Total hypocrisy! Andrea Chávez accuses nepotism and ends up sunk by the same thing

The Morena senator tried to expose Kenia López, but documents reveal that her family also lives off the Senate.

In an attempt to point out nepotism in the Senate, Andrea Chávez ended up embroiled in the same controversy. The Morena legislator posted a document on social media that supposedly proves the brother of PAN senator Kenia López Rabadán obtained a high position in the Upper Chamber. However, users on social media and local media replied by revealing contracts and records linking two of Chávez's relatives to the legislative payroll.

The documents that reveal the double standard

Andrea Chávez shared an image of a contract pointing to José Bricio López Rabadán, the PAN member's brother. According to the document, he held the position of "Director of Parliamentary Evaluation" with a salary exceeding 100 thousand pesos per month.

Soon after, images of other contracts went viral. These documents reveal that her own father, José Luis Chávez Viguera, was also benefited with public resources. The same happened with Gregorio Chávez, another close relative, who obtained a contract in the Senate.

Andrea Chávez's relatives on the legislative payroll

Reports indicate that José Luis Chávez Viguera, alias "El Loco," has been part of the senatorial payroll with a legislative advisory contract in commissions. Meanwhile, Gregorio Chávez, the legislator's cousin, has held a position at Liconsa, a state milk distribution company.

"In a slip-up, even the family pet will end up with some position," social media users joked after learning about the documents.

Local media like "El Diario MX" have pointed out that Andrea Chávez has used her office to place close associates. Among them, Alonso Pelayo, husband of senator Bertha Caraveo, and Jorge Muñoz, the legislator's cousin. Both have secured administrative positions within the Senate.

The "placement agency" of Morena

These cases reinforce the perception that the Senate has become a placement agency for relatives and associates of Morena legislators. Meanwhile, Chávez attempted to point out the opposition, forgetting that her own circle is benefiting from public funds.

The scandal confirms a constant in the 4T government: pointing out corruption when convenient, but hiding it when it involves its own members.
