Bueno también me han hecho reaccionar rápidamente la palabra "solamente las
personas activas", si se dice por los demás miembros que no estamos activos
y no apoyamos "sus agendas", es simple; porque ustedes trabajan sin hacer
conocer verdaderamente sus agendas y los logros.

Me parece más bien que trabajan para consolidarse en el ambiente en donde
se están representando y no veo que están representando a todos los
miembros del Igcaucus, lo digo porque siempre leo que se están eligiendo y
es más que un grupo.

Debe de establecerse una comisión de fiscalización, el cual siga y
califique el actuar de los que nos representen en los diversos ámbitos.
