Legislative tension due to judicial reforms
The session of the Permanent Commission of the Congress of the Union escalated this Wednesday. Legislators from Morena and the opposition exchanged direct accusations during the declaration of the constitutionality of the judicial reforms and the annulment of elections due to foreign interference.
Morenoist deputy Beatriz Navarro Pérez launched harsh criticism against PAN and PRI. He accused them of acting in favor of foreign interests and against national sovereignty. His words provoked immediate reactions from the aforementioned parties.
Senator Gerardo Fernández Noroña also questioned PAN leaders. He pointed out the meeting in Chihuahua in support of Governor María Eugenia Campos. He stated that the opposition seeks to favor external interests and defended the position of the federal government.
Noroña’s statements generated protests in the plenary session. The atmosphere became harsh when he interrupted PRI member Carolina Viggiano for previous statements about accusations by US authorities against Sinaloa politicians.
In response, Viggiano accused Fernández Noroña of using the platform to disqualify the opposition and repeat the same arguments. The exchange reflected the growing polarization in the Legislature, amid debates about the reforms promoted by the majority.
The climate of confrontation shows the tensions in Congress. Judicial reforms have become a central point of contention between the ruling party and the opposition.
