Former Mexican president Luis Echeverria died at the age of 100, current President Andrés Manuel López Obrador confirmed Saturday, APA reports citing Associated Press.
In his Twitter account, López Obrador sent condolences to Echeverria’s family and friends “in the name of the government of Mexico,” but did not express any personal sadness about the death. López Obrador did not provide a cause of death for Echeverria, who governed Mexico from 1970 to 1976.
Echeverria had been hospitalized for pulmonary problems in 2018.
In 2005, a judge exonerated Echeverria on genocide charges stemming from a 1971 student massacre depicted in the Oscar-winning movie “Roma.”
