Porfirio Muñoz Ledo will fight back

The head of the lower chamber, Porfirio Muñoz Ledo , compared the detention of migrants in Mexico and the U.S . to the Auschwitz concentration camp , used by Nazis to murder thousands of Jews during WWII. Muñoz Ledo, also a former UN ambassador, seems very upset about the situation and he won't stay quiet while Mexico implements a “ safe third country” policy. He is planning to do something all the way from the chamber. Nevertheless, until now, the politician has found little support among his fellow party members. Who will join Muñoz Ledo?
