Mexican Senator Calls to Stop Politicizing Colosio Murder Case

Senator Luis Donaldo Colosio Rojas criticizes President Claudia Sheinbaum for denying a pardon to his father's killer and calls for an end to the politicization of the case, which he calls a national tragedy.


Senator Luis Donaldo Colosio Rojas asked President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo to stop politically capitalizing on his father's murder, as no government has ever delivered justice, and Mexico must move on from this case. After the head of state refused to grant a pardon to Mario Aburto, the confessed murderer of the PRI's former presidential candidate, whom the senator had requested in the past, he tried to evade the topic. — What do you say to her? — Nothing, may God bless her. The president has the power, but not the will, and since she doesn't have it, none of her advisors do either. It's not just her issue. He rejected the claim that the so-called 'Fourth Transformation' now wants to reopen the case regarding the alleged second shooter, CISEN agent Jorge Antonio Sánchez, who, at the time, was apparently protected by Genaro García Luna, the former Secretary of Security, now imprisoned in the United States for ties to organized crime. — That theory is not new. They are not delivering justice; they are politicizing a case that was a tragedy for Mexico. — It's a strategy of the current regime because they want to make noise and want to hit differently to justify their misdeeds. He believes that there will certainly be no justice in the case, so it is time to limit ourselves to ensuring it does not happen again. — Give the case a burial. That same person was caught 30 years ago. It's not her will, there hasn't been the will of any president in the last 30 years. 32 years after his father's murder, Colosio Rojas criticized Sheinbaum for not wanting to opt for a pardon, especially since it is a crime of state, she has that power. — The man has already spent more than 30 years in prison. They are not discovering anything new, don't try to make us look like fools! Let's ensure that what happened to us 30 years ago doesn't happen today, instead of trying to get justice 30 years later, let's get justice today so that no child in Mexico goes through what we went through. He reiterated that personally, he has already forgiven the murderer of his father. — I already forgave him many years ago. None of this is new. Stop politically capitalizing on the Colosio case! Let Mexico move on, yes we can! The senator showed annoyance with the questions. — Justice was done for me when my children were born.
