Faced with a massive protest by students demanding justice for the disappearance of their 43 classmates 10 years ago, called for tomorrow, September 26, the U.S. Embassy in Mexico has been walled off with metal fences.
“On Thursday, September 26, the Embassy expects several thousand or more protesters to march from the Angel of Independence to the Zócalo. The Embassy will limit its public operations on September 26 and will advise all U.S. government personnel to avoid the area of the demonstrations,” the U.S. diplomacy said in a statement.
This week, the parents of the 43 missing students began their protests in Mexico City, throwing firecrackers at the Ministry of the Interior and also in the Senate.
“We know that in these days the Senate of the Republic is going to approve the Reform in which the National Guard will become part of the Sedena, the Mexican Army, which in the Ayotzinapa case is the Army that has not given the information so that we can advance in the investigations,” said one of the speakers in front of the Senate.
This morning the United States Embassy, located on Paseo de la Reforma next to the Angel of Independence, woke up surrounded by metal fences and increased security at its entrances.
“It is expected that this week demonstrations will take place in various places in the city coinciding with the tenth anniversary of the disappearance of 43 students from the Rural Teachers College of Ayotzinapa. Past demonstrations have become violent, even in March 2024,” emphasizes the US Embassy in our country.
This September 26 marks 10 years since the disappearance of the 43 students from the Raúl Isidro Burgos rural normal school in Ayotzinapa, Guerrero: the parents demand justice, they condemn the fact that the López Obrador government “only lied to them” and they hope that the administration of Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo will locate the students.
