At the DF's historic Chapultepec Castle, President Felipe Calderon met for over 3 hours with leader of the popular "Caravan of Comfort," poet Javier Sicilia and others who have lost loved ones in Calderon's long war against narcos.
Calderon personally witnessed the tears of a mother missing 4 sons and many others.
But pointing his finger and pounding the table, he said it would have been wrong not to act.
"I agree that we must apologize for not protecting the lives of victims, but not for having acted against the criminals," Calderon said. "One thing I regret is not having sent (the military) before."
As for Sicilia's loss of his son, Calderon said "Francisco was killed by criminals, not federal forces."
Calderon agreed to meet with Sicilia again in 3 months...and create a tracking commission for victims.
