Scandal in Congress: Suspension of María Cordero reveals corruption and complicity under discussion

In recent days, the Congress hemicycle has witnessed a sad and shameful performance starring suspended congresswoman María Cordero. With fake tears and an acting worthy of an award for hypocrisy, Cordero tried to avoid losing her seat in front of her fellow parliamentarians. Despite her desperate attempt to stay in office, Cordero's scheme almost succeeded. Initially, the full Congress failed to gather the necessary votes to lift her immunity or to disqualify her. However, thanks to the intervention of some lawmakers who stood up for common sense, the vote was reconsidered and it was decided to suspend Cordero from her position until her case is resolved through the judicial system. María Cordero represents the worst of politics: a character without scruples who uses her position to benefit herself at the expense of others. The former congresswoman from Fuerza Popular has been accused of demanding half of her ex-advisor's salary, as well as using him for tasks unrelated to her parliamentary duties, such as running personal errands, like buying a papaya, or chauffeuring her around. This abusive and dishonest behavior only serves to tarnish politics and undermine the public's trust in their representatives. The Congress' decision to suspend Cordero, but not disqualify her, is a half-hearted step. Although she won't be able to resume her seat until her judicial process is resolved, the possibility of her being able to run for office again in the future if not convicted leaves a bitter taste for those hoping for effective and decisive justice. It is important to mention the 30 congressmen who voted against punishing Cordero or abstained. Their complicity with corruption and impunity only reinforces the need for a political renewal that eradicates nefarious figures seeking to enrich themselves at the expense of others' suffering. Society expects that cases like María Cordero's do not go unpunished and serve as a precedent for future abusive behavior within Congress. It is necessary for justice to be served and for those who have committed ethical or legal violations to receive the corresponding sanctions. The public deserves dignified and honest representatives, not theater actors seeking to benefit at the expense of others.
