Chilpancingo, Guerrero, Mexico - On Thursday, Governor Ángel Heladio Aguirre Rivero, 58, of Guerrero during a press conference announced his resignation after weeks of protests and marches in the state and Mexico seeking justice for the missing 43 students from the Raúl Isidro Burgos school in Ayotzinapa. Rivero was accused of being involved in the disappearance of the students on September 26 in Iguala.
Rivero's PRD political party was moving forward to oust Rivero in wake of unrest, protests and his alleged implication in the disappearance of the students. He has not been charged yet in connection with the September 26 murder of 6 people including students in Iguala.
