Decision on Cuauhtémoc Blanco's immunity hangs by a thread
'It's a strictly legal matter, not a political one,' stated the president of the Instructing Section
The request to remove the immunity of Deputy Cuauhtémoc Blanco could be dismissed by the full Chamber of Deputies, as suggested by the Instructing Section. However, the process wouldn't end there; the Morelos Prosecutor's Office has the option to request it again, warns Hugo Éric Flores, a Morena deputy and president of the Instructing Section.
Process in the Chamber of Deputies
If the full chamber decides that the request should return to the Instructing Section, a new analysis of the case would begin. Flores explains that if it is admitted and the procedure continues, all due legal process must be carried out, notifying the implicated legislator about the accusations against him.
Perspectives on the Case
Although there is a possibility that the case will be returned to the Section, Flores believes it could be quickly dismissed due to the lack of strong evidence. "From my point of view, with such a weak file, the process could be quite fast," he comments, indicating that the file lacks sufficient evidence to sustain a prolonged process.
Deputies from various parliamentary groups have formed a bloc to vote against dismissing the case, seeking to ensure a fair and complete scrutiny. Flores respects this initiative but defends the ruling for legal reasons, highlighting his empathy for the women's struggle while still supporting the dismissal from a legal perspective.
Possible Consequences and Complaints
Amid rumors that opposition deputies plan to file a complaint against him for his handling of the ruling, Flores remains firm. "They are within their rights," he states, assuring that he has acted within legal limits and is prepared for any repercussions.
Finally, Flores clarifies that the objective of the ruling is not to protect Cuauhtémoc Blanco, but to establish a robust legal precedent. "What we seek is that when something is presented against any official with immunity, it is done correctly, so that the process is legal and not political," he concludes.
This case continues to develop in an environment charged with expectations and political debate, with significant implications for the integrity and transparency of the legislative process in Mexico.
