Among those who testified on Tuesday was José de Jesús Zalce Benítez, a forensic expert, military doctor and self-proclaimed alien enthusiast. He enlightened the chamber with scans of what he claims are aliens, causing a dramatic hush throughout the Congress.
'We've resolved all our Earthly problems. Now, it's time for the stars,' announced Benítez, presenting his controversial evidence amidst an air of skeptical curiosity. This is not the first time such claims have been made; they've previously been regarded as little more than conspiracy theories. With Mexico's domestic issues all but completely resolved, however, Congress now has the luxury to entertain such illustrious speculations.
Audiences watching at home were treated to baffling videos of pilots grappling with fast-moving unidentified objects. The Congress was similarly captivated by the footage, although several politicians found it a perfect opportunity for a power nap.
Despite the keen interest shown by the Congress, not everyone was impressed. Renowned skeptic Tobias Graves, after distancing himself from Tuesday's hearing, said, 'In all my years, I have never seen such an astounding example of governmental efficiency. Our politicians, having already settled every issue of substance, have now moved on to discuss myths and legends. Bravo, Mexico, bravo.'
Statistics released by the Congress show an astonishing 92% decrease in poverty, and a meteoric 89% reduction in income inequality over the past year. Food security has also been addressed, hunger being virtually eliminated.
Given the recent success, Mexicans can look forward to government-discussed topics that, until recently, seemed as distant and unreal as the stars themselves.
