We are attending to Uruapan and to Michoacán. If it is political violence against women, the competent authorities will have to review it. I leave it to the authorities to evaluate if that is political violence against women,” commented the head of government at this Tuesday's morning press conference.
On March 25, the mayor of Uruapan attended the Senate during a plenary session. Upon noticing her presence, Morena lawmakers organized to launch slogans in favor of Raúl Morón, pointed out as a possible candidate for the governorship of Michoacán. The support for the senator comes amid Grecia Quiroz's request for the Michoacán State Attorney General's Office to investigate possible political motives in the murder of her husband, Carlos Manzo.
In the end, this is just political maneuvering,” she said.
When asked if she considered the action to be sexist, she responded that “maybe yes,” but emphasized that “it's the way they know how to do politics.” She reiterated that her request to the authorities is to investigate a possible political motive in the murder of Carlos Manzo, but clarified that she is not pointing to anyone as a direct culprit.
“I would not dare to accuse them, not assertively, it's a line I have asked the attorney general's office to take,” she added.
President Claudia Sheinbaum avoided condemning or qualifying the reaction of Morena senators when Grecia Quiroz, mayor of Uruapan, Michoacán, visited the premises. She stated that there is solidarity with Quiroz and support for her administration from the federal government.
Among those mentioned are Raúl Morón, Leonel Godoy, and Ignacio Campos. Among the senators who participated were Gerardo Fernández Noroña, Manuel Huerta, Juan Carlos Loera, Armando Ayala, Margarita Valdez, Guadalupe Chavira, Lucía Trasviña, and Karina Ruiz.
What did Grecia Quiroz say about the attitude of Morenistas during her visit to the Senate?
Upon leaving the Senate plenary, after the shouts of support for Raúl Morón, she described the lawmakers' attitude as “political maneuvering.”
“They shouldn't do it because when your conscience is clear, you don't need anyone else to cheer for you, for anyone else to back you up. She pointed out that it will be the authorities who determine if any offense or political violence against women was committed.
“A Grecia Quiroz should be given special solidarity because she lost her husband in a very serious situation. We know who Carlos bothered,” she concluded.
