There is still no precise date for the first formal meeting between President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo and the parents of the 43 Ayotzinapa normal students who were victims of forced disappearance in 2014.

We are going to meet soon. We are there with the undersecretary (of Human Rights of the Ministry of the Interior), Arturo Medina, already looking for a possible meeting daysaid the head of the Executive yesterday morning.

Regarding her government’s strategy to resolve the disappearance of the young people of Ayotzinapa, the President pointed out that she will first have to discuss it with the families. Our first responsibility is to talk to them, which I talked about at the time when I was president-elect: how to strengthen the investigation of this case..

The families have insisted that the Army has not delivered all the information about the case, which generated a rift with the López Obrador administration, despite the progress that was achieved.

Later, almost at the close of the conference, Sheinbaum referred, without question, to the reelection of Rosario Piedra Ibarra as head of the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH).

He criticized in particular some actors of the commentocracy, who pointed out on social networks that from Palenque former president López Obrador is dictating line to the senators for that designation, and said that the legislators are independent in making decisions.

Let him rest in Palenque, calmhe noted in reference to former President López Obrador. “Do you really think that you are interested, from Palenque, in thinking about who is going to be the president of the CNDH? (…) Where do they have that information from? What are your sources? What is your evidence?” he asked.

He asked for respect for the president of the national organization. Rosario Piedra defends, and that is what bothers them, and she herself, because of her personal history, because she has a brother who disappeared at the time when there was repression from the State and the forced disappearance came from the State. She represents that generation and that history that they want to hide.

The president also criticized that The previous president of the CNDH (Luis Raúl González) was deputy attorney in the Colosio case, but he was not criticizable.
