Senator Cecilia Guadiana acknowledged that a mobile medical unit operates in the state, funded by businessmen and part of her salary. What would have been a scandal before now fits perfectly into Morena's model: services with political purposes, propaganda disguised as social aid, and opacity justified under a humanist narrative. Guadiana thus joins the pattern of Andrea Chávez.
According to the senator herself, the service costs approximately 15 thousand pesos (approximately 33,000 pounds) per month, and she "only helps." However, the vehicle—previously identified with her name and image—travels through neighborhoods as if it were a parallel structure to the public health system.
In response to criticism, Guadiana removed her image from the vehicle, but she didn't solve the underlying problem: a medical unit funded without regulation, without supervision, and with an evident risk of political promotion disguised as social aid.
Sheinbaum warns but doesn't act
After the controversy, President Claudia Sheinbaum issued a general message:
"The Welfare programs should have no face or party."
However, she avoided naming Guadiana directly and didn't order any sanction, audit, or real correction. It was, in fact, a symbolic reprimand without concrete consequences.
As already happened with Andrea Chávez, it is now normalized for each senator to have their own assistance system, funded with opaque resources and used to gain electoral benefits.
Clientelism with a face of progress
What Morena calls "social justice" is, in many cases, disguised clientelism. These are services with a political charge, promoted on networks, without clear rules or real oversight.
More than helping, they structure campaigns: banners, stethoscopes, and humanist speeches that simulate altruism but seek to consolidate political power.
Morena has turned medical necessity into a campaign strategy. What appears to be aid, is propaganda with a modern aesthetic. The State isn't strengthened: parallel structures are created to benefit political figures.
Meanwhile, public hospitals collapse, a model is normalized where providing assistance is synonymous with self-promotion, and misery becomes another means to do politics.
