Relatives of the 43 Ayotzinapa students who have disappeared since September 2014 summoned the members of the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) to give the results of the investigation, and if not, everyone quit. Vidulfo Rosales, legal representative of the parents of the normalistas, said that the FGR is the big hurdle to solve the case.

During a demonstration held at the headquarters of the FGR, headed by Alejandro Gertz Manero, the litigant maintained that In this institution there are entrenched officials who hinder the investigations and are interested in the investigations not advancing.

Personnel of the Federal Ministerial Police, he affirmed, executed Juan Salgado Guzmán, The Indian, one of the controls United Warriors that he had important information on the whereabouts of the students and had already agreed to collaborate with the investigations; when an attempt was made to fill out an arrest warrant against him, in September 2021, in the municipality of Metepec, state of Mexico, federal agents killed him; According to expert reports, excessive force was used and he was shot down.
