PAN urges Sheinbaum to appoint head of Secretariat of Women; claims women are not a priority for Morena

Federal deputies from the National Action Party (PAN) are demanding that President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo promptly appoint a leader for the Secretariat of Women. The party asserts that women have ceased to be a priority for the current "4T" administration and for Sheinbaum herself.

The PAN deputies stated that the creation of the Secretariat of Women was initially a "perfect pretext" to politically place individuals, referencing the move of Citlalli Hernández to the leadership of the Morena party. They expressed disappointment that an area initially intended to be elevated to secretariat level is now "in oblivion."

According to PAN deputy Paulina Rubio, the absence of a designated head means there is no focused direction or specialized policy for the protection and attention of women. This situation has persisted for nearly two months since the secretariat's inception.

The party condemned the situation, particularly given Sheinbaum is the nation's first female president. They argue that the Secretariat of Women has been "in absolute abandonment and oblivion." PAN deputy Laura Álvarez Soto added that women in Mexico continue to face violence, disappearances, and inequality, highlighting the urgency of having a dedicated leadership.

The PAN deputies called for the appointment of individuals with genuine profiles who can address the causes affecting women and work on public policy, rather than political quotas or appointments. They concluded that women in Mexico are "neither seen nor heard," citing the recent incident where mothers searching for missing loved ones were met with riot police instead of attention during a march.

El PAN repudia y condena que la primer presidenta mujer, aquella que dijo haber roto el techo de cristal, tenga en el absoluto abandono y olvido el trabajo de la Secretaría de Mujeres
