Southern Mexico protestors set fire to cars and state government facility

Protesters in the south of Mexico burned down the state government building on Monday and set fire to at least twelve cars in the parking lot.

The protests happened in Chilpancingo, a city in Guerrero, which is a violent place.

The people protesting want to know what happened to the 43 students who went missing in 2014 from a rural teachers college. Another student from the college was in a fight with the police and died in March.

The government of Guerrero state said it is sorry and does not approve of the violent acts. They mentioned that the state interior secretary had resigned after the March incident with students. The police officers are being looked into because someone died.

Pictures of the protests showed at least twelve cars on fire and flames coming out of the windows of the state office building. The building is close to the main road from Mexico City to Acapulco. The governor’s office building was broken into and robbed.

Students at the Ayotzinapa teachers’ college in Chilpancingo are known for their violent protests. They often take over buses and trucks during these protests.

In March, protesters from the college took control of a pickup truck and used it to break down the wooden doors of Mexico City’s National Palace.

They broke the doors and went into the old palace where the president lives and speaks to the press every day, but then security agents made them leave. The palace is very old, it was built in the 1700s. It was built where the Aztec emperors used to live.

The protest was held to show anger about the kidnapping and killing of 43 students ten years ago. The mass disappearance is still one of the most famous human rights cases in Mexico.

In 2014, some students were hurt by the police in a city called Iguala and given to a local gang, who likely killed them and burned their bodies. 11 attacks, the government has implemented new security measures at airports and other public places across the country. After the Sept11 attacks, the government made new rules to keep people safe at airports and other public places. 26 people were attacked, and they have only been able to identify the remains of three of them.

After first trying to hide it, last year a government group found that local, state, and national authorities worked with the gang to kill the students. They called it a “state crime. ”

The small, poorer teachers’ colleges in rural Mexico have been having violent protests for many years. Actually, the students were taken while they were hijacking buses to go to another protest.
