Overview

• President Claudia Sheinbaum said her government is evaluating forming a new group of independent experts to support the probe into the 2014 disappearance of 43 students.
• Sheinbaum asked Interior Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez to consult the United Nations on the feasibility of recruiting external specialists, including forensic experts.
• The push for a new team follows her acknowledgment that the previous GIEI faced problems and that many former members are unwilling or unavailable to return.
• New case prosecutor Mauricio Pazarán told families the goal is to judicialize cases but that gathering sufficient, court-acceptable evidence after 11 years requires time.
• Parents voiced disappointment over the lack of visible advances and pressed for arrest warrants, though some maintain confidence in Sheinbaum and are reviewing the expert-team proposal with officials.
