Noroña once again confronted former prosecutor Morales Lechuga: “It's good that you show your feelings of betrayal”

Gerardo Fernández Noroña, a federal deputy for the Labour Party (PT), again generated controversy when responding to criticism from former prosecutor Ignacio R. Morales Lechuga, character with whom he has already had disagreements on social networks in the past few weeks.

Through his verified Twitter account, the petista accused the former rector of the Free School of Law (ELD) of betraying the historical ideals of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and looking more like a cadre of the National Action Party (PAN), for which he thanked him for demonstrating “his frank thoughts” of an alleged betrayal of the homeland.

He also explained that, despite his reluctance, Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) managed to grant 40% of the national budget; however, he acknowledged that it currently gives 19%, more than, he said, any private company, so he stressed the importance of continuing to belong to the State.

“And you call yourself PRI, you have a paniaguada soul. How good that they show their frank thoughts of betrayal of the country. @Pemex gave the country 40% of the national budget. He still gives him 19% today. Any private is light years from that contribution, metecato”, he wrote this Wednesday, April 20

The legislator's words were in response to the tweet published by the Mexican ambassador to France (1993-1995) where he questioned the reasons why citizens continue to “pay” because Pemex is parastatal and not a private company.

In the short message he posted on his social networks, Morales Lechuga indicated that the taxes collected by the Tax Administration System (SAT) each year only serve to pay “the terrible” decisions that administrations make with the parastatal government.

And the fact is that the words of the former official were strongly questioned, not only by Noroña, but by netizens who read the tweet: “Lechuga's most fallacious argument”, “nor because he used Pemex”, “he never understood what it is like to be productive”.

As already mentioned, both politicians had already confronted each other on social networks, this happened on April 6 when the ambassador mocked the deputy of the Labour Party when mention was made of the possibility of her losing her visa, following her participation in the Friendship Group with Russia in the Chamber of Deputies.

On those occasions, the former prosecutor recommended that the deputy better change the compass of his destinies, because, according to political ideology, he could vacation in nations such as Nicaragua, Cuba or Venezuela, for which he has expressed his support, despite the criticism of the governments that these nations have.

In response, the legislator of the Fourth Transformation explained to the former PRI collaborator that he is not afraid of the actions that the US government may take, because he does not consider himself “a toy.”

“I have never been intimidated by the kind of reprisals and crazy interference that you celebrate. As you are used to being a toy of the government. You think we all work the same way, sad and sorry to be,” he wrote.
