translated from Spanish: AMLO is ready to appear on the decision of the operation in Culiacan

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador reiterated that the decision made by the security cabinet in last Thursday’s operation in Culiacán, Sinaloa, was the best to not risk the lives of more people.
“We will never opt for war, for confrontation, for the use of force, what matters to us is the lives of people (…) I have a clear conscience and I know that we act correctly, and we will continue to attack the causes that generate violence,” he said at his morning conference on Monday.

He also criticized those who demanded the use of force and condemned Ovidio Guzmán López not to have been arrested. “Conservatives shouted that they wanted violence, that it was necessary to show the pants because, but we decided not to risk people’s lives (…) the policy of confrontation and violence only produced more violence and much suffering.” 
The president also said he was sure that most Mexicans approve of the decision that was made and that over time also the people of Culiacán and all Sinaloa will judge whether it was done right or done wrong. 
On the complaint filed by the PAN with the FGR against his person and the head of the Secretariat of Security, Alfonso Durazo, López Obrador was told to appear before the authorities, if requested, to express his reasons for what happened in the operational failed.

The president assured that if there is an arrest warrant against Ovidio Guzmán, the extradition order will be addressed, “as long as people’s lives are not put at risk.” 
He reiterated that his government would continue this strategy of not using violence and that it would focus on ensuring that the entire population has the essentials to live, that there is work and good income, focusing on youth, so that criminal groups have little gradually become insulated and it is no longer a prestige to belong to them. 
At the end of the president, he said that today there is already normality in the city of Culiacan and pledged to vent all doubts on the subject at his conference on Tuesday.
