Félix Salgado Macedonio has already seen what awaits him and is not calm
In view of what was seen on International Women’s Day there at the National Palace, we already know where Morena will walk. And we also know what will come with that. 4 stories you need to stay up-to-date and in context: Félix Salgado and muralla monopolize repudiation With a cry for justice and a feeling of outrage, when commemorating International Women’s Day, thousands of women marched yesterday in Mexico City to demand respect and a stop to gender violence. From the Monument to the Revolution and to the Zócalo of Mexico City, more than 20 thousand women walked and shouted all that unrest that is experienced today: femicides, sexual harassment, gender inequality and even the candidacy of the Morenoite Félix Macedonian Salgado. But the biggest outrage this Monday was the wall that appeared in front of the National Palace since the early hours of last Friday: a wall made with fences more than two meters high that fenced off the headquarters of the Executive Power. In the evening, more than 2,500 activists, journalists, artists and human rights defenders sent a letter to the President in which they warned that they are tired of being disqualified and that they protect the National Palace more than the Mexican women. In the afternoon, the collective Las Brujas del Mar called to repeat the national strike of women today as it happened a year ago. The protests left the Monument to the Revolution around 2:00 p.m., and in their wake they began to encounter all the historical sites that have been protected since last weekend. They calmly walked along Avenida Juárez, where small incidents were recorded. There were many groups of women, none of them took over the march. “A rapist will not be a governor,” was the loudest scream that was heard during the walk. Upon reaching the Plaza de la Constitución, the protesters did not find any temple. Simply a plate on which a huge blanket was placed with the legend: “See you at the polls.” (The full story here) López Obrador says they “fabricated” the case of a politician accused of rape Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador suggested this Tuesday that they have “fabricated” victims and crimes against Senator Félix Salgado Macedonio, his ally and current candidate for governor of Guerrero, who is accused of rape and sexual abuse. “They manufacture victims, they manufacture crimes, of course they do,” said the president in his daily press conference questioned by the claim of the march on March 8, International Women’s Day, in which thousands protested with the slogan “a rapist he will not be governor. “Salgado Macedonio is the candidate of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), the party founded by the president, to be governor of Guerrero in the elections on June 6, which will be the largest in the history of the country. But his candidacy – pending an internal party poll and already approved by the Guerrero State Electoral and Citizen Participation Institute – has been controversial since December because he is accused of raping a minor in 1998 and abusing a journalist in 2016, in addition to at least five additional sexual assaults, according to Morena’s own militants.Although there were already criminal complaints and the women’s claim, López Obrador has defended gone to his ally, who for decades is part of the movement of the leftist leader in Guerrero. “There are no (complaints). Well, in the event that there are criminal complaints, let the Judiciary resolve it, but if there is not (there is), the people want it and there are no crimes, just because it has already been taken as a flag, let’s go carried without arguments? No, ”he insisted. And he added: “In this case, which I am not going to deal with again, what was it I said from the beginning? Let the people of Guerrero decide, why shouldn’t the women and men of Guerrero decide? ” (The full story here) “We cannot allow political lynchings”: AMLO on Macedonio President Andrés Manuel López Obrador did not rule out that crimes and victims are fabricated in the case of Félix Salgado Macedonio, Morena’s candidate for the Guerrero government and accused of rape .

That they wanted me from here to disqualify as a chief, as a great elector, no, I am a democrat, it is to rule by obeying, whatever the people say, in a democracy it is the majority that decides, it is the people who command “, said the president. -There are complaints against Salgado. – “There is no, well in the event that there are criminal complaints that it is the Judicial Power that resolves, but if the people do not want it and there are no crimes, nothing more because it has already been taken as a flag and we are going to go carried away, no arguments, no “. -President, then are victims manufactured? – “Yes and crimes too, they manufacture victims, they manufacture crimes, of course, we are not seeing the Danger for Mexico campaign, I already told you when I was going to start this campaign, how Monsiváis was everywhere and had relations with the Fifis , heard that the campaign against it was coming.

The high point of the protest occurred in the Zócalo, where a group of women demolished part of the unprecedented metal fence that the Government placed to protect the National Palace, where the president lives and works. During the march, the police threw gas from fire extinguishers on the women who were trying to tear down the fence, which the government had seen days before as a “wall of peace.” “I am glad that the wall has helped because it was evident that they wanted to vandalize the National Palace. If the wall was not put up, many people would have been put at risk,” said the president on Tuesday.
