You are definitely not alone

By Frida Mendoza

Generally, although I follow political cases, legislative sessions and similar processes closely, I don't usually write about it because I am disgusted by politics, annoyed to see time and time again horrendous sessions with regrettable or controversial statements and because no matter how much time passes, they always disappoint. Again, there was no surprise.

Cuauhtémoc Blanco, the soccer idol of some, is no longer just the great goal scorer or the striker of years ago, since his retirement, politics has become his new profession and, well, politicians are being scrutinized. Only here, in Opinion 51, Yohali Reséndiz has extensively followed up on the allegations of corruption and gender violence that she herself has said: it is not something recent, it has been going on for years.

But we arrived at March 25, a significant date in the fight against violence against women: the Orange Day of the month of March, the month of the purple glasses. However, there were no surprises and with 291 votes in favor, 158 against and 12 abstentions, the plenary of the Chamber of Deputies dismissed the request for the desafuero of Cuauhtémoc Blanco, which would allow the deputy to be prosecuted in the event that the accusation against him. 

But it didn't happen... and even the note was given long before the voting started:

A tribune full of women, and where a deputy was going to present the last position the denounced appears while the cry of "You are not alone, you are not alone", is heard from her side.

And definitely, yes, he is not alone.

They accompanied him: 

94% of those reported for rape that went unpunished that went unpunished. 

97% of those denounced for family violence that went unpunished. 

88% of the femicides that went unpunished. 

Oh, and how can we forget the deputies who voted in your favor today?
