Gerardo Fernández Noroña posed again as an international defender, this time before the European Parliament
Compartir:
The senator preferred to attack the United States rather than face the national tragedy
During his participation in Strasbourg, France, the president of the Senate, Gerardo Fernández Noroña criticized the United States for its immigration policy and its alleged inaction against drug trafficking.
He called it "hypocritical" for pursuing migrants but not dismantling the cartels in its territory.
Protestas y movilizaciones
He said nothing about the growing violence and social decay that his own government has allowed in Mexico. Meanwhile, as he delivered his speech at the European Parliament, in his country, mass graves continued to appear, murders were reported, and entire communities were displaced.
But the senator did not mention a single case of the more than 100,000 disappeared, nor the executions that occurred in Guanajuato or Jalisco.
His priority was to maintain the official narrative and divert international attention.
Noroña
Noroña did not speak of the more than 100,000 disappeared nor the military failure in security
Instead of addressing the humanitarian crisis facing the country, Noroña defended militarization and praised democracy under Claudia Sheinbaum.
He did not mention the searching mothers, nor the collectives that have found more graves than the Prosecutor's Office itself.
He also did not acknowledge the total failure of the hugs, not bullets strategy.
His intervention was a partisan defense, more focused on blaming the United States than on assuming the responsibility of the Mexican government. He accused others of allowing drug trafficking, while in Mexico, the cartels govern entire regions without real opposition. The State is absent, but Noroña applauds it.
He criticized tariffs but omitted the national economic chaos
He also complained about the tariffs announced by the Trump administration, calling them violations of the USMCA. But he omitted that Morena has damaged international trust, undermined the Judiciary, and caused the flight of investments.
The Mexican economy suffers from internal decisions, not foreign pressure.
He spoke of sovereignty and mutual respect, but never mentioned the institutional collapse nor the militarization of civil functions. He also did not acknowledge the popular discontent nor the real figures of violence. His stance was more ideological than realistic.
A spokesperson for power who ignores the victims
Noroña doesn't represent the victims or the citizens, he represents a regime that has failed.
He did not speak of justice, did not demand punishments, did not demand results. His silence in the face of narco crimes is his true political position.
He preferred to stay in good standing with his party rather than raise his voice for the murdered, disappeared, and displaced.
While insecurity continues to grow, he continues to make international tours with self-congratulatory speeches.
