Gerardo Fernández Noroña, president of the Senate, is once again at the center of controversy. After being questioned about his trip to Europe at the expense of the treasury, he has now caused a stir by trivializing the upcoming judicial election during a press conference.
In a context marked by growing concern over candidates linked to organized crime and low citizen participation, the Morena legislator opted for a puzzling statement. When asked about his expectations for the June election, Noroña made a sexual analogy to justify the improvisation of the process.
Offensive and irresponsible comparison
Instead of seriously addressing the criticisms, the senator referred to the judicial process as “making love for the first time.” According to him, it's normal not to know how to do it well at first, but over time it gets better. This analogy, far from being funny, shows disdain for the institutional and technical nature that the appointment of judges should have.
“We are going to make love electorally on June 1, and each time we will do it better,” he stated without the slightest restraint.
