Marisela Morales Ibáñez confirmed as new attorney general

In her Senate hearings, Marisela Morales Ibáñez promised not to politicize the law should she become attorney general of Mexico. That was not enough to convince the PRD senators, but today she was nonetheless confirmed as the first woman attorney general in Mexico's history, with 84  YES votes, 15 NO, and 7 absentions, including 5 PT senators and PRD senators Rosalinda Hernández and Josefina Cota.

As expected, given their earlier grievances with Morales Ibáñez, the PRD's senatorial group voted against her.
