Héctor Ruiz Mejía – In her first public act as deputy-elect, «Lolis» López, originally from Jocotepec, declared that she will seek a legislative agenda that is close to the people, to her district, as well as to promoting substantive equality, she said during the first open parliamentary session that took place on November 10 in the Jalisco State Congress.
The deputy was sworn in as president of the Substantive Equality and Gender Commission, and as a member of the Environment, Civil Protection and Resilience Commission. She aims to ensure better participation of women in both private and public spheres.
«Equality is not only a women’s issue, it is not a fight against men, it is a matter for everyone», explained López Jara, who stated that she will work towards all women having an impact on «an even floor of equal opportunities».
López Jara presented the five axes of the program of Movimiento Ciudadano (MC) to a diverse audience including businessmen, activists and different media. She highlighted issues such as economic development, security, culture and corruption, especially the approach to the civilian population.
The Jocotepec congresswoman explained in an interview with Semanario Laguna that her plan is «to get to know the people» and explained that she intends to repeat the presentation in her District (District 17). She has several times tried to hold similar formal events in delegations such as San Juan Cosalá, but attendance has been low.
«These proposals are not conjectures, it will be an open parliament to listen to the entire civilian population because sometimes everything is concentrated only in the metropolitan area,» said Lolis.
López Jara served as a Councilor in the 2018-2021 administration, as well as a consultant for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; in addition, she has attended various courses focused on leadership for women, and equality and gender perspectives
