A prominent Mexican Social Democrat has called his fellow Mexicans hypocrites for voicing their outrage at the Islamic terrorist massacre in Paris, yet the country remains silent about the many massacres that have taken place in Mexico.

Just hours after Islamic terrorists massacred scores of innocent victims in Paris in that country’s deadliest terrorist attack, people in Mexico quickly took to social media to voice their unity and support.

On Saturday, many Facebook and Twitter profiles had turned their photographs to variations of the French flag as well as photos that had the hash tag #OremosPorParis.

However, on Friday night as news of the brutal attack began to spread, Jose Gerardo Fernandez Norona, a prominent politician with the Worker’s Party (PT), posted his retort calling the Mexican people hypocritical.

“As much as this may irritate some, it is profoundly hypocritical to be outraged by the massacre in Paris yet play dumb with the ones in Mexico,” Fernandez Norona said through his Twitter account Friday night.
