Shame

Recently, PAN cancelled the rights as delegate of Víctor González Ortega, since he was found drunk and with drugs and a gun. But, the thing is that he is not just a simple delegate, he is the president of Congreso del Estado de Baja California.
What makes this striking is that the municipal police recorded his detention, and the tape clearly shows he is totally drunk, with cocaine and a gun, and... DRIVING THE OFFICIAL VEHICLE OF PODER LEGISLATIVO!
The video is funny; it shows this guy babbling and staggering. But then, a policeman tells González Ortega he is in trouble because of the drug. And tells him, 'Imagine the newspaper tomorrow, especially the yellow press, could you imagine the title of the news? PAN Delegate is found drunk and with cocaine in official vehicle, ah no no wait, President of Congreso is found drunk?' And González Ortega says he is right and he is all f***** up because of the drug.
Víctor González Ortega was checked up after this; the police checked his house and tested him, but they found 'nothing'and he was set free. Weeks later when the video was shown in the news of most states,he just denied it. But, we know what we saw, so he admitted he had drunk some beer because it was Sunday, after a cabalgata and asked media to stop it because they were damaging his family, his party and himself. Oh please! Months before, he was also punished because cans with alcohol and vomit, and used condoms were found in his office, so I do not think media must stop 'damaging his image'. He deserves it, and also PAN. Why all the evidence just disappeared? Why he did not go to jail? Why the police did not go further? Obviously PAN asked for it. Its image as a 'serious political institution'was being degraded, so they disappeared all the drug and the gun, sent González Ortega home, took over the anti-doping tests and the policeman who recorded it.
It is unfair, PAN is demonstrating that it is a double-standard institution that only looks after its own interests.
