Mexicans are tired of watching or listening to daily news related to “narco” (drug) violence and the different striking events that continue to take place in the country. On Twitter, the hashtag #MexicoRojo (“Red Mexico”) has become popular among Mexican Twitter users as they discuss the ongoing violence.
This weekend, some of the tweets were about the 15 beheaded bodies that appeared in the state of Guerrero, where the famous Acapulco beach is located.
These are some of the tweets on the topic:
Mexican President Felipe Calderon affirmed that 2010 was the most violent year since he became Head of State in 2006. Mexicans are hoping that 2011 will bring different results.
