Families berate Mexican govt

Mexico City – Demands for justice mounted on Thursday as relatives buried the victims of Mexico City’s metro disaster, accusing the authorities of negligence that cost the lives of 25 people.

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has rejected accusations that his austerity drive was a factor when a section of elevated track collapsed on Monday, bringing a train crashing down. At funerals in the capital, devastated families demanded an explanation for how the tragedy occurred and called for those at fault to be held to account. –
