“Work continues day and night to rescue the miners of Sabinas, Coahuila. The main problem is the flood, although the pumping equipment is sufficient and of the highest capacity,” López Obrador tweeted.

“Today is a decisive day because, according to the technicians, it will be known if there is a possibility that the divers will enter without risk,” he added on the social network.
For their part, relatives of the miners warned the federal and state authorities that if there is no progress in the rescue, one of them will go down to measure the water level and thereby verify the conditions in which the place is located, media reports local.
In turn, Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard thanked the Direct Relief organization that serves vulnerable populations for the donation of supplies and equipment for the rescue work in the Sabinas mine shaft.

The owners of the concession, still in the shade
On the third day of the collapse, the company that has the concession for the mining well has not yet issued a public position or approached the families of the victims.
Regarding this concession, President López Obrador in his morning conference on Thursday said that there would be time “for investigations” because “the important thing was to rescue the workers.”
