It was all done in one divided vote of the Board of Directors of the CDMX Congress that he chose to save the head of government in a divided vote; which ended up being decided by the majority. The main reason is that, they say, they They could not impose a sanction because there are no specific laws that tell them how much or what the sanction is.
“This Congress of Mexico City does not have the support of a norm that specifically frames the sanction applicable to the conduct of the accredited infraction”they explained in their statement. “It is impossible to impose a sanction on them as it is not provided for in a regulation in advance”
Morena’s representative said their hands were tied. “There is no penalty and there is no crime, if there is no law”he pointed.
Representatives of other parties went punk about the measure. A PAN deputy said that it was “parliamentary clutter”, another from the PRD said that the sanctions had to be defined by them and others, flatly, withdrew from the process due to disagreements.
