Andrea Chávez, senator for Morena, is at the center of a new scandal for using resources to promote her image in Chihuahua. Now she faces criticism not only for the million-dollar expenses on billboards and propaganda but also for using mobile health units in supposed proselytizing tours disguised as medical attention.
The brigades operate in different communities of the state, offering free services while spreading her face and name. The units are not public, but they are associated with a businessman linked to her close political circle.
The strategy, according to analysts, is part of her anticipated aspiration for the governorship in 2027.
Morena is breaking from within
Members of the party itself have begun to raise their voices. They accuse that figures like Chávez receive privileged treatment, access to resources, and media coverage while the base operates in neglect. Morena, which was once a movement, now seems like an electoral machine.
It is pointed out that Macarena Montoya, Secretary of Health of the State of Mexico, may have facilitated access to mobile health units for political purposes. Although Chávez denies having control over the vehicles, the events are clearly aimed at positioning her as a "close to the people" figure.
