MEXICO: Zerón appointment overshadows Grito
President Enrique Peña Nieto came under fire this week for a highly controversial appointment. After Tomás Zerón de Lucio stepped aside as director of the criminal investigation agency (AIC) of the federal attorney general’s office (PGR), it was widely hailed as a positive, if long overdue, move by Peña Nieto; relatives of the 43 trainee students who were abducted, and almost certainly murdered, in September 2014 in Iguala, Guerrero, have demanded Zerón’s dismissal, arguing that, at best, he concealed the truth in the AIC investigation into the tragic incident. Joy swiftly turned to dismay, however, after the government announced that Zerón had been appointed as technical secretary of the national public security council (CNSP).
