MEXICO CITY - Relatives of a seven-year-old girl murdered in Mexico said on Monday the government had failed to protect her despite their pleas, while President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador appeared to blame the crime on neo-liberal economics.
Sonia Lopez, Aldrighett’s aunt, said the girl could have been found alive if authorities had listened to the family. Mexico City’s attorney general and mayor promised justice and offered a $107,000 reward for information. The attorney general, Ernestina Godoy Ramos, said she would review the office’s handling of the case.Asked about the girl’s death, Lopez Obrador said he was sure authorities would catch the perpetrators, but said punishment alone was not the solution.
Family members and parents protested on Monday outside Aldrighett’s home and her school, where she was seen leaving accompanied by an adult woman last week. #JuticiaParaFatima, or Justice for Fatima, was tweeted 179,000 times and her name was a top global trend.
