Victim families confront Mexico president-elect over amnesty

Mexico’s president-elect faced the toughest, angriest crowd yet since winning the July 1 election, going before relatives of crime victims and disappeared people Friday to try to convince them of his amnesty proposal.

Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has proposed investigations and truth commissions to find out the fate of missing people, but also says some offenders should be pardoned.

Some of the relatives who attended the forum in Mexico City reacted angrily, shouting “Justice! Justice!” and “Don’t forgive, don’t forget!”

Lopez Obrador has often said that “you cannot fight violence with violence.” Amnesty is needed to . . .
