However, it was an alleged army protection that caused the discomfort of the parents of the 43 students.
“Mr. President, let’s not get silly. You know perfectly well Who was the one who participated massively in the cowardly attack towards our children, which was the army. You know and unfortunately put on the side of betrayal, because nothing else you betrayed these 43 parents, but to a whole Mexican people thirsty for justice and knowing the truth, ”said E Mario González, father of the normalist César Manuel González, on the number 10 of the disappearance.
The Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts (GIEI) in its latest work report told the Army to hide relevant information for the Ayotzinapa case.
“The opening of files ordered by the president of Mexico provided a lot of relevant information for clarification, But arrived a crucial moment, the denial of another part of the existing documentation by the Sedena has meant a new obstacle ”was one of the conclusions of the group of experts.
One of the parents’ demands is that in the power of the army there are 800 folios that contain key information of what happened with their children, but have been denied.
“We have asked him to investigate the army and the army is guilty, he knows what happened to our children, because he was monitoring our children, so we practically broke with him,” recalls Clemente Rodríguez, father of the normalist Cristian Rodríguez.
Before finishing his government, López Obrador defended the army and said he had delivered all the information he had available. In addition, he accused that there was an intention to affect the institution.
“The interest of affecting an institution such as the Army, without evidence, because if there were evidence, if I had evidence that the army intervened in the disappearance of the young people of Ayotzinap They did, but that is omission, ”he said on June 24, 2024.
The parents accused that the former president betrayed the confidence given to him when his government began.
“Mr. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, betrayed the confidence that as parents we put and turned his back on the Ayotzinapa case for protecting the army. He will pass as an accomplice of those people who disappeared to our children,” he told Hilda Legideño, mother of the normalist Jorge Antonio Tizapa.
With the arrival of President Sheinbaum, the parents gave their vote of confidence to the government, however, after five meetings, they do not see progress in the investigation, to which the series of setbacks Alejandro Encinas left the commission for truth and access to justice in the Ayotzinapa case; Omar Gómez Trejo and Rosendo Gómez Piedra resigned as specialized prosecutors; and Vidulfo Rosales left the defense of the case to integrate into the court.
