Outraged in 2018 but silent in 2020

Outraged in 2018 but silent in 2020

In October 2018 , several Morena members who are now government officials or lawmakers were outraged because the Peña Nieto administration blocked migrants from entering the country through the southern border. But now that Porfirio Muñoz Ledo has criticized the National Guard , those who were outraged in 2018 stayed silent. Let’s not forget something Manuel Bartlett said about the PRI in 1999: “We have to react because we’re not going to kill ourselves by walking towards a cliff like a sheep, following the discipline of the party (…). Discipline is the soul of the party but if there is no party, discipline is our poison.”

The event will be attended by 18 state counselors, half of the members of the National Committee, and some national counselors. It seems like, with this, the meeting would be deemed as valid. Of course, not everything will be peaceful as quarrels are expected.

Mexico’s Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero was in hot water for a week, after he failed to present a proposal to reform the justice system but that was shared through social media, which alarmed the opposition in the Senate because it includes a counter-reformation. However, in the Senate, no one has revealed how López Obrador’s administration feels in regard to this attempt to dismantle the presumption of innocence . This way, Mexico could take a step back and move forward with the dismantling of the laws that fought against the fabrication of guilty parties .

Instead of censoring the press he should explain why are there 122 harassment and sexual violence cases reported by the students .
