Mexico City. The president of the Senate, Gerardo Fernández Noroña, has caused a new controversy after downplaying the discovery of an alleged extermination camp in Jalisco. His statements have sparked a wave of criticism on social media and among opposition figures.
The legislator from Morena rejected the reports pointing to the possible clandestine incineration of organized crime victims at the Izaguirre ranch, located in the municipality of Teuchitlán.
During a video broadcast, which quickly went viral, the Morena member questioned the veracity of the information. He claimed that the temperature required to burn bodies is one thousand degrees Celsius and questioned the possibility of it being carried out undetected.
"How do you burn bodies in the open air if one thousand degrees are required? How do you prevent satellites from detecting a process of that nature?"
Additionally, he downplayed the presence of hundreds of shoes and clothing found at the ranch, questioning their connection to missing persons. For Noroña, all this is part of an alleged media campaign by the right to discredit the government of Claudia Sheinbaum and justify a United States intervention in Mexico.
