The demonstration took place this Monday in the center of Mexico City to the cry of slogans such as “Alive they took them, alive we want them” with posters blaming the State and the army for the disappearance of young people.
Report from Mexico
Eight years have passed since the murder on September 26, 2014 of six people and the forced disappearance of 43 students from the Rural Normal School in Ayotzinapa, Guerrero. The whereabouts of the young people remain unknown, but the old official version was denied and the symbiosis of the military, police and organized crime came to light.
Parents demand justice and the current government does not dare to prosecute high-ranking politicians and military officers, nor does it want to get to the bottom of the matter.
Everything points to the fact that the students took five buses to go to Mexico City to commemorate the massacre of students on October 2, 1968, and one of the passenger trucks was carrying a shipment of heroin.
The owner of the drug gave the order to drug traffickers, police and military to recover the bus and get rid of the students.
A state crime
On August 28, the Undersecretary for Human Rights of the Ministry of the Interior, Alejandro Encinas, presented a report with the progress of the investigations, stating that it was a State crime.
He also maintained that members of the Army were not only eyewitnesses, but also actively participated and even today General José Rodríguez gave the order to kill 6 of the normalistas.
Cancellation of arrest warrants
The Attorney General’s Office gave 83 arrest warrants to those involved in the case, but days later, requested the cancellation of 21 of them, 16 of which were against the military. Among those “pardoned” are high-ranking officials of the Guerrero government.
“The report represented expectations of a probable clarification; hopes for the parents, pain too, but concrete progress was seen because there were 83 arrest warrants and several soldiers were going to be prosecuted, but then there was nothing,” Vidulfo Rosales, told RFI at the Mexico City march. victims’ attorney.
“What we have is the withdrawal of those arrest warrants. Why? What does it obey? What commitments and pacts did the military make with the civilian government? We do not understand it”, laments the lawyer.
