Mexican President Felipe Calderon’s political party said its leader didn’t call for the government to negotiate with drug traffickers to curtail violence.
The National Action Party said in a statement today that its chief, Cesar Nava, never gave an interview to the Ciudad Juarez newspaper El Diario after it published a story today citing an interview with Nava.
The article reported that Nava said he has suggested an accord with organized-crime groups in at least five meetings with government officials, and that such an agreement would help regain control of territory lost to criminals.
