Deputy María Eugenia Margarito Vázquez, along with her colleague Eric Silva, has announced that they will proceed with a political trial and has called on citizens to present the request next Monday at 9 a.m. in the local Congress. This announcement has generated a strong debate in Querétaro regarding the use of public force and the protection of human rights, especially in the context of order and security policies implemented by the current municipal administration.
"From this space, I ask the deputies to initiate a political trial against the mayor for his incompetence and intolerance towards citizens and, especially, towards historically mistreated sectors," expressed Deputy Vázquez. In response to this, both she and Eric Silva have committed to file the resource for the political trial and have called on citizens for this Monday at the local Congress.
On the other hand, federal deputy Gilberto Herrera has underscored the importance of dialogue and has highlighted that indigenous peoples beautify the historic center of the city, rather than representing a problem. The president of the State Executive Committee of Morena, Rufina Beníte, has indicated that the "order" policy promoted by the mayor of Querétaro should not lead to violations of human rights.
During a press conference, Beníte emphasized the stance of Morena that rejects and disapproves of the use of public force against citizens, especially against vulnerable groups. She also mentioned previous incidents in other areas such as Maconí, Escolásticas, and the 5 de Febrero area, emphasizing that they condemn acts against civil society and indigenous peoples.
At the same event, Morena councilor Fernando Flores Pérez made a call to the state Congress to initiate a political trial against the city mayor, whom he has categorized as "classist and racist." "What happened does not represent and should not represent Querétaro," he added.
