Two weeks after the disappearance of the students, the Guerrero government offered 100,000 pesos per head to his parents, not to talk and stop looking for them.

Parents and relatives of the missing Ayotzinapa normalistas reveal what was said at meetings on Friday with students from El Colegio de Mexico and the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), in separate meetings.

"People come from the government saying, 'You know what,? do you need anything?...we can help with anything… Look, sign these papers, and we will give 100 thousand dollars?'.

What for? To get us to shut up”, Gaspar Barnabas Abraham, father of Adam Abraham de la Cruz, one of the missing students  told students and faculty at El Colegio de Mexico.

"Many fellow parents also were thinking about the governments offer to pay that large amount of money.   We told them: ' My son is not for sale for a hundred thousand dollars." That's why we walk from school to school, looking for support for our children back, "he continued his story.

Clemente Rodriguez Moreno, father of Christian Rodriguez, 19, asked himself if  his son was being punished for getting an education and reading books and blamed the authorities of the three levels of government for collaborating with organized crime groups committing murders and forced disappearances.



We do not know where they are, what happened to them, if they are wearing the same clothes, beaten or tortured. I'm waiting with open arms and will fight to find my son and his companions no matter what happens to me, if it's the last thing I do.  I want to find my son if it's the last time I see him, he said in a voice broken by grief.

I feel in my heart (my son) is alive, but the damn government stabbed me in the depths of my heart, where it hurts me. The song says that men should not mourn, but the truth is a fucking pain I can not stand, Rodriguez complained to cheers, shouts of solidarity and tears of many students south campus of the College of Sciences and Humanities, UNAM, with whom they met in the morning.

He insisted that the federal government has done nothing, neither found anything. It’s been 35 days, so I want to advertise, if there is a camera here from the media,  if my son is watching me, if you listen to me, do not despair, I'm on é l, go for the 43 young people. Whatever happens to me,  if it is the last thing I do in this life,  I want is to see them alive, he continued with his story, which caused of many of those present to cry.

The farmer blamed the governor Ángel Aguirre Rivero, the ex-town mayor of Iguala,
José Luis Abarca;  the officials  of Cocula, César Miguel Peñaloza, and the police officers of both town halls of the happened and that's why they should be in the jail."

“Iguala  is a graveyard"

Cordelio Valentín González, brother of Gabriel García Hernández, one of the 43 missing men, said “Iguala is a cemetery”,  ​​in reference to the large number of mass graves have been found there in recent weeks, but warned that the government  will not go collecting bodies and then leave them at our homes, as the government wants.

Relatives of the missing on Wednesday lamented that President Peña Nieto did not give them the results of research to find the 43 boys living.

"The president said to us: 'I do not know, nor does  the PGR.  There is no deceit, we are telling the truth, and we will investigate and agree with a lot of things,’ said Jose Solano, normal student Ayotzinapa, who said he was disappointed because we expected different responses President.
