Sheinbaum vows truth and justice in Ayotzinapa case after ex-governor's arrest

President Claudia Sheinbaum has reiterated her administration's dedication to uncovering the truth and delivering justice in the Ayotzinapa case, following the recent detention of Ángel Aguirre, the former governor of Guerrero. Sheinbaum stated that her government's commitment remains firm, though she declined to provide specific details about the judicial proceedings, noting that the investigation is being handled by the Attorney General's Office (FGR).

The president highlighted that Aguirre's capture is a result of extensive investigative work by the FGR, bolstered by new intelligence tools and scientific analysis. "What is important for us, through the Undersecretariat of Human Rights, the Investigation Commission, and the Attorney General's Office itself, is the work of dialogue with the parents, to reach the truth and justice and find the young people," Sheinbaum stated during a press conference.

Sheinbaum announced her intention to meet with the families of the 43 missing students again by the end of the month. These meetings, which occur every two to three months, serve to update the families on the investigation's progress. When questioned about the possibility of further arrests related to the case, Sheinbaum deferred, emphasizing that it is the FGR's responsibility to conduct the investigations and determine any necessary legal actions.
