Overview
- The president met parents of the 43 at Palacio Nacional to present investigative updates, but families said the two‑hour session yielded no meaningful findings.
- The government highlighted a scientific re‑analysis of telephone records from before and after September 26, 2014, led by newly appointed special prosecutor Mauricio Pazarán.
- Families and their new lawyer, Isidoro Vicario, said promised results on the phone‑analysis line were absent and urged that stated political will translate into concrete outcomes.
- Parents argued prior lines have been sidelined, pressing for access to 800 Army folios, clarity on the role of the military, and progress on extraditions of Tomás Zerón from Israel and Ulises Bernabé from the U.S.
- Both sides agreed to reconvene in November, and relatives said the possible return of the independent GIEI is under consideration as the 11th anniversary approaches on September 26.
