More than 100 Advisors denounced Elizabeth Pérez to the Ethics Committee of Saint Lazarus for discrimination

A group of more than 100 parliamentary advisers filed a complaint with the Ethics Committee of the federal Chamber of Deputies to denounce discriminatory actions by the seconded legislator Elizabeth Pérez to the parliamentary bench of the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), this by condemning statements made by the deputy during the discussion of the Electricity Reform on Sunday, April 17.

This Wednesday, 20, through social networks, the advisor Víctor Parra released the brief specifying the complaint to this body of San Lazaro. Likewise, the statements by the deputy are detailed and it is alleged that Pérez Valdez committed discriminatory and pejorative acts against that union.

The document specifies that at 19:52 hours (Central Mexico time), during the participation of Deputy Lida Pérez Bárcenas, from the parliamentary bench of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) ), Perez Valdez asked to speak; however, instead of attending the parliamentary discussion, he made a discriminatory statement against his colleague.

In addition, as if that were not enough, this expression also pejoratively involved the group of parliamentary advisers working inside the Chamber of Deputies: “To see if the former PRD adviser, excuse me, federal deputy allows me to ask a question”. Consequently, Karla Almazán, who served as president of the Board of Directors, demanded respect for the Morenista.

According to the more than 100 subscribers of the complaint, this was “a clear attempt to minimize and undermine Congressman Lidia, using the term 'adviser' in a discriminatory manner, this being a clear violation of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, the Regulations of the Chamber of Deputies and the Code of Ethics”.

The statement abounds that the flag bearer of the Aztec sun violated the principles of non-discrimination, honesty and impartiality. They also supported their accusation and pointed out how this grievance violated the Magna Carta and the regulations previously mentioned.

First they pointed out that the third paragraph of the first article of the Constitution dictates. “All authorities, within their competence, have an obligation to promote, respect, protect and guarantee human rights in accordance with the principles of universality, interdependence, indivisibility and progressivity. Consequently, the State must prevent, investigate, punish and redress violations of human rights, in the terms established by law”, they also recalled that this same document prohibits discrimination.

Under this logic, he recalled that Article 8 of the House Rules states that “it will be the duties of deputies and deputies: to treat with respect and professionalism the personnel who render their services to the Chamber”. Similarly with the Code of Ethics of the Chamber of Deputies of the Honorable Congress of the Union in articles 4, 6, 8 and 10, since, according to the complainants, Elizabeth Pérez violated the precept of honesty, committed abuse of power, did not conduct herself with respect and carried out acts of discrimination.
