Mexico: events and the first Christmas without their loved ones for 43 students


No question of giving up. About three thousand people, including relatives of the 43 missing students demonstrated yesterday in Mexico three months to the day after his disappearance.


Families are highly mobilized in this Christmas season. Wednesday, they were demonstrating outside the official residence of President Enrique Peña Nieto. On Christmas Day, she rallied in front of the German embassy, ​​demanding that Berlin cease arms sales to Mexico, some of which were used, according to them, during the attack against the students.


On the night of September 26 to 27, the Normal School student teachers to Ayotzinapa, were attacked by corrupt police Iguala. These were then delivered to the drug cartel of Guerreros Unidos, probably at the instigation of the Mayor of the city, now behind bars. They were then killed and burned, according to statements from several prisoners suspected of committing the crime.


Many relatives hope to find the 43 live young. Only one of them could be identified from the remains of his charred body.


"Because he lacks 43 students, we believe that as long as the people of Mexico will continue to rise, it will remind (the president) Peña Nieto what we have warned there will be no Christmas for us and there will not be for him, "stated Felipe de la Cruz, spokesman for the parents.


"For us, the night of 26 September is not over. For us, this is the night where time is frozen, because that night everything was uncertain and everything is uncertain, "emphasized Omar Garcia, who studied at the school Ayotzinapa.


A demonstration was also held in Iguala, where students have disappeared. A military base was the target of some protesters.
