Pan Toman La Tribuna En El Senado Para Protestar Contra El Inai Sin Comisionados

Introduction

In the hallowed halls of the Senate, a tempestuous debate ensued over the discussion of three pending appointments to the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Protection of Personal Data (INAI). The debate reached such heights that it ultimately led to the suspension of the ordinary session. Silvia Arellano, our keen observer of all political shenanigans, will now regale us with the juicy details.

The Controversial Countdown

Acción Nacional, the political opposition party, strategically placed a countdown clock showing the number of days the INAI had not been in session due to the pending appointments. According to their calculations, it had been a whopping 18 days since the organization had convened. The absence of at least one of the three pending commissioners was responsible for this predicament. The frustration of Acción Nacional was tangible, as they sought to compel their counterparts in the Morena party to discuss the issue at hand.

Pandemonium in the Senate

In an act of defiance, Acción Nacional legislators stormed the podium, effectively hijacking the debate. This unruly behavior incited a temporary recess, followed by a suspension of the session after half an hour. The president of the Senate, Alejandro Armenta, had no choice but to bring an end to the chaos. However, before the suspension was called, a heated exchange between senators gave us a glimpse into the mind-boggling intricacies of their political theatrics.

One senator vehemently demanded that the appointments be considered immediately, emphasizing the urgency of reinstating transparency in Mexico. His counterpart unleashed a scathing attack, accusing him of hypocrisy and attempting to manipulate the INAI by appointing a party comrade as a commissioner. The theatrics and name-calling epitomized the absurdity of the situation.

Promises and Potentials

In a desperate attempt to appease the disgruntled Acción Nacional party, Ricardo Monreal, a prominent senator from Morena, arranged an informal meeting with the opposition senators. During this gathering in the courtyard of the Senate, promises were made and potential solutions were discussed. The Acción Nacional senators agreed to remove the banners blocking the proceedings, allowing the session to resume in the coming days.

Monreal, on his part, vowed to continue the dialogue with his party members to salvage the situation. It is worth noting that time is of the essence, as the ordinary session is set to conclude on April 30th. One can only hope that at least one of the pending appointments can be confirmed before then, allowing the INAI to finally resume its operations. Monreal even suggested engaging the Secretary of Government in discussions, demonstrating a willingness to explore every avenue to find a resolution.

The Medal and the Secret Intervention

Kenia López, a senator from Morena, added an interesting twist to the potential solutions. She proposed holding a solemn session in Cuco to present the Belisario Domínguez Medal to Elena Poniatowska, a renowned Mexican author. This ceremony could provide an opportunity for the opposition senators to have a brief discussion with the Secretary of Government. Monreal assured them that he could intervene and secure a three-minute dialogue with the coordinator of the party.

The possibility of expressing their concerns directly to the Secretary of Government raised hopes among the Acción Nacional senators. It remains to be seen whether this creative idea will pave the way for meaningful discussions and ultimately lead to a resolution.

Conclusion

As the drama unfolds in the Senate, we eagerly await the outcome of these political machinations. Will the INAI finally be back in session? Will transparency be restored to Mexico? Will the opposing factions find common ground, or will the comedy of errors continue? Only time will tell. Stay tuned for further updates on this riveting saga.
