Parents remain the driving force, with speakers accusing federal authorities of years of delays in reaching the truth.

Normalistas de Ayotzinapa sobre la costera Miguel Alemán de Acapulco

Overview

  • About 70 to 80 normalistas marched along Acapulco’s Costera Miguel Alemán from the Palacio Federal to the Antimonumento and held a brief rally before dispersing.
  • Students said Vidulfo Rosales was a key figure yet stressed his departure will not affect the demand for justice because the movement is led by the families and the Ayotzinapa community.
  • Families and allied groups met to coordinate September activities, scheduling events in Guerrero from September 17 to 23 and in Mexico City from September 24 to 26.
  • Organizers confirmed a mobilization in the capital for the 11th anniversary and criticized authorities for recycling investigative lines without substantive progress.
  • Speakers pointed to more than 158 people under investigation or detained, including 17 Army members whom they say could help clarify what happened in Iguala.
