“The creation of historical truth it was a concerted action of the organized apparatus of power from the highest level of government”, states the report of the Commission for Truth and Access to Justice of the Ayotzinapa Case.
It adds that with this version –constructed by the former Attorney General’s Office– the truth of the events against the normalistas was concealed, the crime scenes were altered, the links between the authorities and the criminal group known as the United Warriorsas well as the participation of state agents, security forces and authorities responsible for law enforcement in the disappearance of the students.
The report presents a series of arguments that break down the so-called historical truthwhich at the time was announced by Jesús Murillo Karam, head of the PGR in the six-year term of Enrique Peña Nieto.
The main line found by the current commission points out, unlike the version of the past, that the normalistas were not cremated together in the Cocula dump, since they were separated into at least three groups at the exit of the Iguala bus terminal , Warrior.
At least three cells, six groups and a central command operated in the task of disappearance, where they were transferred to different points, both in the Palace of Justice and in the Periférico zone, and evidently they were not together, that is what what are we confirming
emphasized the president of the commission, the Undersecretary for Human Rights of the Ministry of the Interior, Alejandro Encinas.
The balance after the analysis of all the evidence to which the commission gathered indicates that “the historical truth we define it as the result of a concerted action of the organized apparatus of power”, which was based on the elements: a call from a person who owns a grocery store in the vicinity of Cocula and Iguala, in the interrogations obtained through torture of 77 characters who were released by a judge in Tamaulipas, in two proceedings signed by an agent of the federal Public Ministry who was in the same place and at the same time in Guerrero and in Mexico City
and in the version of the incineration of the students in the Cocula garbage dump.
They are the acts of torture committed, at least until now proven, to 77 people by public officials from different areas of government, and who were deprived of their liberty. This has been fully accredited with the 50 hours of videos delivered by the National Intelligence Center of the prosecution. Two of those videos are public, they were released through the media.
The historical truth It was also annihilated thanks to the fact that videos were obtained of the drone overflights of the Secretary of the Navy that were carried out on the dates of the crimes in the area, and that the unit delivered to the commission, in which the intervention of authorities was detected. in the Cocula dump – to sow evidence – and which has been extensively analyzed by the GIEI and which was presented in its latest report.
A network of telephone calls that occurred between September 26 and 28 was reviewed and evaluated, after analyzing 87 million records in files that allowed purging a base of 84 thousand records for the period in which the violent events occurred and locating 17 a thousand different numbers that were participating in the operations of that day; In addition, they had access to 467 screenshots with which it was possible to reconstruct 37 conversations from five different telephone numbers between 36 actors who participated in the events, and which refer to 35 additional people.
Encinas stressed that there is no resemblance
between the report released yesterday and the historical truthwell this says that the 43 students were incinerated in the Cocula garbage dump, we have pointed out that several groups intervened and dispersed them, and that there were different forms of intervention in the attacks against the students. I don’t see any point of coincidence in it
