At a conference with the media, the legislator expressed his regret that the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Gerardo Fernandez Noronia, issued a unilateral statement in the name of the Senate, without consulting or consensus with the rest of the political forces.
“When the United Nations Committee refers to the Mexican state, it includes all powers and institutions: the presidency, the conservatives, the mayor, the judicial branch, and the legislative forces, it is not a personal or exclusive accusation against a specific government,” he said.
Denial of the problem of enforced disappearance
He insisted that a problem cannot be solved that you do not want to accept it and stressed that the numbers of missing persons cannot be achieved without the authorities ’participation, collusion or lack of work.
“If there is no enforced disappearance, how are the scandalous numbers that we have today? Denying or reducing them irresponsibilityHe said.

The repercussions of the state forces

He referred to the voting scheduled in the plenary session to appoint 56 local judges, drawing from a list of more than a thousand applicants. He stressed that the citizen movement did not participate at any stage of the operation, and that other political forces were not consulted as well.
Accusations of bias and risks to legitimacy
“Neither dialogue, approach, or objective evaluation of personal files.
Castañeda compared this process to the practices of the “old system” of Pri, but he confirmed at least that there were some efforts to build consensus, which is not happening today.
“Even the old regime had moments of political construction. This is not the case. Today what exists is Deedazo, clear and direct: Maurina is a name for him Judgesaccuse.
Warning of electoral consequences
Al -Senator warned that this assumption presents the legitimacy of the upcoming electoral operations in the federal entities, and that it can be repeated in the election of the judges submitted on June 1.
