The councilor of Morena in Guadalajara, Juan Alberto Salinas Macías, left his public responsibility to attend the Tokyo Marathon in Japan. Meanwhile, the appointment of the new Treasurer of the municipality was being discussed in the council.
His absence from the session caused controversy. There is no record of any vacation request or special permission that would justify his absence. This has sparked criticism about his commitment to the local administration.
Morena attempts to justify the absence
His party colleagues tried to justify his absence in a key debate for the financial management of the municipality. They argued that "he didn't attend because he didn't agree with the proposed profile" for the Treasury.
However, this explanation didn't convince the public opinion. The councilor wasn't even in the country when the vote took place.
