On August 28, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, president of Mexico, reported that the families of the miners trapped in Sabinas, Coahuila, had already accepted the rescue plan that could take several months.
“We sent family members to consult, they were very sad, it is a very difficult situation, very very difficult, they were very upset, they did not want anything, and already, well, they have accepted,” said the president during an event in Nuevo León.
Families “agree that this work be carried out and they did not accept because of the time, because the rescue will take longer and they would like it to be as soon as possible,” said the president.
