Mexico City.- Faced with the plagiarism of the thesis attributed to Minister Yasmín Esquivel, Senator Germán Martínez asked the UNAM to give effect to decency and not give credit to the crime.

“I call on the UNAM to be encouraged to take the step of honor and not give credit to the crime. I call on the UNAM to make the spirit of decency speak for my race. I am sure that intelligence will win over ignorance “That honor will win over cheating. That the spirit of José Vasconcelos will win with civic courage, over the shamelessness of Yasmín Esquivel.”
PRD supports Graue
