Overview
- About 260 books were delivered to each of the 67 Morena senators this week, totaling roughly 17,000 to 17,420 copies.
- Adán Augusto López Hernández stated he procured the books himself and used no Senate funds, estimating the expense at more than 3 million pesos.
- Senators offered conflicting accounts on payment, with Eugenio Segura saying he paid 600 pesos per copy while Manuel Huerta described the books as a gift.
- Reported prices per book ranged from 329 to 600 pesos, and some reports suggested costs could be charged to senators’ prerogatives or the caucus budget.
- Boxes marked by Editorial Planeta and cards with López Hernández’s name were moved in after a Dec. 5 truck delivery, with plans to distribute the books as year‑end gifts to constituents.
