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.
Criticism of a process without credibility
The election of judges promoted by Morena has been strongly questioned by jurists, academics, and international organizations. The objections range from the lack of experience of the candidates to their evident ties to the ruling party or even organized crime.
Instead of a technical debate on suitable profiles, the process has become a parody promoted from power. Noroña's disdain for judicial independence reflects the regime's true intention: to control all powers.
A country on the verge of losing its democracy
The senator's phrase sums up the frivolity with which the ruling party handles essential issues. Turning the judicial election into a sexual metaphor is not only disrespectful but also a warning about what's at stake.
Mexico today faces the risk of its judicial system becoming another arm of presidential power. All under the simplistic rhetoric of those who have no interest in strengthening democracy or respecting the separation of powers.
Recommendation: include at least two additional internal links to "Derecha Diario México" to reinforce the note and improve positioning.
