MEXICO
CITY — Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador says “neofascists”
and conservatives are blaming the government for a helicopter crash
that killed two opposition politicians.
Lopez
Obrador refused to speculate on what caused the crash, but military
experts said no explosive devices were found in the wreckage.
Mexico
asked the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board for help with a
probe, but the U.S. government shutdown has delayed the request.
Lopez
Obrador said Wednesday that social media videos that suggest the
helicopter was shot down were the work of “neofascist groups who are
angry about our victory and are trying to slander us.”
The
Monday crash killed opposition Gov. Martha Erika Alonso of the central
state of Puebla and her husband, ex-Gov. Rafael Moreno Valle. Two pilots
and a third passenger also died.
