The show must go on, but without your partisan rights
Morena’s National Commission of Honesty and Justice is not up for games. He opened a file and ordered the temporary suspension of Sergio Mayer’s party rights. The reason? The deputy asked for leave from Congress to enter La Casa de los Famosos.
The internal body of the party is clear: this decision “fails to comply with its obligations as a militant and affects the image of the party.” Translation: prioritizing a television show over your seat does not look good.
The official version: coherence and principles
In its statement, the Commission was direct. He said Mayer’s departure from Congress caused a “negative impact on public perception” and raised questions about the coherence between Morena’s principles and what its representatives do.
According to the party body, prioritizing a personal project on television over his responsibilities as a public servant represents a lack of internal unity.
They clarify that it is a provisional measure, not a definitive sanction. But the message is sent.
Meanwhile, Mayer had already come out to defend himself days ago. In a column and video, he called his participation a “social experiment” and spoke of the relevance of Latino culture in the United States, where the show is filmed.
Mayer maintained that his media incursion does not contravene his political commitment.
Time will tell if the partisan commission agrees. For now, Mayer’s social experiment has a very specific political cost.
