The representative denied that there is violence due to confinement, that it has increased during the pandemic, since the Mexican family is different from those of other countries, “there has always been a coexistence in harmony”.
The Mexican family is different from that of Europe or the United States, we are used to living together (…) I am not saying that there is no confrontation in Mexico, of course there are differences in all families, but that we have to extrapolate what happens elsewhere, beware of stereotypes, with theories of general application, I reveal myself to that,” he said.

“If we were conservatives maybe we wouldn’t be interested in the issue, but we have defended the poor, the helpless, the most vulnerable, in defense of women, there is evidence of that,” he said.
“Now the Conservatives have been given to point out that we do nothing in defense of women, they are wrong, we are constantly dealing with the matter, every day.”
She said they will continue to defend and protect women “without being a feminist, we are humanists.”
