– Pena Nieto slams protests –
Anger over the suspected massacre boiled over Saturday, with hundreds of students in Guerrero’s capital Chilpancingo torching several trucks and throwing firebombs at the state headquarters.
In Mexico City, a small group of 20 struck the door of the 16th century National Palace with metal barricades and briefly set it on fire with firebombs.
Police reclaimed control of the door and detained 14 people.
Pena Nieto, who uses the palace for ceremonies and lives in another official residence elsewhere in the mega-city, said it was “unacceptable for someone to use this tragedy to justify violence.”
