In a solemn session for International Women’s Day, deputies from all parties spoke out against gender violence and demanded respect for the rights of the female sector. Morena claimed the hypocritical opposition that breaks its clothes on the rostrum
to criticize the current government, but they remained silent in the face of insensitive officials from previous six-year terms, who were unaware of the pain
.
Deputy Olimpia Girón reminded them that a group of criminals allowed a guy of the ilk of Genaro García Luna to be secretary of federal Public Security
. In turn, her partner Nohemí Salazar stressed that it was the government of Felipe Calderón that “opened the door to drug dealer, who agreed with crime, who made his wealth at the expense of the people. Felipe Calderón did know! ”, he stressed.
Meanwhile, PRI and PRD expressed their support for the president of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation: our sisterhood with Minister Norma Piña, who has suffered institutional violence for who should protect women. You are not alone
expressed the PRI member Adriana Campos Huirache.
Edna Díaz Acevedo (PRD) described as rudeness
that the session started late, because the official deputies responded to the call of the patriarchy in the National Palace
for the commemoration led by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
Julieta Kristal Vences (Morena) highlighted that the initiative 3 of 3
will be referred to the Constitutional Points Commission, and We hope that it will soon be discussed and approved in this plenary session so that no aggressor, offender or food debtor comes to power
. He asked the deputies to join. We don’t need allies of feminism, just true defectors from the patriarchy, and it starts with your vote for women’s rights
.
In front of banners, photos of victims and wearing a purple shirt, Lilia Aguilar (PT) highlighted the support of all parties for the matilde law, that he promotes to punish public servants who are omissive or refrain from investigating crimes against women, as happened in the case of his mother, Matilde, who in 2017 was a victim of kidnapping and femicide.
On the other hand, the leadership of Morena equated feminism and the Fourth Transformation, as two big moves
of the Mexico of the 21st century. We may have painful disagreements on current issues, but we are historical allies
, he pointed. Meanwhile, the PRI endorsed that it will promote laws on the matter.
