President Claudia Sheinbaum reported this Friday that the Government filed a complaint with the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), in support of the Attorney General’s Office (FGR), about the bomb threats in recent weeks at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
Sheinbaum pointed out this Friday in his morning conference that the origin of the threats is being investigated and analyzing whether it is “a mockery, a joke or something orchestrated in order to generate some provocation within the university.”
He also reported that the Attorney General’s Office of Mexico City is carrying out investigations into the altercations that occurred during the protests on October 2 in memory of the Tlatelolco massacre, in which police officers were attacked and businesses looted by members of the ‘Bloque Negro’ group, masked individuals calling themselves anarchists.
“They are young people who dress in black, who cover their faces, and who in some cases are university students and in other cases are not university students, who have acted inside some facilities and in general act outside when there are demonstrations,” explained the president.
Regarding the murder of the student by another young man at the UNAM College of Sciences and Humanities Plantel Sur in Mexico City, Sheinbaum pointed out that it is “a different phenomenon from the previous ones” because these are generated on social networks by “groups of young people who come together due to some situation and that unfortunately trigger violence.”
Find out: One month after the pipe explosion in Iztapalapa, the number of 31 deaths and 9 people hospitalized remains the same.
“It is rather an issue of attention to mental health or social phenomena that are occurring mainly through social networks. And that is where we are working, in comprehensive care for young people, not only from the National University, but other young people in the country and particularly young students,” said the Mexican.
Although he regretted that without the authorization of the UNAM they cannot intervene: “If the university authority asks us for support for any issue within the framework of its autonomy, we will always be there.”
“In any case, it is necessary to listen to the young people, the students, the situation they are experiencing today and greater support is required for the students (…). It is very important that there is not a division between the university authority and its community and that there is more and more rapprochement to understand the situation that the students and also the academics are experiencing,” he concluded.
