A group of Ayotzinapa students tried to storm the National Palace in Mexico City to protest the disappearance of 43 students in Mexico in 2014. To make their point, they tried ramming a truck into the wooden doors of the presidential palace.

According to the Yucatan Times, the student protesters used a white pickup truck from Mexico's state electrical company to try to go through to the doors of the Mexican presidential palace while President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador was giving his daily press conference inside.

The protesters then tried to storm the presidential palace, but authorities responded quickly, using tear gas to disperse the group and erected barriers within the palace to stop them from penetrating even further.

Local media who were in the area reported that some of the student protesters who attempted to break into the Mexico National Palace have already been arrested, though it is not clear if there were still some protesters inside.

The case of the missing students, even though it happened a decade ago, is still shaking Mexico up to this day. There have been various protests for the missing students, known as the Ayotzinapa 43, who went missing while on their way to Mexico City to mark the 1968 Tlatelolco student massacre. They were intercepted by police and went missing from there.

Mexico authorities have speculated that the police turned the students over to a local cartel, which disposed of them. The local cartel reportedly had ties to corrupt Mexican authorities, and there was reportedly a cover-up over their disappearance as those involved included some very powerful officials.

Mexico President Reacts To Student Protest and Attempted Break-In

The student protesters rammed the truck while Mexico President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador was speaking to reporters during his daily news conference. He reacted to the attempted storming of the Mexico National Palace shortly after the incident happened.

AMLO, as he is called by media, told reporters that the attempted break-in was a "very clear plan of provocation" for authorities to respond violently, according to Al Jazeera News.

"They would like us to respond violently. We're not going to do it. We're not repressors," he said in another news conference shortly after the attempted break-in. , "The door will be fixed, and there's no problem."

Families of Ayotzinapa 43 Fear Mexico Will Restart Investigation from Scratch With New Administration

An independent government investigation found that the disappearance of the student was a state crime, which meant that it was the fault of the government.

With AMLO's term ending next year, relatives of those missing students are afraid that they might not know what truly happened to them as the "error-plagued investigation over from scratch yet again," even though 10 years have already passed, according to the Associated Press.
