Teresa Guadalupe Reyes Sahagún, current head of the CNP, submitted her resignation on July 29th, and will leave office effective August 31st.
Groups searching for missing persons in Baja California hope to participate in the decision-making process for the appointment of the head of the National Commission for the Search for Persons (CNB), said Eddy Carrillo, president of the Todos Somos Erick Carrillo Foundation.
“We are working on the issue of support for the national commissioner, also if the federal government allows us, because they might appoint him again,” he said.
Teresa Guadalupe Reyes Sahagún, current head of the CNP, submitted her resignation on July 29th, and will leave office effective August 31st.
Following Reyes Sahagún’s decision, this Friday the Ministry of the Interior (Segob) published the call for applications for the appointment of the head of the CNB in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF).
The call includes the guidelines, requirements, and the procedure for groups, experts, and civil society organizations to propose candidates, and applicants can begin their registration starting Wednesday.
Erick Carrillo considered the appointment of Teresa Guadalupe Reyes Sahagún a mistake by the federal government, as she lacked the necessary experience to fill the position.
He added that Baja California could support potential candidates who have held positions on the National Human Rights Commission and the CNB itself.
“[We hope] they open the doors to these people who have the knowledge, who know the families, the issue, and the land. Because you can have doctorates and bachelor’s degrees, but if you don’t know the land, you will never understand what the disappeared person is,” he declared.
