00:00In Michoacán were transferred to the municipality of Ocampo the remains of the protector of the Butterfly Monarch, Homero Gómez, where a tribute is made to him.
00:10Welcome to Watch Moyo Español, I am Jackie and today we will know all the data that probably did not reach to cover the popular documentary of Netflix, The Guardian of the Monarchs.
00:23From La Tala to the protection of the Butterfly Monarch.
00:28Homero Gómez González, I am the president of the Hidalgo Rosario police station, where is the largest sanctuary in the world.
00:34Homero Gómez González, better known as the Guardian or the King of the Monarchs, was an activist and agronomist trained at the University of Chapingo.
00:45Ironically, his family and most of the people of the region were dedicated to the treetop known as Ollamén, which was the refuge to which the Butterfly Monarchs arrived from the United States and Canada to escape the cold.
00:59Today a wonderful day after many days that seriously affected the cold front, low temperatures, clouds, little rain, today the butterfly flies and flies looking for water as it does every day, looking for flowers and returns to its place.
01:13Fortunately, thanks to his knowledge and his ability to observe, he could realize that he had a different option to employ the people of his community and his family, who had to run out of income when the tala of the trees was prohibited.
01:29Gómez was a passionate defender of the Butterfly Monarch, an activity that cost him his life because it posed a threat to the groups that practiced illegal tala in the mountains.
01:40He noticed that he could turn the place into a refuge and tourist area, as well as ask the families who used to dedicate themselves to the tala to help him reforest in exchange for money, so they would be generating income too.
01:54This is how the sanctuary for the largest Butterfly Monarch in the world was created.
01:59This afternoon I find myself living with this wonder of nature called Butterfly Monarch, the traveler, the Sun Brides, come to meet her!
02:08Homero used his social networks to record himself in the middle of the butterflies and attract the attention of national and international tourism, which was quite fruitful for the new business.
02:20Unfortunately, he did not know the huge number of obstacles he would face.
02:27They called me on the phone. Do you know that we have your husband? They are going to kill him.
02:33The Michoacán prosecutor's office issued a file for the disappearance of the activist Homero Gómez González.
02:40Role in politics.
02:42The armed groups, whose existence has always been known in the state of Michoacán, wanted to take possession of the lands where the sanctuaries are located,
02:51since as additional income they continued to exercise the illegal tala of trees and, on many occasions, also the cultivation of avocado.
03:00Let the government know that we do not want to walk like this. If no one takes care of us, as if we did not exist.
03:10For these purposes, they used to burn large hectares, so it was impossible to use them for another purpose other than the plantation of this fruit.
03:20Homero represented a real threat to the objectives of these groups,
03:25since the awakening of international interest in the area began to seek more the area and measures were taken to protect it.
03:34In four years we have reforested a million trees and we will also be touring here in the Rosario,
03:41as we have raised 400 hectares of new forests, planting more than a thousand plots of trees instead of corn and oats.
03:48He even patrolled the hectares to make sure that there were no illegal cutters making his own.
03:56Tourists arrived and although the government really did not pay enough attention,
04:01Homero began to get more and more involved in politics in order to get the help that his butterflies needed.
04:09When you go to an area like a biosphere, which is obviously a very fertile place where there are lots of natural resources,
04:15you have all sorts of conflicts, so you have people that want to use the trees for logging, both legal and illegal.
04:23He knew everything about these beautiful insects and was sure that continuing with the illegal cutters in the area would be a matter of years for them to be extinguished.
04:33During his time in politics, in his struggle to become mayor of the area,
04:38he was abducted by a group of armed men who threatened him and his family, as they were sure that he would win the position.
04:46Homero and his family worked in the timber industry and the local environment which they inhabited was their biggest economic resource.
04:53So when the biosphere was formed or certain parts of it were protected over the years, Homero wasn't necessarily in favor.
05:00They told him to convince the people not to go out to vote and with one last threat they returned him to his home.
05:07Homero unfurls his wings for the last time.
05:11Being involved in politics and in order to make new alliances to protect the sanctuary from the illegal cutters,
05:18Homero regularly attended the assemblies and social events in which he knew there were politicians who knew they could cooperate in his cause.
05:29The Netflix documentary goes deeper into the mysteries surrounding the disappearance and death of Homero Gómez,
05:36involving political figures such as the former governor of Michoacán, Silvano Aureoles and Karina Alvarado, regent of Zitácuaro.
05:46The last time he was seen alive was when he attended the races that were part of the event of a regional fair.
05:53He had gone to drop his son off at school and brought his iPad and cell phone with him,
05:58which he carried everywhere, and there are even those who saw him dance without releasing these devices.
06:05It is because the official refused to give statements in the documentary and some of the activist's personal belongings were found in his possession.
06:15His wife was anxiously waiting for him at home, as she had not answered his calls for several hours and the clock was already marking 4 in the morning,
06:25so several people decided to go out to look for him.
06:35She said that she would often tell him, please be careful, and he said, no, no, no, these people are my friends.
06:40During the following days, several search groups were formed in order to find Homero, whether he was already alive or dead.
06:47However, they were unsuccessful.
06:50Fifteen days later, his body was found in a rusty well that a previous search group had already registered.
06:57The necropsy showed that he had died of suffocation, although it was also evident a blow to the head.
07:04However, it could not be shown what had happened first, whether the impact or the drowning.
07:10He always told us that he was safe everywhere.
07:13He never told us if we ever threatened him or did anything to him,
07:19since he always told me that there were very delicate things that not even our family could know, so as not to worry her.
07:26The authorities decided to declare at first that it had been an accident.

07:45The King Monarch
07:47After the publication of the Netflix production, The Guardian of the Monarchs,
07:52many doubts arose from viewers and the public.
07:57To begin with, she says that I protected myself, which is a total lie.
08:01I have never needed the services of a lawyer and she affirms it.
08:09In this sensitive documentary, testimonies are collected about people who saw him for the last time,
08:15and they all coincide that the last person he met was the then governor of the municipality of Zitácuaro, Erika Karina Alvarado.
08:24Suspicions increased enormously after Omero's devices were found in her possession
08:31and that her photographer, whom she had asked to keep the activist's iPad and cell phone,
08:37was mysteriously murdered shortly after the unfortunate events.
08:44At the end of the documentary they say that Karina Alvarado did not give the interview.
08:50They have led me to find myself in a very complicated situation today,
08:56in front of the eyes of the world, in front of the eyes of Mexico, of those who watch this documentary.
09:00Currently, the governor of Michoacán, Alfredo Ramírez Bedoya,
09:04in response to the multiple claims and petitions generated thanks to the Netflix documentary,
09:10ordered to reopen the case,
09:12in the hope that he will finally be found guilty of one of the many deaths of activists
09:18that have been committed throughout the term of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
09:24For his part, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador lamented the fact and the death of the environmentalist.
09:30This is a very unfortunate fact, painful, unfortunate,
09:39and it is part of what leads us to apply ourselves more and more to guarantee peace and tranquility.
09:50And what do you think about this unfortunate case?
