In front of his colleagues from the news program ‘Hechos Meridiano’, Christian Lara and Mónica Castañeda, the journalist expressed that he is pleased that menstruating women and people can be absent from their work, as long as they verify that they have “very strong colic”.
It was through social networks that this controversial debate began to go viral. And it is that after the news of said initiative was made known, Alejandro Villalvazo he was immediately upset and brought up his disagreement with this proposal.

However, the hosts explained to Villalvazo during the program that there is no study that proves whether or not there is strong colic and that not all women have access to a gynecologist so that they can corroborate their conditions that occur during menstruation.
In a video broadcast through Twitter, you can see that Villalvazo questioned her colleagues about their criteria before this, behind the camera.
“I am surprised by the attitude of you, women, co-workers… It surprises me a lot… It is that they want nothing,” Alejandro told the communicators.

Christian Lara stressed that Not even the IMSS will be able to carry out this studybecause there is no such or medicines.
On the other hand, Mónica Castañeda stressed that appointments for any review take time to occur, so it would be almost impossible for it to be attended to in full colic.
Faced with these arguments, Villalvazo ruled that ultimately the one who should determine it are the medical stays: “So you don’t have your 3 days, the issue is for those who suffer from pain,” he said.
