The president was the one who broke the news through his social networks, where he assured that they had lost “a public servant of deep convictions and unquestionable honesty.” He also sent his condolences to the family. “I hug your family and friends,” he wrote.
I am very sorry for the death of our colleague David Cervantes Peredo, Undersecretary of Sedatu. We met in 1988 and since then we have worked together for the transformation of Mexico and for the benefit of our people. 1/2

The departure of an endearing colleague hurts a lot. Simple, hard-working, honest, with great convictions and great thoughts. A human being and an exemplary fighter.
