And Finally...

Adolfo Gómez Hernández, a legislator of the Morena parliamentary group in Mexico, invited individuals with censers and two others who sacrificed the animal in the government building on Wednesday (April 24th).

Colleagues of the lawmakers stated they tried to prevent the animals from entering the Senate.

However, the determined Hernández ensured the unusual ritual took place inside the building. A statement from the Senate declared it “does not endorse in any way the reported events and will take appropriate disciplinary action against the responsible senator.”

Ana Lilia Rivera Rivera, President of the Senate’s Board of Directors, said in a statement: “These events occurred under the strict individual responsibility of Senator Adolfo Gómez Hernández, who justified the action under the protection of the uses and customs of an indigenous group or community in which he expressed his self-identification.”
