The Michoacán court will evaluate whether parliamentary immunity exempts Noroña from sanctions for gender-based political violence.

The Electoral Tribunal of the State of Michoacán (TEEMich) is set to evaluate whether statements made by Morena Senator Gerardo Fernández Noroña are protected by parliamentary immunity. The tribunal must conduct an exhaustive analysis to determine if this legal protection shields the lawmaker from potential sanctions.

The case centers on remarks attributed to Fernández Noroña that have been flagged under accusations of political gender-based violence. The upcoming evaluation by TEEMich will test the limits of parliamentary inviolability regarding speech and conduct by high-ranking political figures in Mexico.
