The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, has been the target of strong criticism on social media after reports emerged alleging that she supposedly underwent a cosmetic treatment with Botox.
Although it hasn't been officially confirmed, the topic has caused a intense debate on platforms like X. Thousands of users questioned the coherence between her public image and her personal decisions.
The main criticisms revolve around the supposed contradiction between the cosmetic procedure and the republican austerity that the federal government has so strongly promoted.
"You can't talk about taking care of the people's money and at the same time spend it on Botox and stylists for 100,000 pesos a month"
wrote a user.
It should be remembered that Sheinbaum had already been accused of spending large sums of money on her personal care. The expenditure includes an estimated monthly payment of 100,000 pesos on professional styling services.
The cost of Claudia's personal image strongly contrasts with the narrative of "austere government close to the people" that has been a central axis of the Morenista discourse.
