Michoacán legal dispute over political violence

Overview

Senator Gerardo Fernández Noroña, a member of the Morena party, challenged a ruling by the Electoral Tribunal of Michoacán that ordered him to issue a public apology to the mayor of Uruapan, Grecia Quiroz. The tribunal had found that Noroña engaged in political violence against women through his communications. Noroña argued that the decision was a “blow” and claimed his statements were protected by legislative immunity and constitutional freedom of expression.

Following the challenge, the Electoral Tribunal of Michoacán upheld the sanction against the senator. The tribunal ruled by majority that his verbal aggressions warranted penalties, including the requirement for a public apology and a prohibition against referring to Quiroz in the manner previously used. Mayor Quiroz stated that the resolution was not a personal matter but a necessary step to address political violence.
