translated from Spanish: AMLO on deputy accused of abuse

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador condemned any kind of abuse and assured that in his government there will be no impunity for anyone, after being questioned about the case of Saúl Benjamín Huerta, deputy of Morena, who is accused of sexual abuse against a 15-year-old.
“Since I took office, I said there was not going to be impunity for anyone or my family, whoever commits a crime has to be punished, because we are not the same, we are not going to cover up, we have to punish, punish those responsible for any crime,” he said.

“That has to do with the party, but it also has to do with the judiciary because that falls into the sphere of criminal law. It’s no longer the Attorney General’s Office before, it’s no longer the mafia of power that’s in charge of the government, it’s another thing, we’re not the same, so let it be acted on,” he said.
Morena reported yesterday that Huerta Corona definitively and irrevocably renounced the candidacy of Federal Deputy for District 11.

The mother of the child who was sexually abused, who accuses the deputy of assaulting him, assured that the legislator offered the young man a job.
Milenio Television released another testimony of a young minor who also denounced the deputy for attempted sexual abuse.
Morena’s bench coordinator, Ignacio Mier, brazenlyd his parliamentary group from initiating a process of disaffronle against Huerta Corona.
The legislator argued that this is “the personal life” of the licensed deputy, who seeks re-election by District 11 in Puebla, and that he did not commit any action in his role as an MP.
“I respect the personal decisions and personal life that each member of the legislative body has,” he told the media that they approached him.
Meanwhile, Morena’s general secretary, Citlalli Hernandez, called him to apply for leave to face the allegations.
