Families of the 43 students who disappeared from Ayotzinapa arrived at the National Palace for a crucial meeting with President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo. The gathering took place just one month before the 12th anniversary of the students' abduction, a case that continues to deeply affect Mexico.

During the meeting, discussions centered on the latest developments in the investigation, including newly opened lines of inquiry and recent arrests related to the case. The Attorney General's Office is reportedly preparing to present a public report detailing these new findings. President Sheinbaum expressed hope that this information could be released before the September 26 anniversary, provided it does not compromise the integrity of the ongoing investigations.

One significant aspect discussed was the analysis of telephone records from the night of the disappearance. President Sheinbaum highlighted that this crucial data was not thoroughly examined during the initial stages of the investigation. The review of these call records has reportedly opened new avenues for understanding the events of that night.

The meeting also addressed the case of former Guerrero Governor รngel Aguirre, whose involvement is being explained directly by the prosecutor handling the investigation. The families' legal representatives confirmed they would provide statements following the meeting with the president, indicating the importance of the discussions held.
