The most recent setback occurred after this Wednesday, October 6, the daughter of activist Rosario Ibarra de la Garza was accused of the bishop emeritus of Saltillo, Coahuila, Raúl Vera López, for having presented a false letter with his name and signature before the united commissions of Human Rights and Justice of the Senate of the Republic of the LXVI legislature.
Although Piedra Ibarra regretted this fact and explained that it occurred without malice or bad faith, opposition politicians such as the national leader of the PRI, Alejandro Moreno, and the senator of that same party, Claudia Anaya, requested that Piedra Ibarra be removed from the final shortlist. of candidates for the presidency of the CNDH, in addition to demanding that a judicial investigation be carried out to punish whoever is responsible for having committed this act.
Added to this controversy is that the vote to elect the next head of the CNDH, which would take place this November 8, was postponed due to tensions between senators who are dissatisfied with the final shortlist already approved, so Despite being scheduled for this week, the election was postponed to next Tuesday.
It was during the third extraordinary meeting of the United Commissions on Human Rights and Justice on November 6 that some opposition legislators, such as Ricardo Anaya and Lilly Téllez, attacked Javier Corral, president of the Senate Justice Commission, for having included to Piedra Ibarra in the final shortlist.
Anaya described Piedra Ibarra’s application as an “excess and excessiveness” because she was one of the worst evaluated candidates, in addition to accusing her of having taken the side of power and not the side of the victims during her tenure as head of the CNDH.
He also criticized that in the Piedra Ibarra administration there were a total of “3,500 complaints against elements of the Sedena and the National Guard and in 99% of the cases they chose to agree with power.”
Montesquieu said that “he who has power tends to abuse it.” Morena is abusing power. Including Rosario Piedra in the CNDH shortlist is a monument to excess and excess. An abuse of power without limits. pic.twitter.com/XRRF6yprll
