President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has adjusted its strategy for next year’s elections and sought to close the vicious circle of responsibility for the political past by reopening the case Murder of Luis Donaldo Colosio, who ran for the presidency of the Republic for the PRI in the 1994 elections; according to Raymundo Riva Palacio, published in his column of September 19th.
“The reopening of Colosio case “The aim is to reformulate the conclusions of four prosecutors from different positions,” explains the journalist, pointing out Mario Aburto was declared the lone murderer at whom the two shots were fired Colosseum and that he was not taken away from the PGR delegation in Tijuana to be interrogated by the then governor of Sonora, Manlio Fabio Beltrones, at which point he would have been tortured to incriminate himself.
The journalist points out that it was originally planned to use the verdict against Genaro García Luna, the former Minister of Public Security, as a trigger to discredit the PAN from October next year, but the verdict was postponed until March. The new targets are now former President Carlos Salinas, José Córdoba Montoya and the CISEN, whom they want to accuse of torture and violations of due process. Riva Palacio remembers it Assassination of Colosio It was one of the first issues presented to the president by Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero “to settle political scores with the past.”
It is said to link former President Carlos Salinas to the alleged order to the governor of Sonora to travel to Tijuana on the night of Assassination of Colosio to receive confidential information. They are also trying to implicate the CISEN, led by Jorge Tello Peón, because of the presence near the crime scene of an agent whose shirt was stained with blood, apparently due to his help in the transfer of the body of Colosseum. In addition, an attempt is being made to identify José Córdoba Montoya as a suspected accomplice in the crime due to his position and his friendship with the replacement candidate Colosseum Ernesto Zedillo.
AMLO reopens it Colosio case
The starting point is a complaint from Ruben Aburto brother of Mario Aburto the confessed murderer of Luis Donaldo Colosio, on February 17, 2021, before the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH). In the complaint Abbott alleged human rights violations, including lack of adequate medical care and cruel treatment.
A week later, the CNDH issued precautionary measures in favor Abbott and announced his intention to reopen Colosio case in light of new evidence and statements he has provided. However, in October of that year, the CNDH, led by Rosario Piedra, issued a recommendation alleging torture and due process violations, without providing solid documentation to support its conclusions or additional evidence to support its claims.
The interest in Colosio case during the government of Lopez Obrador It gained strength in December when the President gave his authorization to Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero to begin preparations, explains Riva Palacio. For this purpose, around fifty employees were assigned to work on the case.
The letter, sent in March this year, said: Abbott He claimed that his rights had been violated because he did not have sufficient resources to appeal the allegations against him. “I have already read the parents’ letter Abbott I have already submitted it to the Ministry of the Interior (Segob) for consideration and checked whether there are options for reopening Colosio case “It will happen,” AMLO emphasized in his morning conference on March 25th.
The Viperine Languages of La Silla Rota noted on March 6 that the Attorney General of the Republic, Alejandro Gertz Manero, was summoned by a judge to present a report confirming or denying that Arbusto Martínez was tortured admits his guilt in the murder of the candidate. In February, LSR announced that a case would be opened as part of a strategy by the President of the Republic. This mention came a few weeks after another year had passed since the assassination attempt.
In an interview conducted the same year with Abbott The accused of journalist Laura Sánchez, imprisoned for more than 27 years, claimed that he had done nothing and declared: “I am innocent.”
