[00:12:43] Hello, very good evening, welcome to Reference Point, your
[00:12:46] newscast, I'm Azul Alzaga and Luisa Iglesias on
[00:12:50] this side, Azul, very good evening, good evening, with much, much to
[00:12:53] comment, dear Azul. Of course, remember @mxreferencia
[00:12:57] #puntodereferencia on social networks, we continue talking about young people and perhaps
[00:13:00] now from a serious,
[00:13:03] important angle that is worth, it is totally worth
[00:13:07] talking about it from now, yes, a topic that remains as
[00:13:10] a debt in our
[00:13:15] justice, a new piece of the Ayotzinapa case
[00:13:18] puzzle is added today to the investigations in
[00:13:22] the hands of the Attorney General's Office. For months it
[00:13:26] seemed to be a kind of dead end,
[00:13:29] but a new review of the evidence reopens
[00:13:32] possibilities to advance in the knowledge of the events of that day and
[00:13:36] their subsequent cover-up. The first
[00:13:39] consequence of this new method, methodology
[00:13:42] used by the Attorney General's Office was the arrest
[00:13:45] of Ángel Aguirre Rivero, former governor of
[00:13:49] Guerrero at the time of the disappearance of the normal school students and who
[00:13:52] always denied having been aware of any participation of state
[00:13:56] authorities in the events or of having intervened in their investigation,
[00:14:00] however, the review of the actions carried out up to this point
[00:14:04] identified the existence of key videos from
[00:14:07] security cameras of the Iguala Palace of Justice that were
[00:14:11] disappeared or deleted. The videos captured the Estrella de Oro
[00:14:15] bus number 1531 in which
[00:14:18] the group of normal school students was traveling at the moment it was
[00:14:21] stopped by municipal and state police. Its elimination
[00:14:25] would have occurred not as an error, not as a technical failure, but apparently
[00:14:28] by express order of the former governor of
[00:14:31] Guerrero. The first official
[00:14:35] versions indicated that said material did
[00:14:39] not exist due to alleged technical failures of the
[00:14:42] system, however, subsequent
[00:14:46] investigations proved that version
[00:14:50] false. in January 2026, a
[00:14:53] collaborating person provided testimony that
[00:14:57] confirmed the existence of the
[00:15:00] video recordings and indicated who extracted them to
[00:15:04] deliver them directly to Ángel
[00:15:08] N, in addition to referring to threats that explained his
[00:15:11] previous silence. And last May, another
[00:15:15] testimony also denounced the former governor of
[00:15:17] Guerrero. In May
[00:15:21] 2026, a second protected witness
[00:15:25] strengthened said testimony by pointing out that Ángel
[00:15:29] N ordered, in a meeting with high-level
[00:15:33] officials of his government,
[00:15:36] to disappear any evidence
[00:15:39] related to the events that occurred in the
[00:15:42] vicinity of the Palace of Justice in
[00:15:45] Iguala. The Prosecutor's Office has
[00:15:48] probative elements that prove that said
[00:15:52] conceal was given directly
[00:15:56] by the then governor with the participation of
[00:16:00] high-level state public servants.
[00:16:03] These and other elements
[00:16:07] obtained in our investigation, allow
[00:16:10] us to maintain that far from being an isolated
[00:16:13] act or technical omission, the
[00:16:16] concealment of the recordings was the
[00:16:20] result of a malicious operation
[00:16:23] and deliberately structured from the
[00:16:26] top of the state executive
[00:16:28] power. This morning Ángel Aguirre was arrested in
[00:16:32] Teposizotlán, State of Mexico for concealment and obstruction of
[00:16:35] evidence. The governor of Guerrero is already in the federal prison
[00:16:39] of Altiplano where, well, from where Fátima Gómez from Television
[00:16:43] Mexiquense reports to us today. Go ahead Fátima, very good
[00:16:47] evening. Very good evening, I greet you from Ceferezo
[00:16:50] number one, Altiplano here in the municipality of Almoloya de
[00:16:54] Juárez, where tonight the former governor of Guerrero
[00:16:57] Ángel N will sleep inside, this, well, because today he entered
[00:17:01] around 3:20 in the afternoon in the middle
[00:17:05] of an integrated security device. a group of special
[00:17:08] operations of the Attorney General's Office for his alleged
[00:17:11] participation in the disappearance of the 43 of Ayotzinapa,
[00:17:15] I inform you that it was around 5:17 hours when his
[00:17:18] entry into this prison was formally carried out after
[00:17:22] certain revisions that have to be carried out and, well, also highlight
[00:17:28] morning around 9:46 hours when he was arrested in
[00:17:31] the municipality of Tepotsotlán, State of Mexico near the toll booth of the
[00:17:35] Mexico Querétaro highway by elements of the Secretariat of Security and Citizen
[00:17:39] Protection in compliance with an arrest warrant for his alleged
[00:17:43] participation in crimes against the administration of justice and
[00:17:46] forced disappearance of people, it is expected that, well, the
[00:17:50] former governor will be presented before a control judge so that the
[00:17:54] initial hearing can be held, preliminarily it
[00:17:57] had been reported that it would be today, however we
[00:18:01] went precisely to the federal justice center, they informed us that no
[00:18:05] hearing is scheduled at the moment for which it is expected that tomorrow
[00:18:08] or in the next few hours it may be held, however
[00:18:12] we will be attentive to what happens here in the
[00:18:15] municipality, I return to you in the studio, good evening, we
[00:18:19] thank you very much Fátima and yes, let's see, beyond the accreditation of
[00:18:23] other responsible parties involved in the disappearance of the normal school students and
[00:18:26] this cover-up, the arrest of Aguirre strengthens
[00:18:30] also ongoing investigation lines that are pointing to filling gaps
[00:18:34] of what happened, one of the big pieces that they tried to keep
[00:18:37] hidden under this mantle of that historical truth, is the
[00:18:41] existence of a fifth truck considered key to finding the
[00:18:44] cause of the disappearance, as we mentioned, so let's see what it's about,
[00:19:00] the Attorney General's Office altered expert opinions and
[00:19:03] hid the route of bus 3278 of the Estrella
[00:19:06] Roja line, involved in the Ayotzinapa
[00:19:09] case, this concealment operation is not a minor
[00:19:12] issue,
[00:19:15] as it could represent the motive for the attack and disappearance of which the
[00:19:19] students of the Ayotzinapa normal school were victims in September
[00:19:22] 2014,
[00:19:28] this concealment operation would not have been possible without the approval of the
[00:19:31] office of the then prosecutor Jesús
[00:19:35] Murillo Karam, the PGR tried by all means to conceal
[00:19:37] the existence of this fifth bus in its reports, conferences and communications,
[00:19:42] it only mentioned the two from the Costa Line and two Estrella de Oro taken
[00:19:45] that September 26 by the students
[00:19:49] taking them to the Raúl Isidro Burgos normal school and then traveling to
[00:19:53] Mexico City to join the mobilizations on the occasion of the
[00:19:56] October 2 massacre in
[00:19:58] Tlatelolco.
[00:20:00] The investigations of the interdisciplinary group of independent experts, the
[00:20:05] unlike the other four buses, this fifth one took another
[00:20:09] route towards the southern beltway and then the road that connects
[00:20:12] Iguala with the capital Chilpancingo.
[00:20:15] The Estrella Roja
[00:20:18] at least initially, the aggressions by the hitmen of the
[00:20:22] Guerreros Unidos and the agents of the municipal police of Iguala and Cocula
[00:20:26] colluding with the criminals. In its
[00:20:28] reports, the Commission for the truth of the Ayotzinapa case and the GIEI, point out
[00:20:32] that on the night of the disappearance, federal, state and
[00:20:36] municipal forces set up between 16 and 17 checkpoints to cover
[00:20:40] all access points and exits of Iguala, however, the Estrella Roja was not
[00:20:43] stopped, it crossed without major problems. The
[00:20:47] investigations indicate that this bus was transporting a cargo
[00:20:50] of heroin worth several million dollars with final destination to the city of
[00:20:54] Chicago. Various DEA reports and
[00:20:58] GIEI reports indicate that the Guerreros Unidos cartel used secret compartments
[00:21:02] in this type of passenger units to traffic heroin
[00:21:05] and cocaine to the United States.
[00:21:09] The students would have taken that vehicle without knowing about its precious
[00:21:13] cargo.
[00:21:16] On its way, at the height of the Palace of Justice on the outskirts of Iguala,
[00:21:20] the bus would have been intercepted and escorted by the federal police,
[00:21:24] forcing the 14 students who were traveling in it to get off amidst
[00:21:27] threats and gunshots, that group of
[00:21:30] students is part of the 43
[00:21:32] disappeared,
[00:21:35] that scene would have been recorded by the cameras of the Palace of Justice, however
[00:21:39] there is no trace of those
[00:21:40] videos,
[00:21:43] there all signal of that bus was lost, which hours later was
[00:21:47] located in a tow yard located on the Mexico highway.
[00:21:55] Reference point,
[00:22:07] well, there are already reactions after this arrest of the former governor of
[00:22:11] Guerrero, Manuel Vázquez Arellano, he is
[00:22:14] currently a Morena deputy and is also a survivor of Ayotzinapa, he
[00:22:18] insisted that... the former governor of Guerrero, Miguel Ángel
[00:22:22] Aguirre, participated in the case of the disappearance of the 43
[00:22:25] normal school students of Ayotzinapa and shared a video in which he expresses his
[00:22:29] desire for the former official to reveal information about more implicated people and
[00:22:33] what were the evidences that he ordered
[00:22:35] to destroy. I agree that Ángel Aguirre
[00:22:39] Rivero has responsibility in the case, we have said it for many years and
[00:22:43] finally it is proven according to the prosecutor's office that it was Ángel
[00:22:47] Aguirre Rivero who ordered the destruction of evidence
[00:22:50] near the palace of justice in Iguala where we could
[00:22:54] see what happened or who took our
[00:22:56] colleagues.
[00:22:59] Let's go with other information because the federal government and avocado
[00:23:02] producers are already working on a plan to reactivate exports
[00:23:06] to the United States. This comes after a security alert was issued for
[00:23:09] Michoacán which led to the withdrawal of its fruit inspection
[00:23:13] personnel and temporarily stopped the shipment of avocado to the neighboring
[00:23:17] country. As part of the actions, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs requested a
[00:23:20] meeting with the US Department of Agriculture
[00:23:24] to propose the possibility of foreign inspectors being
[00:23:27] replaced by Mexican health
[00:23:30] personnel.
[00:23:32] To export avocado, the orchards
[00:23:36] where it is produced as
[00:23:39] well as the packing
[00:23:42] facilities, the packing areas
[00:23:46] have to be inspected, so we met with them and we are making a very important
[00:23:50] work plan to... further guarantee security in certain
[00:23:53] areas where there was not as much
[00:23:57] presence of the National Guard and as part of this plan, the Secretary of National
[00:24:01] Defense deployed more than 1,500 elements
[00:24:05] in Michoacán to combat extortion and monitor inspection points for food
[00:24:08] sanitation services, in addition to carrying out patrols and
[00:24:12] reconnaissance tasks in nine municipalities, including
[00:24:15] Apatzingán, Aguililla, Buenavista, Cotija and
[00:24:18] Zamora. And precisely speaking of clarifications,
[00:24:22] the Secretary of Health reported that there is no
[00:24:25] outbreak of cyclosporiasis in our country, in fact he already made a
[00:24:28] call again to the population
[00:24:32] was detailed is that the 33 identified cases in
[00:24:36] Mexico barely represent
[00:24:41] the population, and well, even being such a low
[00:24:45] percentage, epidemiological surveillance remains
[00:24:48] very active, also a series of recommendations
[00:24:52] were shared to prevent this disease, which are hand washing
[00:24:55] before preparing food, before eating, washing and
[00:24:59] disinfecting fruits and vegetables too, as you know,
[00:25:02] drinking only potable
[00:25:04] water.
[00:25:07] Well, and today the long-awaited moment arrived to hear the
[00:25:10] opinion of a multidisciplinary committee of experts on the
[00:25:14] possibilities that exist for unconventional gas extraction in
[00:25:17] the country, a procedure identified
[00:25:20] as fracking. On this topic, two situations are equally
[00:25:24] relevant, the need to produce our own
[00:25:27] gas to be able to stop importing from other countries and that this is
[00:25:30] done without paying the environmental and social cost of traditional fracking.
[00:25:34] The big question with which the participants of this expert committee
[00:25:38] left weeks ago is whether this is possible, where, how and under
[00:25:42] what conditions? The first thing that seems clear is that there are areas
[00:25:45] of the country where unconventional extraction is simply not
[00:25:48] recommended.
[00:25:52] They ask us to prohibit the
[00:25:56] exploitation of unconventional gas in the
[00:25:59] Tampico Misantla basin, mainly Veracruz
[00:26:03] and a part of southern Tamaulipas, because it is
[00:26:06] socially and environmentally unviable, in the others
[00:26:09] it is feasible, yes or no, first of
[00:26:12] all we have to see if there is salt water in the
[00:26:14] subsoil before anything
[00:26:17] else and see the feasibility of
[00:26:21] whether there is gas,
[00:26:23] until that happens we cannot say if we continue
[00:26:26] moving forward, well, we already heard that what
[00:26:30] also became clear is that in the case of other areas, the analysis will have to
[00:26:34] be done on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the existence, for
[00:26:37] example, of saltwater in the subsoil as a condition, but also
[00:26:40] another series of factors that, if met, could lead to unconventional
[00:26:44] exploitation based on a technology that is not the
[00:26:48] same as the one that existed before,
[00:26:52] so within the framework of energy sovereignty, what should we do
[00:26:55] responsibly, protect communities, protect
[00:26:59] people, protect the environment and see
[00:27:02] if new technologies, new, because there is a lot of
[00:27:06] scientific and technological development on this
[00:27:09] issue, us allow for the
[00:27:12] production of unconventional gas in Mexico in certain
[00:27:15] areas, so that's what we are making available
[00:27:18] today. Well, what are the other
[00:27:22] recommendations proposed by this committee of experts? Let's
[00:27:25] see.
[00:27:30] The committee of scientists and researchers presented 10
[00:27:33] recommendations to the federal government to consider for the
[00:27:36] exploration of unconventional natural gas reserves and to carry
[00:27:40] out hydraulic fracturing. Our country's
[00:27:43] priority should be to rapidly incorporate new renewable
[00:27:47] sources of electricity generation, which is a very
[00:27:50] important conclusion. The second conclusion is that energy
[00:27:53] efficiency measures and programs must be implemented at a national
[00:27:56] level. The third conclusion is fundamental:
[00:27:59] increasing national production of conventional
[00:28:02] natural gas. To carry out this process, large quantities
[00:28:06] of water that is not for human consumption are needed,
[00:28:09] meaning it must be saline. The
[00:28:12] recommendation is to drill wells to confirm the existence of saline
[00:28:15] water in deep water bodies that are not connected
[00:28:19] to shallow aquifers. We are
[00:28:21] proposing to drill a series of deep wells,
[00:28:25] but let me clarify, these are not wells for extracting
[00:28:28] gas, they are wells for geological research
[00:28:32] purposes to determine that saline water indeed
[00:28:35] exists, that it has specific volumes and that it has its
[00:28:39] own hydrogeochemical characteristics suitable for carrying out
[00:28:43] fracturing. It is also recommended to confirm
[00:28:46] natural gas reserves in unconventional
[00:28:49] deposits through specialized studies and well
[00:28:52] drilling, as well as to implement best practices in waste
[00:28:56] management for more sustainable use, less
[00:28:59] harmful, and environmental protection actions.
[00:29:02] President Claudia Sheinbaum emphasized the recommendation to
[00:29:06] consult the population before carrying out any
[00:29:09] project, that all information be public,
[00:29:13] transparent, and also that
[00:29:16] there
[00:29:18] be a public consultation before starting any type of
[00:29:22] production in the area, in case of nearby population, a
[00:29:26] consultation should be held to see if the people agree. The
[00:29:30] experts recommended incentivizing local suppliers
[00:29:33] to foster regional employment, as well as
[00:29:36] establishing scientific, external, and independent
[00:29:39] monitoring to support the implementation of projects,
[00:29:43] the protection of ecosystems, and to provide
[00:29:46] permanent technical advice.
[00:29:49] Rubén, point of
[00:29:51] reference.
[00:29:54] For its part, the Federal Prosecutor's Office for Environmental Protection will sanction
[00:29:57] Grupo México, owned by Germán Larrea, and well, it will
[00:30:01] demand a remediation program from said company
[00:30:04] for the spill of 70,000 liters of sodium hydrosulfide into the
[00:30:08] San Pedro River in Naco, Sonora, after that
[00:30:11] train derailment that occurred last July
[00:30:14] 25. The announcement was made by the head of Profepa, Mariana
[00:30:18] Boy, during a working interview, a working
[00:30:22] visit to Sonora. The official reported that the first
[00:30:25] stage of cleaning and evaluation in this entire affected
[00:30:28] area has concluded, and well, it turns out that for a
[00:30:31] week, the removal of the spilled copper
[00:30:34] concentrate, as well as the gondolas and tank car involved
[00:30:38] in said accident, was supervised. Regarding possible effects on the
[00:30:41] population, she specified that the follow-up is being carried out by the
[00:30:44] Sonora Health Secretariat, and she also confirmed that one person remains
[00:30:48] hospitalized and is also awaiting the results of
[00:30:52] these medical studies.
[00:30:55] And yesterday we told you about a series of measures with which the government of the
[00:30:59] capital of
