The PAN parliamentary group yesterday accompanied Senator Gina Geraldina Campuzano in the presentation of a complaint to the National Electoral Institute (INE) against Gerardo Fernández Noroña, president of the Senate, for having suffered alleged gender-based political violence on his part. Given this, in the plenary session, members of Morena gave their support to their benchmate.

The coordinator of the blue and white In the Upper House, Guadalupe Murguía, pointed out that the events occurred on September 12, when Fernández Noroña published a video in which Campuzano’s blouse was seen opening during a session held in the Xiconténcatl mansion.

The PAN member estimated that in the recording, Fernández Noroña made sexist comments and mocked Gina Geraldina for the incident. The video has been published on various social networks and has generated multiple sexist, sexist and offensive comments from usershe added.

The expressions of the Morenista constitute a typical case of political violence based on gender, Murguía stressed, explaining that the complaint requested the immediate suspension of the transmission, that it be prohibited to issue new statements about the event and to follow up on the expressions that register about it on social platforms.

Gina Campuzano assumed that the path to reporting will be long. What some men, not all, but some males do not understand, is that it is not funny. Violence against women is not funny. It’s not funny when a boss harasses you. It’s not funny if a male yells at you or hits you. It is not funny that the president of the Senate re-victimizes a senator who opened her blouse in public. It is not funny that the president of the Senate commits political gender violencehe pointed out.

For their part, Morenistas expressed their solidarity with the president of the Senate, including Laura Itzel Castillo, who said that the aforementioned has always been a respectful colleague, and in no way can I admit that I am a person who violates due to gender issues.
