I remain a senator with no party, committed to continuing to speak with the truth.

Lilly Téllez was elected by a relative majority (with the vote of the citizens) as a senator for the state of Sonora. The journalist has also stated that she is not left-wing and has positions with the Morena parliamentary group on issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage.
In December 2019, the National Commission on Honesty and Justice of Morena asked that Lilly Téllez be separated from Morena’s bench in the Senate because she does not militate in the party and “does not share, respect, nor represent” the provisions of Morena’s basic documents. The petition did not succeed

Lilly Téllez has voted against several Morena proposals, such as the Law for the Protection of Native Maize, the Reforms of the Economic Culture Fund and the pronouncement on political asylum to Evo Morales.
In recent weeks he also criticized actions of the federal government and President López Obrador, such as the health of the mother of the kingpin Joaquín ‘el Chapo’ Guzmán.

This greeting is a grievance to the victims of drug trafficking and the Mexican armed forces.
These images of the President of the Republic hurt and worry.
