Raising funds for Evo Morales
A week ago, lawmaker Gerardo Fernández Noroña sent a letter to some fellow politicians , to ask them to donate MXN $500 to create a fund for Evo Morales , the former Bolivian President , who has been exiled in Mexico since November 13. We've been told that Noroña was looking to get MXN $159,500 per month to financially support Evo Morales since Morena and its allies have 319 lawmakers in the lower chamber. The letter was sent out on December 3 and was sent to lawmakers from Morena, PT , and PES ; the letter also requests MXN $500 per month for the former Bolivian President. Will the request change now that Evo Morales left Mexico for Cuba ?
Olga Sánchez goes to Argentina
In contrast with Evo Morales , President Andrés Manuel López Obrador doesn't like international flights. This is why Interior Minister Olga Sánchez Cordero is going to represent him in Argentina . The minister will be present in Alberto Fernández 's presidential inauguration, although Fernández's first trip a s President-elect of Argentina was to Mexico . Will this go unnoticed?
A complicated amnesty law
Nobody knows what's going to happen to the draft of the Amnesty Law , which would implement pardons for abortion , theft , and cultivating certain plants used to produce drugs . We've been told that after a failed attempt to pass the bill on Thursday, they will attempt it again this week. We've been told the opposition thinks this draft is quite dangerous because by creating a special commission , which would define the amnesties , it could end up telling the Attorney General's Office to halt the judicial processes against some inmates . According to some, this is unconstitutional . They also wonder how will this new law will be perceived by the armed forces , who detain and arrest criminals who could be freed thanks to this new law.
