00:00In Mexico, every month, relatives and companions of the 43 students from Ayotzinapa, who disappeared

00:05more than 10 years ago, take to the streets, this time at the end of the year, to visit

00:09the Temple of the Virgin of Guadalupe.

00:11Daniel Rosas, our correspondent, with more details.

00:14As they do every month, the families of the 43 disappeared from Ayotzinapa arrived in

00:29Mexico City to make a pilgrimage to the Basilica of Guadalupe.

00:35We ask for a softening of the hearts of those people who took our children away.

00:40The pilgrimage for the students is also taking place.

00:47Like every year end, since more than 10 years ago, when their children were disappeared,

00:52they walked to Guadalupe to ask for the favor of the indigenous Virgin.

01:00Let us hope that we are in good health to move forward and that we can find the boys

01:03and ask the Virgin Mary to touch the hearts of these indolent authorities.

01:12In early December, they had a meeting with Claudia Scheinbaum, already in her capacity

01:18as President of Mexico, and she committed to continue the investigation.

01:25We have no choice but to continue the dialogue with the President, the meetings, to discuss

01:29issues that lead to the investigation, because that is our priority.

01:37The slogans for truth and justice do not change, but they trust that their faith will give

01:42them the strength to continue their struggle.

01:46The pain persists despite the fact that more than 10 years and three months have passed.

01:51The pain, the sadness, the absence of these relatives are still there.

01:55Life is not the way we want it to be.

02:12In the Basilica, they are received with a message.

02:15Do not get tired, be firm, keep searching for the truth, before participating in the

02:20mass that they hope will grant them the favors requested to the Virgin of Guadalupe.
