The attorney general of Mexico, Alejandro Gertz Manero, presented this Saturday the progress of the investigation into the disappearance of 43 teaching students from Ayotzinapa, Guerrero, in 2014 and has pointed to the previous government, led by the president, Enrique Peña Nieto, for lie and cover up and perform false errands.
“The missing youths were left in the middle of a clash of drug trafficking interests. It was a lethal coincidence, entrenched in the local police, in the Federal Police, in the different organizations that had a presence in that place,” said Gertz.
In particular, he has referred to the “generalized cover-up” of what happened by local and federal authorities despite the fact that they had knowledge of what happened through the C4 communication system. “He was also able to record the illegal arrests, their transfers to public offices, justice centers and other places, where the torture began, so that later these young people were handed over to the criminal group,” he added.
Investigations specifically reveal that there are cameras that stopped working at key moments and radios that were turned off, which implies responsibilities that, he said, will not go unpunished.
In addition, Gertz, on the same days that the normalistas disappeared, about 80 people were massacred and hidden in Iguala by different criminal groups without any investigation being launched.
The report on the progress of the investigation has been presented coinciding with the sixth anniversary of what happened and the Undersecretary for Human Rights of the Ministry of the Interior, Alejandro Encinas, has highlighted that it assumes that the “historical truth” defended so far by Peña Nieto It has totally “collapsed”.
THERE WILL BE NO IMPUNITY
Specifically, Encinas has stressed that at no time were the 43 students together after being detained and therefore 30 search actions have been carried out, including searches for life, still without results.
“We will not generate false expectations nor do we want to build another historical truth, but rather to find the truth, however painful it may be. We are not going to get tired,” Encinas stressed. “There will be no impunity, no one will be protected and the guilty will be punished whoever they are,” he added.
A spokesman for the Special Investigation and Litigation Unit for the Ayotzinapa case, Omar Gómez Trejo, has also appeared, who has indicated that there are indications of simulation and information concealment in the investigation of the previous administration.
Gómez has highlighted that 70 arrest warrants have been issued, among police officers, members of the Army and criminal organizations, as well as various officials, such as the former head of the Criminal Investigation Agency, Tomás Zerón, who is a fugitive and could be in Israel.
