“Each of these deaths is a murder permitted by the negligence and indifference of our rulers,” the publication reads.
They called on the authorities to stop making unnecessary investments in vehicular bridges or overpasses, where they do not guarantee access to universal mobility for pedestrians, people with disabilities or users of alternative transportation such as bicycles, if not only for motorists.
Finally, they pointed out that we must stop blaming the victims, when the street and mobility conditions are not optimal in the municipalities, “the authorities, the media and society in general must stop blaming the victims and recognize that the authorities have blood on their hands. “These are not accidents, they are completely avoidable incidents.”
