Governor of Guerrero, Mexico Resigns Amidst Scandal of 43 Missing Students

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The governor of the southern Mexican state of Guerrero announced Thursday that he will step down amid increasing protests over the disappearance of 43 students and the deaths of six others at the hands of police.

Gov. Angel Aguirre, a member of the leftist PRD, told reporters in Chilpancingo, the state capital, that he is leaving office “to favor a political climate” conducive to a solution.

“The priority must be to continue with the search for the missing students and to ensure that the people responsible for these serious violations of human rights be punished,” he said.

Aguirre’s resignation has been one of the principal demands of the families and friends of the 43 students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Normal School, a teachers college, who disappeared Sept. 26.

Protests over the mass abduction have swelled this week to include thousands of students, teachers and parents, and some demonstrations have led to the sacking of government and PRD offices in Chilpancingo and the town of Iguala, where the incident took place.

Iguala’s fugitive mayor, Jose Luis Abarca, is also a member of the PRD.

Mexican federal authorities say the mayor and his wife, who is related to several reputed drug cartel operators, ordered the attack on the Ayotzinapa students.

Aguirre defended his handling of the crisis, insisting that he has worked “tirelessly” to find the missing students and arrest those suspected of taking part in the violence.
