Six years after the Ayotzinapa case, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced arrest warrants against elements of the Army and offered an apology.

“I want you to know, arrest warrants have been issued against the military that are going to be executed,” he told the parents of the 43 disappeared normalistas.

The President warned that there will be zero impunity.

“Whoever has participated and is revealed, will be brought to justice.”

López Obrador said that the Ayotzinapa case is painful.

“It is an important, transcendent and at the same time sorrowful because we are remembering acts of injustice, of atrocities that were committed against young people, your children, it is a regrettable and painful fact,” he said.

Likewise, it reaffirmed the commitment to clarify the facts.

“That the truth, the real truth, is known, that is the commitment and of course that we know the whereabouts of the young people, at the same time that those responsible are punished, in short, that there is justice, reparation of the year.”

Before parents, he promised that they will succeed and asked them not lose to hope.

“For one, we are authorities that emerged from the people, no vested interest groups imposed on us, I am not here for the potentates, I am not here for organized crime or white collar corruption,” he said.

In the same way, the President demanded that the judges act with rectitude and not release those involved in the case.

“It is required that the judges help to advance in the Judicial Power, because there is a huge issue there when alleged perpetrators are released,” he said.
