Chilpancingo, Gro. (Apro) .- One of the 43 missing normalistas Ayotzinapa is enlisted as a soldier on active duty, but his identity was classified as "confidential", revealed the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA).
"Providing the information represents a real risk to the safety of the family of the missing military, because they could be easily identified, resulting in possible attacks against them," the Sedena to this news weekly Proceso.
In mid-April, the reporter made a request for information to this federal agency 77315- -folio in which he asked if among the missing normalistas were any active duty soldiers .
This request was made due to a line of research being followed on the level of infiltration of government agents in the rural normal school "Raúl Isidro Burgos", considered by authorities and politicians as "hotbed of guerrilla".
Last week, the Department of Defense issued an official response which makes the following disclosure:
"From our search of records, we located a person corresponding to the name of one of the 42 missing students from the Isidro Burgos Rural School referred to in your application; however, the name is classified as confidential because it is personal data. "
This is indicated in the office as 2433, signed by the deputy chief administrative and logistics staff of the Department of Defense, General David Cordova Campos.
The resolution called "confidential" justifies reserving the name of the member of the military on active duty who was a student at the Normal Ayotzinapa and part of group of 43 young people who disappeared during the night of 26 and morning of September 27 in Iguala.
This because the to provide the soldier's name, "would enhance significantly a threat to the detriment of the lives, safety and health of his family," says the resolution of the Department of Defense.
Then he adds: "Since the information could be used by disaffected military groups, including organized crime, endangering the lives, safety and health of the family of the missing military".
This opens a new line of investigation in the Ayotzinapa case; it had not been addressed by the federal government to explain the reason for which authorities acted in collusion with crime against normalistas 43 missing, including a soldier on active duty.
