Complaint for domestic violence
María Felicia Jiménez Lavie, a UNAM professor and nuclear engineer, made public her complaint for physical, economic and psychological attacks allegedly committed by her husband, Víctor Rodríguez Padilla, former director of Pemex. In an interview, he reported that the episodes of violence occurred on three occasions, the most recent being the most intense. A video spread on social networks shows Rodríguez Padilla hitting her and pushing her in the presence of a minor.
“This was the third episode, the strongest of all, but this as such was not recurring. This occurred only three times, the first being in 2022,” he declared.
Censorship after the complaint
Jiménez Lavie assured that, after publishing the evidence, she was subject to censorship to silence her. He stated that they canceled his account on
“Yes, I am afraid of him, of his influences, of all the people who support him in silence, because all this blocking my networks has not been done by him alone, he has done it with a support network,” he expressed.
The academic contradicted the Ministry of Energy, which stated that Rodríguez Padilla had not formally joined the INEEL. Jiménez Lavie pointed out that on June 3, the institute itself publicly welcomed him as general director. In the family sphere, although they are still married, they stopped living together in March; He accused the former official of exercising psychological violence against his eldest son and of neglecting the youngest son they have in common.
Support from the Women’s Secretariat
The Women’s Secretariat contacted the complainant to offer legal and psychological guidance, although it still does not have security measures. This Monday, through a letter addressed to journalist Azucena Uresti, Jiménez Lavie described his complaint as an act of courage to protect his children and called on the population to report any form of harassment or violence.
