Morena Deputy Selene Ávila Accuses Monreal, Haces of Gender-Based Political Violence Over IPU Delegation

She says the Geneva exclusion thwarted her bid for a health leadership post, calling it grounds for a tribunal case.

Overview

  • From Geneva, Selene Ávila alleged that coordinator Ricardo Monreal and political operator Pedro Haces kept her off Mexico’s Inter‑Parliamentary Union delegation.
  • She said both leaders knew she planned to attend, citing prior discussions and an invitation as a Health Committee representative.
  • According to Ávila, Monreal told her there were no funds and declined to register her, so she financed the trip herself.
  • She recounted gaining entry by showing her invitation and emails but arriving too late to lobby for the health presidency she sought.
  • Ávila framed the exclusion as gender‑based political violence and signaled potential legal action, with no responses from Monreal or Haces reported.
