From San Lázaro, Morena launches the plan to guarantee the right to identity

Rebeca Valle, federal deputy for Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (Morena), signed the initiative to issue the General Law on the Operation of Civil Registries (LGORC), this by virtue of promoting true identity representation before the State.

In a statement, the legislator said this Thursday, April 14, that through the legal framework proposed in this Law “we seek to guarantee the right to identity of individuals and access to the services provided by the civil registry office”, as well as documents and records stating their legal identity.

He pointed out that the law establishes that in the registration of birth and death, the records of non-existence that are necessary to carry out such registrations, as well as the issuance of the first respective record, shall be free of charge, regardless of whether it is a timely registration or not.

Derived from the legal recognition of the identity of the individual, the principles of publicity, registration, specialty, consent, successive tract, request, priority or priority, legality, legitimation and public registry faith are promoted.

In order to realize these benefits, the legislation includes the harmonization of civil registries throughout Mexico, where they will have the incorporation of the administrative unit called the General Directorate of Civil Registry (DGRC).

The DGRC shall exercise the function of recording the Civil Registry Books of Civil Status acts that may be registered through the Offices of this unit. Likewise, if this Law is approved, the National Council of Civil Registry (CNRC) will be created as the inter-institutional coordination body for the harmonization and approval of the organization, operation and procedures of this nature.

The National System of Registration and Identity will also be instituted as the tool administered by the Ministry of the Interior that allows the registration and certification of the Acts or Acts of Civil Status that may be registered.

Finally, the proposal was signed by the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) bench and the Committee on Budget and Public Accounts was turned to correct its opinion.

The issue of identity has taken part of the parliamentary perspective in the Chamber of Deputies during the government of the so-called 4Q, to such an extent that legislators have been brought into intense discussions inside and outside the palace of San Lazaro. For example, Congressman Gabriel Quadri, from PAN, and Salma Luévano, from Morena, have starred ideological fights over identity for the promotion of trans youth in Mexico.

And it is that on March 31, the panista, after feeling aggrieved in a parliamentary discussion, called Luévano, who is a trans deputy who promotes the agenda of visibility of this sector of the population that is usually discriminated against, “sir”.

After this expression, there were a number of female deputies who began to condemn what Quadri mentioned. In this way Cynthia Iliana López Castro, of the PRI; Susana Prieto Terrazas and Lidia Pérez Bárcenas, from Morena; as well as Gerardo Fernández Noroña, from the PT, spoke in which they recalled that the non-recognition of gender to trans people constitutes a violation of Article 1 of the Constitution.

The flag bearer of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) demanded that the panista offer an apology for the violation of the human rights of his fellow deputy, but Morena's bench went further and warned that he would proceed against the official and said that they will go to electoral bodies to denounce the political violence based on gender and demanded that Gabriel Quadri be impeached for the number of times he has reiterated this type of aggression.
