Mexico City Deputies Condemn Opposition's Trip to the US

Deputies from PRI and PAN in Mexico City expressed concern about the situation in Mexico and links to organized crime in a joint video. They denounced Morena for their trip to the United States. This trip was criticized by the chilango establishment as one of the most conservative and reactionary political events in the region. The trip taken by the PAN-elected migrant deputy from CDMX, Raúl Torres, and the coordinator of the PRI's parliamentary group, Tania Larios, to the United States to participate in a new Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) generated strong rejection from the ruling party. "It is a shame that they go to legitimize those who terrorize migrants with raids, abuses, and expulsions," considered the vice-coordinator, Brenda Ruiz. For his part, the spokesperson for the ruling parliamentary group, Paulo García, questioned the two opposition figures for denouncing alleged ties between the government and organized crime, while at the same time appearing with the former governor of Tamaulipas, Francisco Javier García Cabeza de Vaca. As a result, this week Morena approved a point of agreement through which guidelines will be issued to prohibit "using the legislative mandate in events that promote hate speech, discrimination, or xenophobia." As reported by LPO, last week Torres and Larios traveled to Washington to participate in a new summit of the world's far-right led by American Trumpism. In addition, the PAN and PRI will be requested to provide "a report on activities and links with organizations that promote hate speech against the Latino and Mexican community." "He has two organized crime processes," added the deputy elected for Coyoacán, who stated that the PAN leader "is not a migrant, he is a fugitive." In response to this, Morena managed to pass a point of agreement, whereby the Jucopo must issue guidelines to prevent figures from the Palace of Donceles from "using the legislative mandate in events that promote hate speech, discrimination, or xenophobia." During their stay in the neighboring country's capital, they denounced the alleged ties between the Mexican establishment and organized crime. For example, former ICE Director Tom Homan, one of the toughest men in Donald Trump's government against Latin American migration, participated.
