Overview
- In a video chat and later on the Senate floor, the Morena senator called Grecia Quiroz “irresponsible” and a “fascist” after she named Leonel Godoy and Raúl Morón as possible suspects in Carlos Manzo’s murder.
- He said her ambition to run for the 2027 Michoacán governorship had “awakened” and urged her to take any evidence to the prosecutor’s office.
- The comments trended on X, drawing a public challenge from local deputy Carlos Bautista Tafolla, who told Noroña to leave Quiroz alone and meet him in Uruapan.
- Former PT deputy Francisco Huacus condemned the senator’s remarks, accused him of misogyny, and demanded he show his face.
- Senate president Laura Itzel Castillo declined to comment, while opposition senators labeled the remarks gender-based political violence; authorities have announced no new findings in the Manzo case.
