Deputy Margarita García announced her resignation if there are 700 layoffs starting October 2, hinting at a possible connection of some workers with deputies from the PT or Morena. It was questioned whether these parties wanted to have 700 people working for them. The Labor Party denounced that the layoffs were due to Morena legislators replacing workers with their friends.
In response, Mauricio Farah Gebara, Secretary General of the Chamber of Deputies, denied the mass layoff of 700 workers, reiterating the importance of being truthful in these accusations. He conceded that layoffs have occurred, but countered the figure and justified the reasons behind these decisions. He mentioned that hiring personnel with experience is prioritized over other considerations.
Deputy García expressed her annoyance at the alleged prioritization of people with certain physical characteristics in the layoffs. She claimed that the Secretary General of the Chamber ordered the dismissal of employees considered trustworthy, even having a long career. There was a denunciation of the lack of respect for labor rights and the insecurity generated among employees who were close to their retirement.
Amid these accusations and denunciations, the need to respect the labor rights of workers and avoid nepotism in hiring and firing staff in the Chamber of Deputies is raised.
