President Felipe Calderón met face-to-face with victims of drug-related crimes Thursday, telling the sometimes weeping survivors that he regrets the loss of lives but won’t apologize for deploying thousands of federal forces to drug hot spots, a four-year effort many blame for dramatically increasing Mexico’s violence.

Calderón and his top security aides met with poet Javier Sicilia and other relatives of people who have died or disappeared since he launched a crackdown against organized crime shortly after taking office in December 2006.

The unusual meeting at Mexico City’s Chapultepec Castle was emotionally charged. A mother broke down in tears as she demanded results in the investigation of the disappearance of her four sons. A relative of two people killed by drug traffickers fought to maintain composure as he asked for an update in their case.

Sicilia, whose innocent son was slain by traffickers, told Calderón that he is “obligated to apologize to the nation and in particular to the victims.”

But Calderón said he wouldn’t apologize “for having acted against the criminals that are acting against the victims.”

“In that sense, Javier, you are wrong,” Calderón said sternly.

Sicilia and his peace movement are demanding the president take the military off the streets and focus on cleaning up police forces and strengthening institutions.

 Sicilia organized marches in his hometown of Cuernavaca, then to Mexico City and to Ciudad Juarez. The movement announced it will send a new protest caravan to Mexico’s border with Guatemala.

Calderón said he regrets not deploying troops and federal agents sooner and pointed out Sicilia’s son was killed by criminals, not federal forces.

Several people have been arrested in the March 28 slaying of Sicilia’s son, Juan Francisco Sicilia, a college student who authorities say was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

By the end of the dialog, Calderón said he would consider reviewing his strategy but as long as there is no clear alternative to the crackdown, he would continue “fighting criminals.”

Calderón agreed to meet with the peace activists in three months.

Calderón and his aides also had an emotional meeting last year with relatives of youths killed when gunmen burst into a party in Ciudad Juarez and opened fire with automatic weapons.
