Mexico City. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador received this afternoon at the National Palace, privately, a group of widowed women of mining workers from Pasta de Conchos and El Pinabete. The meeting lasted just over two hours.
At the end of the meeting, López Obrador, through a message on social networks, reported: “I met with the wives and mothers of the miners from Pasta de Conchos and El Pinabete to evaluate the progress of the rescue work carried out by technicians from the CFE and support for their families.”
A photo of the meeting held at the National Palace illustrates the message.

Most of the widows from Pasta de Conchos who attended did not want to speak. A man who accompanied them told them “remember not to give information to anyone, and I will accompany them to their bus,” parked on Calle de Correo Mayor.
Aída Griselda Farid, widow of Eliud Valero Valero, a miner from Pasta de Conchos, was the only one who spoke for a few minutes: How did the meeting go? she was asked.
– Very good thank god. Good news for us at Pasta de Conchos. We are waiting for President López Obrador, there in Pasta de Conchos, soon in June.
-What is the good news that the president gave you?
-Such good news?
-That the rescue does not stop, even if he leaves, the rescue will continue until the end, as he promised, and we believe in his word.
– Is there still no date for the rescue of the bodies?
– No, as we, who are there, know, there is still a little water and right now what they are doing is gasifying. There is gas, but very soon, let’s hope they begin the search for our husbands.
The National Coordinator of Civil Protection, Laura Velázquez, stated, upon leaving the meeting: “it went very well, wonderful. It was a report that the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) gave to President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on the progress of both Pasta de Conchos and El Pinabete. So it is very important, it is a commitment that is being fulfilled by the head of the Federal Executive. To invite them in the month of April, here, to the National Palace.
-What stands out in the report?
-Good, the second part of Pinabete, which we already know is very relevant, that they have already started all the security work so that they can now enter underground and in Pasta de Conchos, which is admirable, in one of the luminaries they reached galleries and They are still waiting two more weeks to arrive for the other one and immediately begin the recovery of bodies.
-Are you left with any task, any commitment?
-We continue working until the end, in 15 days I will be there, as I do every 15 days, I am in Pinabete and in Pasta de Conchos accompanying the ladies (widows), giving a report on the progress and confirming that the work is of 24 hours for seven and we are not going to fail, until the last day we are going to work.
-What did the president say to the widows?
-That they have confidence that we are a government that keeps its word that we have a commitment to them, one word and we are going to fully fulfill it.
