The "republican austerity" was once again called into question by Morena's own members. Senators from the party revealed million-dollar assets in their asset declarations: residences, land, cars, jewelry, and even exclusive boxes. All this while President Claudia Sheinbaum talks about modesty, the people, and public ethics.
The most blatant case is that of Senator Carlos Lomelí from Jalisco. He declared five houses—one of them valued at 49.5 million pesos—six apartments, five commercial spaces, a warehouse, and a box. Additionally, he boasts seven cars, works of art, fine watches, and jewelry.
Austerity... but with a driver, box, and private collection
Adán Augusto López, Ignacio Mier, and Alejandro Esquer also accumulate high-value land and properties. Not bad for those who repeat that "power is to serve, not to enrich oneself."
At the other extreme, there are senators who declare not having a single property. Miraculous examples of public servants without assets. Or without scruples.
Claudia calls for humility, but lives like an oligarch
From the presidential pulpit, Claudia Sheinbaum demands her team live in "just mediocrity."
But she herself travels with military escorts, helicopters, designer clothes... all the trappings of power.
How many millions is the character of the "scientist of the people" worth? Sheinbaum not only tolerates these excesses: she embraces and justifies them.
