MEXICO CITY - Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Monday appeared to blame the murder of a seven-year-old girl on the “neoliberal economic model,” angering critics who say the government has failed to stem a wave of gender violence.
In response, the president said he was sure authorities would catch the perpetrators of the crime, but said punishment alone was not the solution. Family members and parents gathered in protest on Monday outside Aldrighett’s home and her school, where she was seen leaving from accompanied by an adult woman last week. More than 100,000 users on Twitter posted @JuticiaParaFatima, and her name was a top global trend.
Lopez Obrador on Monday publicly asked the feminist protesters not to paint the walls and door of the palace, saying his government was working to end the murder of women.
