“Like the Nazis”: Felipe Calderón criticized Morena for “bulletining” opposition deputies

After the Electricity Reform promoted by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) was scrapped, the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) announced that it will take letters in the matter against the opposition deputies, whom they called “traitors”, who overthrew this initiative.

Mario Delgado Carrillo and Citlalli Hernández, national leader and secretary general of the cherry party, asked these officials to “bulletin” to “let the people know what the legislators' vendors' did so that on June 5 people will also consider that when voting,” said Delgado Carrillo.

For their part, Hernández said that they decided as a party “to continue this campaign in defense of national sovereignty, to report what the opposition parties voted against, to report with face, surname, face and party in each district that the deputies who had to have represented that sector of the population they betrayed the homeland”.

These statements were questioned by various characters who have spoken out against the Fourth Transformation (Q4), such as the journalist Hector de Mauleón, who on different occasions has ranted against this political movement.

Now, the columnist for the newspaper El Universal said that this list “says everything about them”, because they are politicians who call themselves democrats, although their actions say something completely different from those ideals.

“The 'Democrats' making lists of traitors to the Homeland. It simply says everything about them. In those hands we put ourselves. For the time being. Just for now”, wrote the writer and television host.

This tweet was retrieved by former President Felipe Calderón Hinojosa (2006-2012), who compared the Morenoists to the Nazis, for their way of branding people to generate a hate campaign against them.

After Morena's defeat, with 275 votes in favor, 222 against and zero abstentions, reprisals began against those legislators belonging to the ruling bloc who voted against the López Obrador Electric Reform.

For example, it was announced that the Green Ecologist Party of Mexico (PVEM) expelled Rocío Alexis Gamiño García after proclaiming itself against the initiative. For this reason, during Monday's session, the national leadership of the green party informed the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Deputies that the legislator no longer belongs to its bench.

Against this, Gamiño García defended himself on social networks and assured that, for ideological reasons, he voted against the presidential initiative. The secretary of the San Lázaro Climate Change and Sustainability Commission noted that “at first I naively thought that with my environmental issues the party I most coincided with was the 'Green Ecologicista' party.”

In the thread he opened on this digital platform, he “reiterated” his loyalty to Mexico and stressed that it is not to a party or to a person, but to the nation: “I assure you that from any trench I will continue to fight for a Mexico with courage and congruence”

“Today I can sleep peacefully!!! It is a relief to know that: I never have to vote by mandate again and yes for my ideals. Never again do I have to vote for a whim and yes for a better Mexico,” explained the legislator.

Despite all this, the president sent to the Chamber of Deputies his draft reform of the Mining Law, with which he seeks to nationalize lithium. This initiative was approved this Monday. The minutes were sent to the Senate of the Republic to ratify that lithium will remain in the exclusive hands of the nation.
