Book Synopsis



México, Distrito Federal, 30 de mayo de 1984. Manuel Buendía Téllez ha sido asesinado frente a su oficina ubicada en la colonia Juárez.

El ataque, rápido y preciso, silenció una de las voces más influyentes del periodismo. Aunque las investigaciones de su asesinato están plagadas de inconsistencias y las hipótesis alrededor del móvil son muchas, la realidad es más sombría. Mientras Buendía transita su jornada con normalidad, escribiendo obsesivamente su columna «Red Privada», reuniéndose con funcionarios públicos y cursando investigaciones que incomodan a diversos intereses políticos y económicos, en paralelo se desarrolla la llamada «Operación Noticia» un dispositivo clandestino ejecutado por aparatos de seguridad del Estado que lo vigilan y organizan su asesinato. Cada movimiento del periodista --sus horarios, trayectos, citas y hábitos-- es observado y registrado; en tanto, el eclipse solar de aquel día de mayo se revela como una oscura mácula que ha impregnado al país.

Simulaciones, corrupción y encubrimiento, Operación Noticia es un thriller político que reconstruye con precisión documental el día en que se apagó una de las voces más incómodas del periodismo mexicano.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Mexico City, May 30, 1984. Manuel Buendía Téllez is murdered outside his office in the Juárez neighborhood.

The attack, swift and precise, silences one of the most influential voices in journalism. Although the investigation into his murder is riddled with inconsistencies and multiple theories about its motive, the truth is far darker. As Buendía goes about his day as usual--obsessively writing his column "Red Privada", meeting with public officials, and pursuing investigations that unsettle powerful political and economic interests--a parallel operation unfolds. Known as "Operación Noticia," it is a clandestine scheme carried out by state security forces who surveil him and orchestrate his assassination. Every move the journalist makes --his schedules, routes, meetings, and habits-- is observed and recorded, while the solar eclipse of that May day looms as a dark stain cast over the nation.

Simulations, corruption, and cover-ups converge in Operación Noticia, a political thriller that reconstructs with documentary precision the day one of the most unsettling voices in Mexican journalism was silenced.
