I am an a American living here in Mexico. I have been freeping for years. This is a very important event. How will the Mexican govt respond. I know these were just radical college students but the difference is that the cartels have been killing rival gangs for years but now a local Mayor asks his police to kidnap these students because they have been harsh to him. His police turns them over to the cartel and they are killed. How the government responses will tell you a lot about how much power the cartel has. They were radical students in a small college but still they did not deserve to die. Pictures of the campus shows pictures of Che everywhere and apparently these students have been protesting the teaching of English in the local grade schools. Mexico’s president (Nieto)is barely hanging on. They are only elected to one term in in Mexico. The ruling class in Mexico is very strong.
Thank you for posting...I saw this a couple weeks ago as the vigils etc were taking place and how angry the parents and citizens were this did not make the news here in the US....
Are the Mayor and Drug Lord Princess still in hiding? I understood he skipped town basically...and she’s being hidden by “the family”.
BTW...I understood this was about the Mayors wife giving a speech in the vicinity where the kids were going for their protest. She was upset the kids would interfer with her speech and it was she who ordered the thugs (she has the connections) to ambush the buses, at least many of the people are blaming her....but it got out of hand and whoever was orchestrating this at the site just upped and turned the kids over to a Drug Lord......
Thank you for the explanation. Stay safe...or come home! :)
