A few days ago, Morena's internal process to elect the five women and four men who will seek the governorship in 2024 concluded. The bad thing is that the process was arbitrary, where the results of the polls were ignored, hiding behind the fulfillment of the parity criteria defined by the National Electoral Institute (INE). 

This revived a polarized debate around gender quotas, to the extent of calling them "gender charity".
