“That trust can not be disappointed,” he said and warned that these unfortunate events in Acapulco can generate economic damage by the withdrawal of Spanish and European tourism in the Mexican resorts.

“We can not resign ourselves to that insecurity prevents citizens from around the world visit us because we can not guarantee the minimum required security,” he said in a statement.

The Institute also president Belisario Dominguez said that Mexico has to show its capacity for research and application of justice, so sued the federal, state and municipal spare no resources to clarify the facts.

It is necessary, he insisted, provide care for the victims and their companions, make capturing their attackers and then take actions and decisions so that crimes of this nature resubmitted against any foreign or domestic tourists.
