The coordinators in San Lázaro, Jorge Romero and Ignacio Mier, from PAN and Morenarespectively, presented their point of view on what happens in the Brooklyn Federal Courtwhere he is prosecuted Genaro Garcia Luna about his presumed guilt in the crime of drug trafficking, this because in the name of Felipe Calderon began to resonate among public opinion, since an alleged complicity with Joaquin El Chapo Guzman.

The relevance lies in the fact that García Luna was the head of the Ministry of Public Security (SSP) during the six-year term of Felipe Calderónpresident who declared war on drug trafficking, and throughout the hearings it has been mentioned that the Mexican government favored the Sinaloa Cartelheaded by El Chapo, so that you can continue to traffic in illegal substances. So it has been pointed out that Calderon knew about the bad practices of his Secretary of Security.

Meanwhile, in the Chamber of Deputies, the expressions that came to light this Wednesday, February 8, contrast with each other, and, although none of them indicates an alleged complicity, the coordinator of the National Action Party (BREAD) was more measured than that of National Regeneration Movement (Brunette).

First there is Mier Velazco, who called a press conference and at some point was questioned about what Felipe Calderón should do in the face of public accusations. In this regard, he replied that there is a trial that should be given the appropriate follow-up by the corresponding authorities; however, he stressed that there is a matter of public and political responsibility with the former president.

So, to address the public claim, Ignacio Mier urged Felipe Calderón to show his face and provide a broad response to Mexican society. In this regard, he mentioned that he does not have to wait for the trial to end, since has a moral responsibility to the citizenryIn addition, he did not mention any mechanism for appearing before the Congress of the Union, but simply made a public pronouncement.

“That’s why I pointed out that as they say in my town ‘you do it, but you’re good at it'”

Under this logic, he pointed out that he is not a judge to issue a sentence, but that Mexicans have the right to know the version of Felipe Calderónsince it was he who put García Luna in the position he held during the call “Calderon’s War”. Likewise, he recalled that the accusations require a broad response, since it would be difficult to find traces that specify what happened, since “organized crime does not act with official documents.”

“He was president of this country, regardless of whether it was derived from electoral fraud, he was president for six years. He called for a war against crime, it had costs “

He recalled that Calderón thinks about many things, “well, if he is thinking about everything, Why don’t you come to give your opinion on a subject that directly involves him?“, hill.

On his own, Romero Herrera took a measured stance and said that times must be respected of the rule of law of any country, in this case, the process against García Luna in the United States (USA), “opinions cannot be given one way or the other”. In this sense, he said that the opinions that matter at this moment are those of the Judge Brian Cogan and the jury in court.

This coincides with what was indicated by the federal deputy Daisy Zavalawife of Felipe Calderón, who avoided making pronouncements in relation to the case of Genaro García Luna on Tuesday the 7th, because during a brief statement to the media, she limited herself to saying that “whatever has to happen in that trial, let it happen.”

“Well, I think that the testimonial part, however you want, because I don’t see that they are approving it right now, we will wait. I don’t think about that topic until it’s over”, he declared before the media that cover the legislative source.
