The conviction of Genaro García Luna in the United States provoked a confrontation in the plenary session of the Senate between Morena and part of the opposition, mainly the PAN, which legislators from the Guinda party accused of cynical and shamelessto try to avoid that the trial of the person who was Secretary of Public Security in the government of Felipe Calderón, exposes “the narco-governments” of the whiteblue.

The PAN senators tried to downplay the issue. In an interview, the coordinator of National Action, Julen Rementería, maintained that this verdict is only against one person, not against his party. That decision, he declared, does not leave touched, stained or scratched to BREAD. However, the issue escalated and reached the Senate floor, when an opinion on disappearances was being discussed, since opposition legislators insisted that the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador has not managed to stop the climate of violence.

The senator from Morena, Imelda Castro, told them what quiet who were around García Luna, despite the fact that the consequences of the drug government that sowed They are present in many states, including Sinaloa.

The PAN member Xóchitl Gálvez maintained that many of those who celebrate the conviction of García Luna forget that despite the fact that the Army was allowed to be in the streets, the insecurity problems are not resolved. Later, Emilio Álvarez Icaza, from Grupo Plural, warned that he was shameful exalt the justice that is done in another country, not in Mexico.

Given this, the Morenista César Cravioto commented that an opposition senator asked him if he was angry and from the rostrum he replied: I’m pissed off listening to them, because they are cynical, hypocritical. The PAN members who were members of the Fox and Calderón governments They should tell us what they know about those corruptions by García Luna or if they were accomplices.

In the same tone, he stressed: “There were governments complicit in organized crime, which turned the country over to drug trafficking and still come to say, why is there so much violence?

Another morenista, Félix Salgado Macedonio, closed the discussion with an occurrence that made his companions laugh out loud. He said that he received an information fresh and reliable that the march next Sunday It will be to ask for the freedom of García Luna.
