In a statement issued today, the party Partido del Trabajo considered unacceptable the attempt of the Attorney General’’s Office (PGR) to close the case of the missing students of the Ayotzinapa teacher training college.
Alberto Anaya, national coordinator of the Partido del Trabajo (PT), said in the statement that “the case cannot be closed when it is not clear yet what happened or who are the real perpetrators of these acts”.
The statement asserted that it is absurd that the Mexican Government insist on leaving behind the matter as if nothing had happened, covering up impunity and corruption of the responsible institutions.
Anaya, who is also a congressman, warned about the increased social discontent for both, the facts of Iguala, in Guerrero state, and “everything that happens in the country where there is no security and justice does not respond as it should”.
Meanwhile, Luis Raul Gonzalez, president of the National Human Rights Commission, said yesterday that the disappearance of 43 students from the rural teacher training school of Ayotzinapa on September 26 and 27, “has not been overcome and it cannot be said that the case is closed”.
“The reports by the judges and experts requested abroad are missing, it cannot be closed, there is no conclusion and for the National Human Rights Commission the case remains open”, he said.

Governor Rick Perry and Chris Christie interrupted by dreamers in Steve King’s Freedom Summit event
Des Moines, Iowa- A group of undocumented youth interrupted prospective 2016 Presidential candidate and former Texas Governor, Rick Perry. Marco Malagon, Dreamer from Texas, shouted “Governor, do you stand with King, or do you stand with us and our families? Do you think I’m deportable?” while others stood up with signs that read “DEPORTABLE?” in reference to Representative Steve King’s comments about an undocumented student who attended the State of the Union address as a guest of First Lady Michelle Obama. Following Perry, Christie was also interrupted by Cesar Vargas, Dreamer from New York. Two dreamers were arrested.
For years, Congressman Steve King has been one of the most vocal GOP voices against Dreamers, the undocumented community and has been on the record using derogatory language against Dreamers.
