Dr. López Leyva, referred the moment in which the business man Alejandro Martí, during the Summit of National Security gave a speech that touched the country in 2008, amidst "war" against the narco imposed by the then President Felipe Calderón and only brought thousands of murders and kidnappings throughout the country, among them, with fatal consequences, Martí's son.

The speaker remembered that in that same term, but in 2011 and due to the murder of his son, the poet Javier Sicilia launched an open letter "to politicians and criminals" where he sentences that "we are fed up of you, politicians", because in your fight for power, you teared the nation, in your misplaced "war", badly done and misdirected that only brought pain.
