We are working like never before in the search for the disappeared; This unfortunate fact of those who were victims of violence had never been addressed and a search is being carried out
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador affirmed. In the National Palace, from the morning conference, he also reported that in the case of the Ayotzinapa normalistas there will soon be a report on the events whose origin he attributed to the six-year predecessor: We must not forget it, it was due to a mistaken, absurd decision to declare war on drug trafficking
.
That is why Felipe Calderón must explain why he gave (Genaro) García Luna so much confidence; why he made the decision to act rashly without a diagnosis. And even if they make fun of us, it is already another policy, it is to attend to the causes. Violence cannot be confronted with violence, evil cannot be confronted with evil, evil must be confronted by doing good and we are making progress, the results in this matter are already good
he replied.
The president summoned Calderón again to explain why he decided to launch the so-called war against drug trafficking. After the question about his government’s attention to the disappearance of the 43 normalistas, he pointed out:
“In the case of Ayotzinapa, a lot of progress has been made, there will soon be a report. And although it is a very complex issue because all of this, we must not forget, was due to a wrong, absurd decision to declare war on drug trafficking and to want to face violence with violence, and that was what broke everything down.
That is why Calderón must explain why he gave García Luna so much trust, why he became his right arm, and explain why he made that decision to leave García Luna with that responsibility and also why he made the decision to act accordingly. hastily, without a diagnosis and without addressing the causes before ordering repression.
Regarding the results of his administration in terms of violence, he asked: When will our adversaries recognize it?
, and answered: “No, never, but not only because they are against us for political reasons, it is an ideological matter, for the conservative there is nothing more than the use of force, they are fascists. So, that’s why they laugh, because for them it’s a leak, death penalty, ‘kill them hot’. That’s how they think.”
