President Claudia Sheinbaum said the presentation of new progress in the Ayotzinapa case, including new lines of investigation and analysis of phones, does not mean the investigation into the 43 students is closed.
Gregorio Alvarado was a teacher, poet, father, and Indigenous social leader who was forcibly disappeared along with his family, after months of surveillance & persecution in September 1996.
Families say there has been no response to the points they raised when meeting with President Sheinbaum, last November, nor has a follow-up meeting been scheduled, as promised.
Those who seek to subject Mexico to external oversight raise strong suspicions that there are ulterior motives and interests behind the request that they dare not make public.
Families expressed their concern about an update to Mexico’s National Registry which “prioritizes administrative management over the reality of families on the ground.”
The activist, who has fought for justice for victims of forced disappearances for five decades, says impunity persists & authorities at all three levels of government downplay what happens daily.
Parents of the missing students demand the Army hand over 800 files it has it in its possession and complain no new meeting has been scheduled with President Sheinbaum since their last meeting in November.
What is more viable: a capitalism without violence or an anti-capitalist project?
