Morena senator Gerardo Fernández Noroña commented on the scenes of people murdered at military checkpoints during Felipe Calderón's presidency, stating that he considered them mere "collateral damage." Noroña expressed satisfaction at seeing Ricardo Anaya, for the first time, on the victims' side, although he labeled him a hypocrite, mentioning that he has never cared about the victims in the country. Furthermore, Noroña affirmed that he would never politically use the pain of those with missing relatives.
Last week, Gerardo Fernández Noroña sparked another controversy with the national leader of the PRI, Alejandro 'Alito' Moreno, whom he accused of eventually ending up in prison and leading the PRI to its disappearance. This situation led to an exchange of insults, with Moreno calling Noroña "a big fool." In turn, Noroña responded through the media, suggesting that criticism should be directed at the previous PAN administration and Calderón's 'war on drugs.'
In another confrontation, 'Alito' Moreno also clashed with Jorge Álvarez Máynez, national leader of Movimiento Ciudadano, whom he labeled as "miserable." This conflict arose from Álvarez Máynez's criticisms of Moreno's party in Jalisco due to the presence of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. The disputes have revolved around the discovery of human remains and clothing that could correspond to missing persons on a ranch in Teuchitlán, Jalisco, triggering a series of controversies among different political actors.
Ricardo Anaya's comments about Noroña, whom he referred to as "a carrion eater," triggered a response from the senator, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the magnitude of the problem and respecting the victims. Anaya urged not to minimize the current situation and to promote national unity to address the issue, rather than resorting to insults against opponents. Tensions and conflicts continue to shape the political landscape in Mexico amidst these public and heated exchanges.
