Luis Echeverria, Mexico Leader Blamed for Massacres, Dies

Man Sentenced For Killing Wife Who Had Searched Online ‘What to Do If Your Husband Is Upset You Are Pregnant'

In 2005, a judge ruled Echeverria could not be tried on genocide charges stemming from the 1971 killings, saying that while Echeverria may have been responsible for homicide, the statute of limitations for that crime expired in 1985. ."He delayed for a long time the inevitable process of democracy that began in 1968," Hernández Gamundi said, referring to the fact that the massacre became a catalyst for activists trying to end a system of one-party presidential rule. “October 2 marked the beginning of the end of the old regime, but it took many years afterward.”

Shortly afterward, he began his political career with PRI. He later held posts in the navy and Education Department, advanced to chief administrative officer of the PRI and organized the presidential campaign of Adolfo Lopez Mateos, who was Mexico’s leader from 1958-64.
