Julio Scherer Pareyón, a federal deputy in Mexico, emphasized the significance of his father's book ‘Ni venganza ni perdón’ (Neither Revenge nor Forgiveness) as more than a political manifesto; he sees it as a personal account reflecting over three decades of political experience intertwined with personal convictions. He argues that the narrative presented in the book should be understood as a collection of lived experiences rather than a politically motivated critique.

Scherer Pareyón defended the nature of the memoir, stating that it sheds light on the workings of power and individual behaviors that may have diverged from the lofty ideals they aimed to achieve. He stressed the importance of addressing these issues openly, rather than opting for what he termed a 'comfortable silence,' which does not contribute to public accountability. This perspective aligns with a broader discourse in Mexican society about transparency and ethical governance.

Furthermore, the deputy pointed out that the book takes a critical stance on figures and decisions that have detrimental effects on political processes, thereby aiming to provoke constructive dialogue on responsible leadership and public service. This insight not only reflects Scherer Pareyón's familial legacy but also contributes to the ongoing conversation about the responsibility of those in power to acknowledge both their successes and failures.
