Demanding the removal of Governor Aguirre, the group also slams EPN:
" Peña Nieto, is now pretending to be so concerned about these students
after years of stigmatizing Ayotzinapa"
As Mexico gears up for mass marches on Wednesday, two community police groups join in the search for the disappeared students and demand the resignation of the governor of Guerrero.
Approximately 500 autodefensas members of the Union of Peoples and Organizations of the State of Guerrero (UPOEG) arrived in Iguala at the request of parents, on Tuesday night to help search for the 43 students missing since September 26.
Spokesperson Bruno Plácido Valerio said that despite the mass graves found on the outskirts of Iguala, “there is no guarantee that the charred bodies are those of the students.”
“Organized crime has been killing people in the same area for years,” he added.
Of the 43 disappeared students, 17 are from Tecoanapa, Ayutla and la Costa Chica, where UPOEG has a strong presence. “Those are the children of our members,” said Plácido Valerio. “That’s why we’re joining in the search, and we hope all the family members will do the same.”
The UPOEG leader said that his group is unarmed and willing to cooperate with the gendarmes who have now been assigned control of Iguala.
At the same time, the community police of the Regional Coordinating Group of Community Authorities of the Montaña and Costa Chica of Guerrero (CRAC-PC) issued a statement demanding the resignation of Guerrero Governor Ángel Aguirre, charging that he is an “accomplice of organized crime," whose aim is to "silence social protest.”
The CRAC-PC went on to say that Aguirre, like Mexican president Peña Nieto, is “now pretending to be so concerned about these students after years of stigmatizing Ayotzinapa as a 'breeding ground for guerrillas,' just because the young people protest and demand their right to education.”
The community security authorities also accused Aguirre of a long list of crimes including the murder of Ayotzinapa students Jorge Alexis Herrera Pino and Gabriel Echeverríain a police operation carried out on December 12, 2011. (above photo)
