“Just as we have been critical in the past of the lack of action, the lack of results, the impunity and in this case of Murillo Karam, whose historical truth we now know was a montage,” he said.
He said that “to extinguish a conflict that broke out during Peña Nieto’s six-year term and that was generating a significant decrease in his popularity, along with the issue of the White House. So it is a very important step, it is very rare that there are high-level characters and especially in the area of law enforcement, who have been arrested.
Former deputy Fernando Belanunzarán observed that with the arrest of the former president of Hidalgo and former deputy Murillo Karam, “Andrés Manuel is showing copper, because between 80% and 90% of what was presented in the Ayotzinapa case is what was said in the so-called historical truth.
He noted: “The funny thing is that they are releasing the killers and arresting those who searched for them. Perhaps their mistake (of the PGR) was being politically correct and not including the matter of the line of investigation of the drug trafficker, which was the matter of the heroin truck in which the deputy director of Ayotzinapa was linked to the rival group Guerreros Unidos and the government decided not to get involved in an issue that could re-victimize the kids.”
Ernesto Ruffo, former governor of Baja California, commented that López Obrador made several promises in relation to the Ayotzinapa case, it was even one of the important political campaign issues, so “it seems to me that because of that focus of national attention, he did dedicate investigation and monitoring.
He commented, however, that the crimes for which Murillo is accused, such as obstruction of justice, must be proven. “The judge will have to classify the crimes, but that the prosecutor of that time, be accused of obstruction of justice, must be shown because the Ayotzinapa issue had a controversial uproar.”
