Fernández Noroña attacks the OAS: "It's a tool of US intervention."

MEXICO CITY (apro).- Following the report by observers from the Organization of American States (OAS) on the judicial election, in which they recommended that other countries not replicate the same exercise, the president of the Senate's Board of Directors, Gerardo Fernández Noroña, stated that the organization is an interventionist tool of the United States government and lamented that it is using right-wing arguments for its evaluation.

In a message on the Senate's social media, the Morena legislator rejected the opinions expressed in the report, which, he claimed, echo those of the right, failing to acknowledge that the media waged a brutal campaign against the judicial election.

"I didn't send them any word. You know I'm very clear. I told them we don't trust the OAS. It's an interventionist tool of the United States government. I hope this new presidency changes its attitude."

“And today, the OAS presented its report on the June 1st election, which hasn't even been counted, and it's already a lengthy document; only in the last paragraph have the media reported that it doesn't recommend promoting the election of judges on the continent.

"In other words, it's extremely regrettable that the OAS is coming out to echo the right's arguments, despite the fact that I clearly told them how in December the Chief Justice of the Court, with the full Court, attempted to amend the Constitution without having the authority to do so," he explained.

Fernández Noroña also challenged the OAS to determine what percentage of the U.S. electorate is participating in the election of local judges, asserting that it is lower than the percentage that participated in the election last Sunday, June 1, thus describing their attitude as factional, irresponsible, and frivolous.

“In Mexico, the election of judges is here to stay, and it doesn't even mention that a man of indigenous origin, born from the deep heart of the Oaxacan, Mixtec people, Hugo Aguilar, will be president of the Court. Let them tell us it was planned, let them tell us it wasn't a sovereign decision of the people of Mexico. In other words, never since Benito Juárez García was president of the Court in the 19th century, never could a man of such humble origins become president of the Court,” he emphasized.

The Morena senator affirmed that if those aren't signs of transformation—the parity between men and women for the first time in the history of the judiciary, its democratization—if they don't find that important, it's because they haven't observed anything.
