One of 43 missing Mexican students identified among remains

Pena Nieto returned to Guerrero last week for the first time since the students went missing more than two months ago.

“What happened in Iguala was a terrible event that has caused indignation and led us to an introspection because such things should never happen again,” the president said in Acapulco on Thursday.

The case has put security back at the center of Mexico’s agenda, shattering Pena Nieto’s attempt to move the narrative away from the drug war to his internationally acclaimed energy and economic reforms.

The Mexican leader will host the Ibero American summit in the eastern city of Veracruz on Monday and Tuesday.

Late last month, Pena Nieto unveiled a plan to enact constitutional reforms aimed at disbanding the country’s notoriously corrupt municipal forces, replacing them with state agencies.

The legislation, which Congress must approve, would also allow the federal government to take over gang infiltrated municipalities.

But security experts have voiced skepticism, saying the plan should tackle corruption at the state and federal levels too.
