(Reuters) - Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto on Sunday condemned violent
protests over the apparent massacre of 43 students after demonstrators set
fire to the door of his ceremonial palace in Mexico City on Saturday night.
Tens of thousands of Mexicans have taken to the streets to protest the
government's handling of the case of the missing students, and last night
protesters in central Mexico City set fire to the door of the National Palace.
"It's unacceptable that someone should try to use this tragedy to justify
violence," Pena Nieto told reporters at the airport in Anchorage, Alaska
where he was en route to China. "You can't demand justice while acting with
violence."
The students were abducted by corrupt police in southwestern Mexico in
September. Though the government said on Friday it looked as though the
students had been killed, then incinerated by gangsters working with the
police, it stopped short of confirming their deaths for lack of definitive
evidence.

Pena Nieto's trip to China has infuriated protesters and relatives of the
students, who believe he cares more about Mexico's business interests than
trying to deal with the gang violence that has ravaged much of the country
for years.
The trip to China has faced problems since before it began.
On Thursday night, Mexico abruptly canceled a $3.75 billion contract to build
a high-speed train line that it had awarded to a Chinese-led consortium after
opposition lawmakers accused the government of rigging the process.
The group led by the China Railway Construction Corp were the sole bidders
for the project and lawmakers said the government had acted to help the
consortium and its Mexican partners, some of which have close ties to the
president and the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI.
The government denied the accusations.
Grupo Higa was one of the Mexican partners in the rail consortium and on
Sunday a local news site noted that a subsidiary of the company, Ingenieria
Inmobiliaria del Centro, had built a $7 million seven-bedroom house for Pena
Nieto and his family just before he became president.
The house, which features marble floors and underground parking, has never
been disclosed in financial records that Pena Nieto has made public and it is
in fact still owned by the Grupo Higa subsidiary, the report from Aristegui
Noticias said.

However, the president's office said in a statement on Sunday that the house
was acquired in 2012 from Ingenieria Inmobiliaria del Centro by Pena Nieto's
wife, actress Angelica Rivera, and that she spoke openly about the property
last year.
Separately, China on Sunday said it believed China Railway Construction Corp
had followed Mexico's bidding rules and requirements and it hopes Chinese
companies will continue to participate in Mexican infrastructure projects.
Another protest took place on Sunday, which included people who had walked
more than 100 miles to Mexico City from Iguala, Guerrero, where the missing
students were abducted. The protest congregated peacefully in the central
Zocalo square.

簡短重點摘譯
上週五墨國政府證實九月43名示威學生集體被綁架殺害後，
示威民眾開始在墨國首都雲集。
更糟的的是，這周末墨國總統急著飛往中國處理經濟議題，這讓示威民眾更火大。
原來事情並不單純，上周墨國取消一宗中國高鐵建設當地高鐵案。
反對派議員指出，中國高鐵建設集團在政府協助下成為唯一投標商。
與中國高鐵集團合作的墨國公司，被踢爆在現任總統上任前，
送了帶七個房間值七百萬美元的豪宅一棟，而這從未出現在財產清單中。
示威民眾非常火大總統不好好處理學生集體被虐殺案，還跑去中國要處理經濟問題，
(中國希望高鐵仍能敗部復活)，於是抗議者在無預警下就一把火燒了總統府大門。
