area of Debanhi Susana Escobar Bazaldúa, scientific evidence allows us to communicate that the body found is Debanhi Susana, the cause of death being the deep contusion of the skull”
