15 days after the arrest in Veracruz of José Manuel del Río Virgen, technical secretary of the Political Coordination Board (JCP) of the Senate of the Republic, accused of qualified homicide, the dispute between the upper house and the government of that state, led by Cuitláhuac García, does not stop.
“We condemn these statements that he makes, where he simply talks about what makes him laugh, as if it were a laughing matter. What we are in is a matter of urgency, people’s rights are being trampled on and this cannot continue to happen. How unfortunate that the state government (of Veracruz) acted as it is acting ”, stated Senator Julen Rementería (PAN) in relation to what was said by the Veracruz president, who scoffed at the JCP’s decision to create a special senatorial commission to determine the existence of probable abuses of authority and violations of the rule of law in Veracruz.
The investigative commission of the Senate does not exist, said Cuitláhuac García a few days ago, laughing.
And the fact is that, in effect, the creation of the aforementioned working group requires the approval of the plenary chamber and currently the upper house is in recess, so the issue may be submitted for discussion until the next period of ordinary sessions, which It will start on February 1.
“Legal emergency”
Rementería, coordinator of the PAN parliamentary group and secretary of the investigative commission that was created the day after Del Río Virgen’s arrest, on December 23, by decision of the eight parliamentary groups represented in the Senate, is already working and appears in the list of special commissions on the official website of the Upper House, he affirmed that what is lived in that state is “a legal emergency.”
“There are abuses, violation of the human rights of the people who are being detained. In many cases, because we cannot talk about the whole, but in many cases in an unjustified way, “he said.
Last Tuesday, during the second meeting of the special commission for the Veracruz case, its president Dante Delgado, coordinator of the parliamentary group of Movimiento Ciudadano, a party in which Del Río Virgen is a member, reported that more than a dozen of “relevant” cases of detentions that involve officials of autonomous bodies, the Judiciary, and municipal presidents and former presidents.
“Magistrates of the Superior Court of Justice of that state have approached us to point out relevant facts, some comrades of the Commission have received truly worrying reports, so we want to clearly open a registry (of cases), because the Commission It is the only thing it is going to do: have records, evidence so that, where appropriate, complementary measures are taken, which do not correspond to us, but to the Senate itself ”, he explained.
