"On May 30, 1984, Mexican journalism faced one of its darkest days: Manuel Buendía, one of Mexico's most daring and respected columnists, was murdered in cold blood in Mexico City's Zona Rosa. Four decades Later, his legacy of courage and commitment to the truth continues to be an example in a profession that continues to deal with the shadows of power and impunity.
Through his column 'Red Privada' (Private Network), Buendía informed the public and tirelessly challenged the powerful, winning both admirers and mortal enemies. This article seeks not only to remember the life and work of Buendía, but also to reflect on the lasting impact of his death on journalism and Mexican society, exploring the circumstances of his murder and the questions that, even after so many years, continue to search for answers."
