In the Senate, the majority of Morena He reduced his performance “to a simple exercise of obedience” to the Executive Branch, lament the senator without a parliamentary group Claudia Ruiz Massieu.
In her speech regarding the closing of the work of the 64A and 65A legislatures of the Upper House, the legislator pointed out that There was practically no space to build understandings; However, when there was good faith on the part of the opposition, as in the approval of the National Guard law, “the ruling party betrayed its word and the law.”
The former Secretary of Foreign Affairs highlighted the performance of the “containment block”, made up of PAN, PRI, PRD, MC and the Plural Group, which filed 35 lawsuits to invalidate unconstitutional lawssince it made it possible to agree on relevant changes and prevent fundamental rights from being violated.
In that sense, he indicated that the limits of his majority were discovered very soon: the constitutional reform. And, before the lack of true political will to build with pluralitythe action of unconstitutionality.
“Yes to parity in everything, yes to the expansion of social rights, yes to the recognition of Afro-Mexican communities. No to the anachronistic public monopoly in the generation of electrical energy. No to the destruction of electoral institutions to turn them into an appendage of the government majority,” he stressed.
Ruiz Massieu He regretted that the majority of Morena had rejected the representation of the oppositionsbecause, he considered, if their legitimacy and their right to have a point of view that must be heard and taken into account to build democracy are denied, and if exclusion and imposition occur, Far from doing politics, one does anti-politics.
“Perhaps the Senate achieved parity in seats; but, at the same time, he abandoned the will to respect plurality in ideas. Coexistence was a temporary simulation; Exclusion was a permanent reality,” he rebuked.
Ruiz Massieu recognized the reforms in favor of workers’ rights and equality substantive, as well as strengthening sanctions for violence against women; However, he regretted the almost total abandonment of the Senate’s function of controlling public management and appointments, which left “very negative balances.”
