MEXICO CITY - The newly elected interim governor of the Guerrero Mexican state has set up a truth commission to investigate all the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of the 43 students in Iguana, Mexico.

“We need [a truth commission], so as not to lynch [suspects], but to establish the truth and for justice to prevail. We cannot hold our heads high if we do not find the culprits of these genocidal acts,” Rogelio Ortega Martinez told journalists Monday.

Martinez added that the truth commission will consist of “respectable authorities” of “indisputable” reputation.

Martinez replaced the former mayor Angel Aguirre who voluntarily left office following strong demand from social and political groups protesting against the incident which occurred on September 26.
