In a session that included the stridency of a group of mariachis, made up exclusively of women, or the danzón music that resounded at another event, Morena senators confronted opposition legislators who accused President Andrés Manuel López Obrador of exercise gender violence
against the head of the Supreme Court, Norma Piña.
The plenary session discussed a package of reforms to curb violence against women and in the rostrum the PAN member Xóchitl Gálvez expressed recognition to the indigenous artisans who embroider huipiles when PRI senator Beatriz Paredes asked to ask a question, but what she did was fully read a display in which a group of featured
women, he said, demand end gender-based violence against the president of the Supreme Court
.
Paredes read quickly: Barely two months after taking office, improbable accusations have been made against her, which leads us to conclude that she is being tried for being a woman and for being independent.
.
Immediately, Senator Gálvez and also the whiteblue Josefina Vázquez Mota, who stressed that no woman should be subjected to daily judgment and disqualifications, opprobriums and attacks, which are unacceptable
.
reciprocal treatment
Senator Malú Mícher from Morena, president of the Commission for Gender Equality, rejected such accusations and reminded them of Minister Piña’s rudeness to the federal Executive by not getting up during the commemorative act of the Constitution, on February 5 in Querétaro. In addition, she told them that they should be more concerned about the fact that judges and magistrates are not judging with a gender perspective.
We are the latest files and no one has raised their voices to claim that from the Judiciary.
The PAN member Kenya López Rabadán, with the stridency that characterizes her, shouted that President López Obrador incites violence against Minister Piña and he will be responsible if something happens to her or to any other person in the Judiciary
.
The answer came from the morenista Imelda Castro, who called the PRI members and PAN members liars. It is not the first time, she said, that President López Obrador questions the decisions of the judges, of a Judiciary that must also respect the Executive.
The opponents wanted to continue that debate, but the acting president of the board of directors, Ana Lilia Rivera, reminded them that they were in the debate of an opinion.
Outside the venue, Las Perlitas Tapatías continued to play, a group that celebrates 34 years as a mariachi made up only of women, with their distinctive light blue charro suits, invited by Senator Verónica Delgadillo of the Citizen Movement.
One floor above, an award was given to the Danzonera Isora Club, the first and only orchestra of its kind in Mexico made up exclusively of women. And many began to dance.
