Mexico’s Citizens’ Movement (MC) parliamentary group will continue seeking sanctions against Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) lawmakers accused of attacking MC’s national leader and party deputies on October 20. The group’s coordinator, Ivonne Ortega Pacheco, said this.

Ortega said party offices must be safe spaces for lawmakers, staff and visitors, and that damage to MC offices should have consequences.

Asked about MC national leader Jorge Álvarez Máynez’s request not to sanction the PRI lawmakers, Ortega said his decision was personal and related to what happened to him. The parliamentary group will continue pursuing the matter concerning other deputies, including those she referred to as Poncho and Gildardo.

Ortega said she would go to the Chamber of Deputies’ Ethics Committee. She said the committee should take the national leader’s personal position into account, but the group could not accept such actions or the precedent they might set in the chamber.
