Morena's Organization Secretary Faces Criticism Over Tokyo Vacation
Morena's Organization Secretary, Andy López Beltrán, has found himself at the centre of a controversy following his vacation to Tokyo, Japan. The trip, which reportedly cost approximately 7,500 Mexican pesos per night for lodging, has generated criticism due to a perceived contradiction with the austerity principles promoted by his political party.
López Beltrán claimed that the cost included breakfast, but this amount is contested. The average cost of a standard room with breakfast at the Hotel Okura Tokyo, where he stayed, is about 21,378 pesos per night, indicating his stated cost may be underestimated.
Despite the criticism, López Beltrán defended himself against allegations of extravagance. He emphasised that he funded the trip himself, traveled commercially, and rejected accusations as politically motivated attacks by conservatives.
The controversy has sparked a debate on the consistency of Morena's austerity rhetoric, with several members of the party being seen enjoying luxury hotels, gourmet dinners, and expensive vacations. This has raised questions about the party's commitment to maintaining integrity in public life.
López Beltrán reiterated that his party is not the same as those who are corrupt. He expressed a willingness to endure humiliation when fighting for a just cause and a commitment to following the example of President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo in maintaining integrity in public life.
Arturo Ávila Anaya, the party's spokesman, announced López Beltrán's absence to the media. López Beltrán had taken a commercial flight to Tokyo after a pre-planned personal trip to Seattle, Washington, and his absence did not imply an attempt to avoid the session.
López Beltrán expressed surprise at the "journalistic underworld" allegedly equivalent to the economic and political power mafia being fought against. He learned from childhood that "power is humility" and that austerity is a matter of principles, so he lives in moderation.
In summary, López Beltrán's vacation to Tokyo, Japan, has generated criticism due to its perceived contradiction with the austerity principles promoted by Morena. López Beltrán claimed the cost of his lodging was approximately 7,500 Mexican pesos per night, but this amount is contested. He defended himself against allegations of extravagance, stating that he funded the trip himself, traveled commercially, and rejected accusations as politically motivated attacks by conservatives.
