However, in the case of the 43 students of the normal Ayotzinapa who disappeared in 2014 after an armed attack, López Obrador clarified that "protection and support is being offered to those who provide information."

“We do not lose hope that there are people who participated and help us to know the truth, that we know where the young people of Ayotzinapa are; in this case for fear of reprisals we have all the protection, ”said AMLO.
