The opposition politician heavily criticized the administration of President Peña Nieto, reiterating his call for him to step down.

Former presidential candidate and leader of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has said that "all institutions in Mexico are at the service of the mafia.”
