MEXICO CITY - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador lashed out at critics on Monday after a group of his supporters angrily hectored members of a U.S.-Mexican family protesting to the government about the murder of their loved ones.
Supporters of the president chanted insults at participants of a peace march as their column arrived on the Zocalo square in Mexico City’s historic center next to the presidential palace on Sunday. The nine dead, who were dual U.S-Mexican nationals of Mormon origin, were among the 34,582 homicide victims registered in the country in 2019, a record.
Without specifying whom he was accusing, Lopez Obrador said those complaining about violence now were “as silent as mummies” when the military-led crackdown on organized crime Garcia Luna had helped mastermind was still underway before his rule.U.S. prosecutors last month arrested and charged Garcia Luna with taking bribes from the cartel formerly run by convicted kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman. He denies the charges.
