00:00In Mexico, another protest was held by the parents of the 43 students from the Ayotzinapa
00:05Rural Teachers College in Guerrero, who wound up being seen on the night of September 26,
00:102014. With one month to go before the 12th anniversary of this case, the victim's families
00:17continue to demand justice and clarifications of the events. Antonio Aranda has the details
00:22in the following report. On September 26, the parents of the 43 missing students from the
00:28Isidro Burgos Rural Teachers College in Ayotzinapa, Guerrero, will mark 12 years of demanding
00:35justice for their children. As they do every month, they protested in Mexico City to demand
00:41that the investigations continue so they can find out what really happened to their sons.
00:48We take to the streets on the 26th of every month to demand justice and punishment for those
00:53responsible. And I believe that all of this, thanks to all the effort we've put in, all
01:01the struggles we've endured, is finally coming to fruition. People who have been in prison
01:07have been arrested.
01:08The recent arrest of Angelo Aguirre, who was governor of the state of Guerrero at the time
01:13of the 43 students' disappearance, is a substantial step forward.
01:18He was governor at the time, and there has been no justice. Now that he's in prison, he
01:25must tell the whole truth. Where are the recordings? Where are the videos that were supposedly destroyed?
01:35He must know.
01:37Angel Aguirre remains in custody at a high-security prison. The Attorney General's office identifies
01:43him as the primary person responsible for the destruction and concealment of key evidence
01:48needed to solve the case. These advances in the Ayatsanapa investigation are the result
01:53of a new approach to the inquiries, according to President Claudia Scheinbaum.
02:00It may be the same evidence, but now, by delving deeper through various methods, many of them
02:08involving scientific analysis. We can continue to ensure justice is served. Therefore, this
02:17arrest is the result of work the Attorney General's office has been conducting for many months.
02:22For Mexico's current government, the most important thing is to uncover the truth and
02:27ensure justice in the case of the 43 missing students. The parents of the 43 missing students
02:33and their legal representatives will meet at the National Palace with President Claudia Scheinbaum
02:38to learn about the latest developments in the investigation.
