Mexico City, Sep 26 (EFE).- Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador marked Saturday's sixth anniversary of the abduction of 43 students at Ayotzinapa teachers college by apologizing to their parents on behalf of the government. "I offer you apologies in the name of the state because we are facing a great injustice committed by the Mexican state," he told the families during a ceremony at the National Palace. On Dec. 3, 2018, two days after his inauguration, Lopez Obrador signed a decree for the creation of a truth commission to get to the bottom of the case. Six months later, the federal attorney general's office established a special, independent unit to conduct the probe. (Camera: MIGUEL ANGEL ANDRADE).
