López Obrador says opposition senators failed to prevent passing laws

Mexico City, May 1 (Prensa Latina) The President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, highlighted today in his morning press conference that opposition senators who took the rostrum of that chamber failed to prevent laws from being approved.

The president accused the conservative businessman Claudio González of being behind the desperate action of the right and receiving money from the United States government to unite everyone against him.

He accused these groups of wanting to turn the Supreme Court of Justice into “the great pimp” of the conservative bloc, as has happened with the National Science and Technology Commission.

He rejected that the Morena senators have used the same methods of the right-wing bloc to fast track 20 laws that the three opposing parties did not want to see go ahead.

He recalled that these resolutions had been approved by the deputies, and the only thing the senators had to do was ratify them by a simple majority, but the opposition wanted to prevent it by occupying the rostrum.

In response, the oficialistas left the premises, looked for an alternative headquarters, held legal sessions for being a majority, and approved the laws.
