President Andrés Manuel López Obrador exonerated former President Enrique Peña Nieto for the disappearance of the 43 students from the Isidro Burgos Rural Normal School in Ayotzinapa, Guerrero, in September 2014.
“So, I am not blaming anyone because that must also be taken into account, one thing is to be guilty and another thing is to be responsible; you can be responsible, but not guilty, and you can be both, responsible and guilty, but that is what I can say, ”he answered a specific question.
He said, however, that “it is very difficult for the president not to find out; more, when it comes to a delicate matter”, in reference to the operation of the Secretary of the Navy in the garbage dump of the Guerrero municipality of Cocula, on the morning of October 27 of that year and whose information was hidden for more than six years, but already It was made public by the Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts (GIEI) that participates in the investigation of the case.
He also outlined Admiral José Rafael Ojeda Durán, Secretary of the Navy; “He has no involvement in this matter (…) those who do not want to force us, because Admiral Ojeda was head of the naval zone in Acapulco.”
“They know that these are decisions that were made at the central level and that the Secretary of the Navy, like the Secretary of Defense, has intelligence agencies for special tasks. It is proven that those who participated in the garbage dump, the sailors who are acting, who appear in the shots (of the video recording), and who gave the orders, are acting from central offices, from here, ”he added, without greater precision. .
And he reiterated that the senior marine commanders, especially the person responsible for the aforementioned operation, have already given their statement to the Attorney General’s Office, as well as that the GIEI will continue its investigations for another year.
“Then, those responsible are already declaring because, in effect, at dawn, it was not yet day, and some trucks arrive at the dump and begin to put some packages; and shortly after that same day, the delegation led by the attorney (Jesús Murillo Karam) arrives. And I think that same day in the afternoon or the next day is when the supposed historical truth is revealed. So that’s why the video.”
