Lilly Tellez went all out against Citlalli Hernández: “Scourge for Democracy”

Lilly Tellez, senator of the National Action Party (PAN), presented Citlalli Hernández, General Secretariat of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), for not attending a session in the Senate of the Republic.

Tellez took advantage of his absence to express his disagreement with the measures that Citlalli and his party have carried out against the legislators who voted against President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's (AMLO) Electricity Reform.

Through a post on her Twitter account Lilly said: “Just yesterday she returned to the Senate and the employee of Morena, manager of lithium concessions, whip against freedom of expression and scourge for democracy, has already missed the session today... @CitlaHM fled the debate.”

Her comment came after the two officials had a debate on Tuesday, April 19, in which the mood warmed up due to the comments that the panista made about her opposition partner. While speaking in the Senate, the politician accused Hernandez of starting a hate campaign against the deputies of the Va por México coalition, who did not support Andrés Manuel's initiative.

In his speech, he stressed: “I ask you, Senator Citlalli Hernandez, how are you going to be responsible for the aggressive effects against legislators that you have bulletin? how are you going to be held accountable and what actions will you take to stop the hate campaign that you have launched against all the legislators who have voted against the wishes of López Obrador, that campaign you have started”.

Likewise, the senator of the PAN bench complained about the campaign of persecution and argued that no one has the right to stigmatize colleagues who did their work, because they were simply performing their duties. “How is the hatred he has sown to be held accountable? how will it be held accountable for the consequences on the physical integrity of legislators? Answer and take responsibility,” Tellez said.

For her part, the Morenista leader reversed the discussion to point out that the only people who have spread hatred have been members of the opposition because she called them classist, racist and exposed her little commitment to society, because they voted against an energy reform that favored the country's interests.

“You are traitors to the country, that is not bulletining, that is not attacking the existence of anyone, that is to say what we believe and if you defend not being one, go out with people. We don't say it, we have held assemblies all over the country reporting on energy reform (...) you don't know what people think, go out and ask them what they think of having voted against this reform,” Citlalli Hernández replied.

The controversy broke out among lawmakers after this Monday Hernández and Mario Delgado, president of Morena, announced that they would start a nationwide campaign with the aim of letting citizens know who were the deputies who did not approve AMLO's initiative.

“We want people to see the faces, names, faces of traitors so that we never forget who turned their backs on the people, our children, grandchildren, who dishonored so many centuries of history as a nation,” Delgado shared.

There were many complaints about it, and even the president was blamed for the vandalism suffered by PAN federal deputies Jaime Ramírez Barba, Ana María Esquivel and Fernando Torres Graciano, as well as María Josefina Gamboa, who was the victim of theft while in Mexico City.
