The president of the local legislative board, Claudia Murguía of the PAN, pointed out these issues as the most important of the legislature, in addition to other topics that leave her satisfied.
Despite the progress, Murguía mentioned pending issues such as the strengthening of public security and the creation of an alert network against human trafficking, matters that were left out of this legislature. She emphasized that "the controversy can be signed, but it must be an agreement of all parliamentary groups to defend the State".
Referring to mental health, addiction, and wage gap issues, Murguía stated: "This is the complement to the reform of the Penal Code that we made, but mental health, addictions, wage gap, cancer, all the issues we have pushed from the beginning of this legislature, I am satisfied because they were fulfilled".
Regarding legal reforms, Murguía highlighted the legalization of same-sex marriage, as well as reforms aimed at ensuring the autonomy of the Judiciary and the UdeG, achievements reached through historic consensus in Congress.
Before ending its functions on October 31, the Legislature will promote a constitutional controversy against the judicial reform, with the support of various parliamentary groups.
